Tyson Fury, the undefeated WBC heavyweight world champion, has sparked controversy with his new Netflix documentary series, At Home With The Furys. The nine-part series, which premiered this week, follows the boxer and his family as he attempts to embrace retirement. However, in the first episode, Fury is seen telling the camera crew to 'f**k off' as he leaves a family gathering prematurely.
In a recent interview, Fury admitted he wanted to cancel the series during filming last year. 'Yeah I wanted out,' he told Capital XTRA Breakfast. 'I was like, couple of weeks in I said "Is there any way?", I'd be on the phone with my lawyers "Is there any way I can get out of this?"' He confessed he 'made a mistake' and didn't fully understand what he had signed up for.
Fury, who has bipolar disorder, explained that his mood swings contributed to his on-screen outburst. 'One minute I'm happy, the next minute I'm not,' he said, adding that viewers will see his 'emotional roller-coaster' throughout the series. His wife Paris revealed that their children also struggled with the filming, with their eldest daughter Venezuela, 13, expressing disinterest.
The series, filmed in 2022, also features Fury's brother Tommy and his then-girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague, as well as his father John Fury. Despite the challenges, the documentary has drawn attention for its raw portrayal of the family's life outside the ring.
