Fury’s brother Hughie died on October 11, 2014, from a blood clot after failing to take anti blood clotting medication.

And he also paid tribute to another brother that has died in a video he shared on social media.

In the clip, John can be seen smashing a punchbag, while his world heavyweight champion son Tyson can be heard roaring him on.

Captioning the video, John – who took a year off his actual age – said: “Working hard at 55 years old, iv (sic) lost to (sic) brothers both younger than my age now.

“So I will keep up the fitness and stay active, stay positive and stay blessed.”

Fans were quick to comment on his post, as one said: “Inspiration to soooooo many.”

Another messaged: “Amen. May the good lord bless you with health & happiness.”

A third added: “When Big John talks people listen. Keep up with your wise words John.”

Fury only set up an Instagram earlier this week, and he already boasts over 79,000 followers.

His first post delighted his fans after Tyson filmed his dad after he drank a ‘pint of vodka’.
