John Fury was married with kids when he divorced his wife after he turned to partying and spontanous orgies abroad in his late 20s.

His son Tommy announced on Wednesday (August 14) that he and Molly — who were engaged and are parents to a little girl called Bambi — have broken up.

Who is John Fury?

John was born in Galway, Ireland, and he once said “no woman in the world” will ever compare to his mother who took care of the family.

The traveller, now 59, spent his youth fighting others before he took up professional boxing where he had 13 fights but never made as much as £3,000.

He had eight wins and four losses but in his late 20s he turned to partying and was known as a playboy.

John Fury’s love life

Giving an insight on the True Geordie podcast about what a John Fury booze-up looked like, he said: “Three or four brasses every night, three or four bottles of whiskey. If there was any drugs going I would have them and all. Anything goes.

“I woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, three brasses in the bed and I thought you know what, let’s go home to the kids I’ve had enough.

“That’s what I did, I would go home, the missus would batter me with a rolling pin for about 10 minutes and I would get get on with it, I deserve it, back to work Monday morning. But then I used to go walkabouts again and that was John Fury. But I would always loved and cherished my kids.”

And he added: “I would look up and say ‘I’m going for a newspaper’ and I would come back three weeks later. You’d find me on the Costa Del Sol.”

John Fury’s thoughts on marriage

John used to be married to Amber Fury and the pair had three children together — Shane, John and of course former world champion boxer, Tyson.

As for his thoughts on marriage, he said: “I wasn’t really interested in wives. They come and go but your kids stay with you for rest of your life.”

The former couple suffered several miscarriages and their daughter, Ramona, died after birth.

But John has been open about how he met another woman (Tommy Fury’s mum, Chantal) when his marriage to Amber crumbled.

He wrote in his autobiography: “My first wife Amber and I had a rocky patch and, following one particularly ugly argument, she went to live with her parents to give us both some space. She stayed away for six months, and in her absence I began seeing Chantal, who in time was to become my son Tommy’s mum.

“The relationship blossomed and deepened – in fact I’m still with this fine woman today all these years on. Chantal became pregnant early in our relationship and it was with a lump in my throat that I made my confession to Amber and told all my sons from my first marriage that they had a new half-brother on the way.”
