British WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, who is undergoing surgery before the fight with Alexander Usyk, spoke about the family drama experienced shortly before the fight with Derek Chisora in early December this year.
In particular, the undefeated boxer found out a week before the fight that his mother, Amber, needed a serious operation, otherwise she could die.
“I got a call when I was in training camp getting ready to fight against Chisora, - shared the Gypsy King in an interview with IFL TV. - They said, “We didn’t want to tell you, but we think you should know that your mother had several strokes, she was in the hospital for ten days and she needs a major operation. There’s a five to one chance he could die. Do you want to come and see her before we start operating?” There was a week left before the fight. One week. And I say: “What? Why the hell didn’t you tell me?” The doctor replied, “She has a blood clot in her throat and has had several strokes. She was paralyzed on one side of her arm and leg, and we have to do an emergency operation to remove the clot and put in a stent.” I’m talking about a phone call. Only one phone call separates you from the crash. I’m glad she survived. She’s fine and she’s getting better now“.
We add that Tyson rarely talks about his relationship with his mother, but once the journalists of the Daily Mail managed to talk to the invincible boxer. “To be honest, my mom doesn’t fully understand what I have achieved as a boxer, Fury said. - I once took her shopping after the Wilder fight and got stopped for photos and autographs everywhere I went in Manchester. Mom could not understand this and asked me: “Son, how do you know so many people?” I had to explain to her that I am the world champion, and these people follow my career, support me. I love my mom very much. Once I bought her her favorite perfume and wanted to buy a Louis Vuitton bag, but she quarreled with me: “Don’t waste your money on this. Save money because you never know when you’ll need them.” Only a mother could scold a multimillionaire like that. She was more concerned about me than about herself. I think all good mothers are like that. I am delighted with them“.
