Tyson Fury v Francis Ngannou: As boxing clash awaits, what is Tyson Fury’s real name and where does he live?

On Friday 27 October 2023 Tyson Fury met Francis Ngannou at the weigh in ahead of their boxing clash in Riyadh tonight (Saturday 28 October 2023). Fury weighed 277.7lbs compared to Ngannou’s 272 lbs. According to Sky Sports, “Fury wasn’t impressed by what he saw of Ngannou on the scales or in his past MMA career and said “I think he’s a big fat sausage and I’ll knock him spark out.” He said afterwards that “I’m going to make it nice and short for him. It’s like a table tennis champion facing Djokovic in the Wimbledon final, totally different.”

Although there have been reports that Tyson’s middle name Luke is actually his real name, on the website for Tyson Fury Ltd on Companies House, his name is listed as Tyson Luke Fury. In an interview with Sky Sports last year boxer Dillian Whyte said “My real name is Dillian. I know his real name is Luke.” He went on to say that “He changed it to Tyson to make himself sound harder. People can have a little look around on the internet and see for themselves. In boxing, the name Tyson is a lot more sellable than Luke.” Dillian Whyte is not the only boxer to have called Tyson Luke. On X formerly known as Twitter, Anthony Joshua said: “You’re a good kid, don’t play with me Luke.”

Where does Tyson Fury live?

Tyson Fury lives with his wife Paris and seven children in a mansion in Morecambe which reportedly is worth £1.7 million. Following his hit Netflix series ‘At Home With The Furys’ Tyson told OK! Magazine that the family “will probably have to move again like we had to after the ITV documentary a few years ago. Loads of people kept turning up to the house and ringing the door at 4am. What people don’t understand is that being famous, it’s not a pleasurable thing to be absolutely honest.”
