Tyson Fury's sons' names

I have vaguely heard of Tyson Fury but today I read an article about him in The Mail (I know!). He has 5 children and 3 are boys all named Prince!

I mean how can they all have the same name? I assume they have nicknames at home but even so what is the point of naming them all the same. It's just totally weird and really seems rather stupid

I did wonder if there was a Prince something to differentiate them - Prince Michael, William and Harry, but apparently it’s just Prince x 3.

I agreed with him vs his wife on the educational front.

Tyson Fury said women belonged on their backs or in the kitchen.

I couldn't give a shit what he calls his children but he's not a good man.

Knitwit99 · 21/02/2020 18:54

My sons just commented that they would quite like to have the same name because people get them mixed up so often. If they had the same name it would always be right.

No Sorrow but because he’s a nasty homophobic, anti-Semite amongst other things. He has interesting views about what will initiate the Apocalypse.

Pretentious. That's hilarious - the most unpretentious people you could meet. Gypsy culture means different names. I also know the family and they are lovely people.

Tyson Fury is a sexist, homophobic, antisemitic asshole. The following are all quotes from him. He is not cute.

–In a 2013 interview, Fury claimed that he would hang his sister if he deemed her to be promiscuous, and has said he believes that “a woman’s best place is in the kitchen and on her back”.

–“Everyone just do what you can, listen to the Government, follow everybody like sheep, be brainwashed by all the Zionist, Jewish people who own all the banks, all the papers all the TV stations. Be brainwashed by them all."

–"I stand up for my beliefs. My wife’s job is cooking and cleaning and looking after these kids, that’s it. She does get to make some decisions – what she’s gonna cook me for tea when I get home…"

–"][Fury] explained that he believes the legalisation of homosexuality and abortion are two of the “three things that need to be accomplished before the devil comes home”."

He can complain that he's sorry and he didn't mean it and it was all a game as much as he wants, but he said it. If he didn't believe it but said it for money, that might make it worse, not better. I hope he loses and loses badly.

@SidneyPrescott it’s a noble contender but nothing beats J’Majesty for me!

spanieleyes · 21/02/2020 18:57

Surely they are all called Prince because his "nickname" is The Gypsy King-therefore he said his sons were all princes! They have second names to distinguish them.

TSSDNCOP · 21/02/2020 18:57

But lovely salt of the earth homophobic anti-Semite I’m sure.

lostinleaves · 21/02/2020 18:57

Ridiculous idea and ridiculous name - I thought Prince was a dogs name?

Saucery · 21/02/2020 18:59

He’s a nasty, disturbed thug, but what he calls his dc is neither here nor there.

Patroclus · 21/02/2020 18:59

Hes a wankstain of the highest order.

"Jermaine Jackson’s son is called J’Majesty"

Isn't it Jermajesty?

Doesn't have quite the same ring to it!Grin

BumbleBree · 21/02/2020 19:00

Jermaines son is Jermajesty. He also has a Jaafar and other interesting names if anyone is looking for J names Grin

@steff13 Paris wants them to be raised as travellers and leave school at 11, and Tyson does not as he knows other travellers will follow his lead.

PickleMyPepper · 21/02/2020 19:01

I honestly cannot say a bad word about him after what I saw of that documentary.

Prince, Prince and Prince is a bit strange, but are you gonna argue with him?! ConfusedGrin

Saucery · 21/02/2020 19:01

He’s deluding himself if he thinks he can overturn centuries of tradition re schooling and gender roles in the traveller community. What an arse he is.

HJWT · 21/02/2020 19:04

As for the names it is normal gypsy culture, as Tyson says maybe one day one of them may take over his title of Gypsy King.

Honestly it is annoying! Seeing my DH's family is so confusing as they all have the same name's 🥴 children always get named after their parents and other close relatives... they were not very happy we only gave our children family middle names.

1forsorrow · 21/02/2020 19:04

No Sorrow but because he’s a nasty homophobic, anti-Semite amongst other things. He has interesting views about what will initiate the Apocalypse. Well that would be a better reason than his kids' names. I hadn't heard his views.

steff13 · 21/02/2020 19:04

Are you going to knock on his door and argue with him?

Yes. That's exactly what I planned to do. Do you have his address? It would make things so much easier for me. 🙄

I thought perhaps there were laws in the UK that required that children complete some sort of education beyond age 11.

ShesGotBetteDavisEyes · 21/02/2020 19:04

Ah i don’t like him any more!

Bowerbird5 · 21/02/2020 19:05

Both boys and girls are often out of formal education. The boys are often travelling with the fairground ( not in Tyson Fury’s case perhaps) and it is quite common for the boys to be given their own ride about this time. So they learn to be responsible for it rising early and making sure everything is ready. The boys are often very good at Maths as in adding up quickly. They sometimes find things like geometry more difficult.
A lot of the children are expected to help at an early age. The girls tend to leave about fourteen and by then have learnt cook and clean to a high standard but quite a few are now wanting more with a few wanting to go to university. Quite a few go into beauty as if they move they can still do this.

shinynewapple2020 · 21/02/2020 19:07

Those saying that TF seems to come across as a nice bloke really need to google a bit of his back history - see @Nancydrawn's post.

ShesGotBetteDavisEyes · 21/02/2020 19:08

Also did you hear his dad moaning about “people whispering” about him when he walks into a pub? Doing a “poor me - everyone’s prejudiced against me” act?

Yeah mate, maybe it’s because you did 11 years inside for gouging a mans eye out with your fingers!!

wonderstuff · 21/02/2020 19:08

I think the DM is being quite disingenuous with its captioning. Traveller boys often have common names different to their christened name.
