The teenager says he 'loves' being a FuryJohnboy Fury has popped up on At Home With The Furys and described Tyson as a “another father” – but who is he?
The teenager makes his first appearance in episode 3 of the new series of the hit Netflix show.
He is seen joining Tyson, his dad John and 14-year-old son Prince on a road trip to Scotland, alongside a host of their male traveller pals.
Johnboy is quick to sing the praises of two-time World Heavyweight champion Tyson. But who is he and how are they related?
Who is Johnboy Fury in At Home With The Furys?
Johnboy pops up in At Home With The Furys when Tyson organises a boys’ trip from John O’Groats in Scotland to Lands End in Cornwall (which later ends up just as a trip around Scotland).
The teenager sits alongside Tyson’s dad, John, in the front of the car. Tyson is following behind in his old VW Passat, with his son Prince, 14.
Tyson says: “People on this trip.. we’ve got Big John and Little John, who are grandson and grandad.”
For those who missed it, he then briefly explained: “Johnboy is my nephew. He’s an avid boxer and has been boxing a couple of years.

“Johnboy’s a very good lad. He’s not interested in girls or going out with the friends. He’s only interested in boxing.”
Johnboy’s father is believed to be Tyson’s brother Shane. Tyson has five brothers and the teenager says he “loves being a Fury”.
“I would say I get on pretty well with my grandad. He’s a stand up man,” Johnboy explains. “If he thinks something about you, then he’ll say it.
“Being a Fury, I love it. Tyson is like another father to me really. I aspire to be a boxer like Tyson some day. Next Heavyweight champion of the world, here I come.”

Does Johnboy Fury have an Instagram account?
Johnboy has recently set up an Instagram account. Like his cousin Prince, he has already left school and spends his days training in the boxing ring.
His bio reads: “The next legend, in gods name you will be saved. Joshua 1:9: Mathew 19:26 Romans 8:18. If you believe then you will succeed.”
Comparing himself to his cousin, he said their “upbringing is the same”. But he explains how he lives in a trailer, unlike Prince.
“We eat, we sleep and we train. It’s all we ever do,” Johnboy says. “Apart from him living in a mansion and I live in a trailer on the ground. That’s it!”
Johnboy currently has more than 48,000 followers on Instagram. His pictures feature all of the famous Fury family members, including former Love Island star Tommy Fury – Tyson’s brother, and another of Johnboy’s uncles.
Johnboy was snapped on the red carpet at Tyson’s most recent fight, which was streamed globally on Netflix.
In his most recent post, Johnboy has joined Tyson, Paris and their seven kids in a celebratory video after At Home With The Furys reached Number 1 on Netflix.
