John James has been training for two years
His brothers Tommy and Roman are also unbeaten while cousin James Dean is set to turn professional after a successful amateur career.
And now there could be yet another Fury to look out for - Tyson's 13-year-old son John James.
Fury posted a video on his Instagram, talking to his boy, and he says: "Today's the day you become part of the family business, son."
John James replied: "What kind of business is that?"

Fury revealed in 2023 how John James and his younger brother John James, eight, were both training.
He said at the time: "Yes, I've got my oldest son who's 11 and my middle son who's six - they both are in the boxing gym right now.
"They're in training, they're starting, only young, kids having fun in the gym and all that.

"If they want to pursue it as a career later on in life then I'm fully supportive.
"Because who am I to tell somebody not to do something, not to follow their dreams?

"I don't believe in crushing kids' dreams because I was once a kid with a massive dream.
"I had an unreachable dream and everybody told me that it was a stupid idea, you're probably not gonna make it, you're gonna waste your life, you're gonna have nothing at the end of it.
"I didn't believe any of them and I followed my dreams, followed my heart and here I am today. I'm living proof that dreams do come true.
"With hard work, dedication, being in the right place at the right time, the right mindset, and a lot of other stuff as well, dreams do come true for sure."
Fury, 36, has plenty of time to train his boys after announcing his retirement in January.
It came after he twice lost on points to Oleksandr Usyk, 38, in 2024.
And despite training twice, sometimes THREE times a day, Fury spoke out to reiterate his retirement amid talk of returning to fight Anthony Joshua, 35.
He said while on holiday with wife Paris in Italy: 'I hear a lot of talk about the Gypsy King returning to boxing and I ask this question: for what?
'What would I return for? More belts? I've won 22 of them. I've been rumped, that's it, fair play to them, they got their use out of me.
'But I'm happy, I am happy, content with what I have achieved and accomplished.
'I've been around the world and back again. And this is what retirement looks like for the Gypsy King, not too shabby.'

Wanderlust exhibition by West Monmouth School pupils
The Wanderlust exhibition, currently on display in Cardiff Bay, features photographs and poems created by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller pupils from West Monmouth School in Pontypool. The exhibition is sponsored by Torfaen MS Lynne Neagle, a long-time supporter of the school's Traveller Unit. Ms Neagle said: "I understand this exhibition first came about following discussions with Torfaen Museum that highlighted that the Traveller community were not among visitors to the museum, so they came up with the idea of doing an exhibition of the traveller community. "Art has to speak to people's lives otherwise it is not relevant." The exhibition, held at The Futures Gallery in the Pierhead, will be open until Thursday, August 28. Ms Neagle said: "I was really proud to sponsor the amazing display of photographs and poems by the pupils and to support the excellent work of the Traveller Education Service at West Mon school." The exhibition uses portraits, documentary-style photographs and poetry to explore and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of the Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller communities in Torfaen. The project aims to challenge stereotypes and promote greater understanding through creative expression. Pupils developed their work in collaboration with photographer Jon Pountney, photography graduate David Harrhy, and poet Patrick Jones. The Pierhead will also open on Sundays during the summer holidays, starting from July 20.

Joining presenter Jordan North on Capital Breakfast this week, the Dance Moms star said: "You know what's interesting? As hectic as life is, and as much as that noise goes on, I feel like Christopher and I discovered this beautiful house together. "And this house is earthquake proof, and it's fireproof, and bulletproof. "And you know, we discovered this house and found the keys, and we took the keys and locked ourselves in, and now it's like... You know what I mean? I feel like that with myself, I feel like that with him." Jordan then quizzed JoJo on whether she had found her 'happy place' with Chris. The US star gushed: "Oh my god, absolutely! We're having the best time. He's just the best! "I was saying this to my parents the other day. Like, I'm decently nice; he makes me look like I'm mean! "And I'm like known for being nice, that's the thing. People say to me, 'Oh, you're so nice'. "He makes me we want to be nicer, because he's such a nice human. He's the best egg in the batch!

Yesterday JoJo said she is "shocked" at how close the pair have them have become in such a short amount of time. Speaking to Billboard, JoJo said: "It blows my mind that 30 days ago I would never have even imagined that I would be friends with Chris Hughes, that's the weirdest thing, much less be one of the closest people too me now in my life who I would die for. "I think its a combination of the shared experience but also in Big Brother, you have no phone, no outside communication, no distraction, nothing. "You only have each other. I love connecting and I love people and when someone comes into your life and you enjoy it, you can tell." LOVED-UP TRIP JoJo's interview comes fresh from a cosy weekend she spent with Chris and his family in the Cotswolds. The YouTuber shared their time together on social media, which included a series of loved-up snaps with the Love Island hunk. In one of the snaps, Chris could be seen picking his girlfriend up and carrying her, whilst in another they held hands. JoJo described holding her boyfriend's hand as "the one thing that can make everything better". She also shared pictures of the pair enjoying breakfast and cups of tea as she relaxed at Chris' family home. MISSING HER MAN JoJo, who fell for Chris in the Celebrity Big Brother house, said she struggled to go back to normal life without Chris when she returned to the US for a month. But now the American star, who hails from Nebraska, plans to spend more time in the UK. The couple also spent time together when JoJo was in England for her tour. The happy couple drove fans wild with an intimate backstage moment in a post to TikTok when the pair were seen hugging each other, holding hands and putting bracelets on each other. 4 JoJo spent a cosy weekend with Chris and his family in the Cotswold's at the weekend Credit: Instagram/Chris Hughes
