What do you do when you’ve won every title, taken every trophy, fought every legend? If you’re heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, you retire at age 34 – or at least, you try to. As Tyson discovers in new docusoap At Home with the Furys, the thrill (not to mention the structure) of a life revolving around epic showdowns isn’t so easy to renounce.
Beginning three weeks after Tyson leaves boxing – apparently never to return, but more on that later – At Home with the Furys finds him struggling to adapt to domesticity. Set primarily in the Fury’s flashy family home in Morecambe, the show paints strong portraits of several characters besides Tyson himself – astonishingly even-keeled wife Paris, in effortless (and often single-handed) control of their six children while navigating life in the public eye, and salt-of-the-earth father John, who grounds the family in its Traveller heritage (and looks like he could throw a punch or two at Anthony Joshua if his son wasn’t available).
