TYSON FURY has revealed that his mother was hospitalised with “multiple strokes” and a “blood clot” just one week before his trilogy fight with Derek Chisora.
The heavyweight champion, 34, won his third fight against Chisora earlier this month in front of a capacity crowd at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Fury has revealed that his mother was taken ill just before his fight with Chisora
He claimed the victory with a tenth round TKO to defend his WBC heavyweight world title.
However, just one week before the blockbuster clash, Fury’s mother was rushed to hospital after being taken seriously ill.
In an interview with IFL TV, the Wythenshawe-born boxer said: “I had a phone call when I was in a training camp for Chisora. [They said] ‘We didn’t want to tell you, but we think you should know your mother has had multiple strokes, she’s been in hospital for 10 days and she’s having a massive operation.
“‘There’s a five to one chance that she could die. Do you want to come and see her before she goes in?’
“I’m a week away from my fight. One week. And I’m like: ‘What? Why haven’t you f***ing told me?’
“Rushes down to the hospital, speaks to the doctor. [They said] ‘She’s got a blood clot in her throat and she’s had multiple strokes. She’s lost the use of her arms and legs on one side and we’ve got to do an emergency operation to remove the blood clot and put a stint in.’
“That’s the phone call I’m talking about. You can only be one phone call away from a disaster.”
Fury then revealed that the operation was a success and that his mother is now on the road to recovery.
He added: “I’m thankful she came through. She’s all good and now on the recovery.”
Fury is currently in talks to fight Oleksandr Usyk in the first-ever four-belt title unification next year.
