John Fury, father of famed boxers Tyson Fury and Tommy Fury, is currently banned from entering the United States. At age 58, he has established himself as a boxing trainer with a personal record from his boxing years dating from April 1987 to June 1995. During his career, he competed in 13 fights, ending with 8 wins, 4 losses, and 1 draw.
One notable event was when he was knocked out in round three by Henry Akinwande in 1991.
The legal troubles that have led to his US travel restrictions stem from an incident in 2010. John Fury was involved in a brawl at a car auction that tragically resulted in a man being blinded in one eye. The subsequent legal proceedings wound up with him being convicted in 2011 to an 11-year prison term. He served time until his release in 2015.
However, this violent past has had repercussions on his ability to travel. The United States has denied John Fury entry into the country due to this history of violence.
This restriction has adversely affected his ability to support his sons directly during major US fights, given his critical role as the main trainer for Tyson and Tommy Fury.
Despite this setback, the Furys continue their involvement in boxing both within the UK and internationally.
