Sometimes you are consuming something that appears to lower your IQ in real time. Try swallowing all nine episodes of the Netflix series Home with Fury. «What is it like to be the daughter of a gypsy king, heavyweight champion of the world?» Tyson Fury at one point expectantly asks Venezuela's eldest daughter. «Okay,» she replies, and that's her right as a teenager. He continues to chat according to this standard for a little over five hours.
We're invited to explore the expanded universe of Fury, John's dad, who in his pre-fight prayer uses the phrase «it's an end-of-the-day sport,» which you doubt the man upstairs often hears from his flock. Then Tommy's brother and partner Molly-Mae Haig, who have the wit you would expect from a couple who met on Love Island.

More interesting wife Paris and children Venezuela, Prince, Tyson Jr., Valencia, Adonis, Athena, a list of names that starts off silly. , gets a little sober, and by the end completely loses discipline.
Difficult questions are predictably rejected. No mention of Fury's ties to alleged organized crime boss Daniel Kinahan, or that his rivals Tony Bellew and David Price were once labeled «gay amateurs.» Fury has previously spoken out about his alleged ties to Kinahan, saying US sanctions against the suspected mobster «have nothing to do with me now.»
The US Treasury Department's sanctions on Kinahan and six other alleged gang leaders «have nothing to do with my case,» Fury added. «I keep my case to myself, that's all.»
He denies being homophobic, and thankfully there are no new horrific comments here, but there are a lot of name-calling of other boxers that are hard to reconcile with his stated beliefs and family values.
Fury loves to yell «come on!» regularly. If you can get through the series without yelling the same screams, seeing the same footage of Morecambe or hearing him say things like «fight week is very important in the boxing community», you're a more patient viewer than I am.< /p > Tyson Fury (center) at Morecambe Beach Photo: Owen Humphreys/PA
What we see and hear evokes the feeling of a whip. Fury pays tribute to the fans, Father John says on his way to «evening with» in the Isle of Man. It's an interesting way to describe the tour, where tickets and a photo with Fury cost around £150. Fury tells the camera that he desperately wants a break from family life, and then tells the crowd that it's time to «gather up the courage» and take on the responsibility of a father.
Part of this can be attributed to Fury's mental illness. He has been diagnosed with ADHD and bipolar disorder and is clearly prone to mood swings, motivation and impulsivity. He seems to be tragically dependent on audience adulation and performance excitement, jumping up and down with tiger glee as the crowd approaches.
Daily runs and gym sessions are non-negotiable. Dr. Thomas Richardson, assistant professor of clinical psychology at the University of Southampton, tells me this is pretty typical for people with bipolar disorder. “I think the key to a good life with bipolar disorder is routine and stability. The difficulty is that not only negative life events can lead to relapse, such as job loss or divorce. These are also positive points. You can reach a goal, achieve something, and it can really make people sick.”
Thank God for breakout star Paris, who simultaneously looks after six children and one 6ft 9in thirty-something something of years that often behaves more erratically than any of them. She is treated harshly at times, abandoned in favor of a dog when Fury returns from one trip. However, she is the only one who makes fun of her partner and his surreal life.

The show's attempt to prepare Fury for a non-boxing future is met with limited success. You are not going to make him pleasant, but you sympathize with his difficulties and see how clearly his children and wife adore him. Likewise, he often acts like a jerk. Pain is visible on his face as he watches the Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk fight, yelling at the TV screen promising to destroy both fighters. «You're retired,» says a weary Paris. Several times.
Of course, it won't last long. Fury, like many other boxers, is hopelessly addicted to a sport that could kill him. He is wealthy, widely loved, and has reached the pinnacle of his profession. His seventh child is due any day now. He has never been knocked out. And yet, after this unintentionally revealing series, you fear for him.
