THE FURY family is arguably the most well-known in the history of British boxing.
The biggest and most boisterous name in the fighting family is, undoubtedly, former two-time heavyweight champion .
Tyson’s younger brothers and , who both fought in Budapest last week, are also trying to make their own way in the brutal sport.
As is Tyson’s cousin, Hughie, who is on a seven-fight win streak after coming unstuck against retired heavyweight title contender Alexander Povetkin in 2019.
Tyson’s other cousins, Hosea Burton and Nathan Gorman, are also professional boxers who compete at light-heavyweight and heavyweight respectively.
But another member of the massive Fury family has quietly been making a name for himself in the sport.
Super-middleweight prospect James Dean is the latest Fury to pursue the dream of becoming a world champion.
James – the grandson of Jimmy Fury, who is the brother of coaches John and Peter – has been competing as an amateur since October 2021 and has amassed an 8-1 record in his nine outings.
The 19-year-old’s sole defeat came in April 2024 at the hands of Oladimeji Shittu.
But he’s bounced back with a whopping five wins in the space of TWO MONTHS.
The teenager, who is trained by Hughie’s dad Peter, already has accolades galore to his name having won THREE National Championships and a Box Cup.
James, the cousin of Brit icon Tyson, who he SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE, will bid to add another Box Cup title to his trophy cabinet in the 2025 tournament later this month.
And under the watchful eye of head coach Peter, he plans to utilise the famed Fury style to become a world champion at 168lbs.
During an appearance on Sky Sports, he said: “Of course there’s a Fury styling, you know.
“Like I said earlier, you know, you gotta be a Fury to perfect it.
“You know what I mean? It’s in the blood, isn’t it? And look, I’m training every day.
As soon as I turn professional, I will light up the super middleweight division.”;;
