Who is Tyson Fury: When did Gypsy King last fight, is he married and how many children does he have?
Nicknamed the Gypsy King, the 6ft9 colossus stunned the sport when he became world champion in late 2015
TYSON FURY is one of the most recognisable and outspoken figures in modern boxing.
Nicknamed the Gypsy King, the 6ft9 colossus stunned the sport when he became world champion in late 2015, beating Wladimir Klitschko on points in an epic bout.
But he relinquished his WBO and WBA world heavyweight belts in October 2016 to concentrate on recovery from mental health issues, whilst being plagued by drug allegations and concern over his 'homophobic and sexist' views.
When did he last fight?
FURY last stepped into the ring in Dusseldorf against Klitschko, way back in November 2015.
After a brutal bout, Klitschko's reign of nearly 10 years was ended as Fury took the fight by unanimous decision (116–111, 115–112, 115–112).
A rematch was scheduled for 2016 but Fury dropped out twice, because he was deemed 'medically unfit' to box.
There were reports that he had failed a drugs test the day before he pulled out of the fight - and in October relinquished his belts in an emotional press conference.
Has Fury retired?
BEFORE Christmas 2016, Peter Fury announced that Tyson would aim to return to boxing in 2017 - with a possible bout against Deontay Wilder on the cards.
But the British Boxing Board of Control - who had suspended Fury in October - rejected the date put forward and their General Secretary Robert Smith revealed they had heard nothing from the Gypsy King since the ban.
In July, Fury wrote on his Instagram: "been very blessed in my life & career achieve the upmost in boxing, was a epic journey along the way. Thanks to all the fans that supported & believed in me along the way,
"Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. THE END."
But fast forward to September and he's changed his tune again, writing on September 19: '"How long must I be held up and kept out of action?"
"Clear my name and let me return to my former glory. I'm innocent, set me free!"
Ukad refused to comment on his ongoing case, adding there is no timescale for its investigation - so a return to the ring doesn't look likely anytime soon.
Is he married and does he have any children?
FURY married Paris, who he had been with since they were teenagers, in 2009 and the couple have spoken openly about having 10 children together.
In December they welcomes their fourth child - a little girl named Valencia Amber.
They have three other children - Venezuela, Prince John James and Prince Tyson Fury II.
