Tyson Fury, renowned as a world heavyweight champion in boxing, has a voice that resonates as much as his victories in the ring. His husky and unique voice has become a notable part of his persona. However, this distinctive vocal quality wasn’t always how Fury sounded.
The 35-year-old boxer, often seen serenading crowds with his singing after his boxing triumphs, revealed that his voice underwent a transformation due to an unexpected incident. Despite his retirement announcement in April, Fury eventually decided to make a comeback to the boxing arena.
During an appearance on Hits Radio, Fury shared an intriguing tale that sheds light on his voice change. He recounted an incident involving a sparring partner named Ty, who delivered a punch to Fury’s throat. This punch led to a rather unforeseen consequence – Fury developed a blood clot in his throat.
Reflecting on the experience, Fury humorously stated, ‘Ever since then, I now sound like my dad.’ His father, John Fury, is known for his distinctive gravelly voice, which Tyson now somewhat resembles.

Interestingly, Fury’s voice used to be quite different. His wife, Paris Fury, described his ‘old’ voice as ‘soft and delicate.’ A glimpse into this past version of Tyson’s voice can be heard in his inaugural press conference from 2008, which resurfaced recently. The transformation of his voice since then has been a subject of curiosity and interest.
In his characteristic playful manner, Tyson playfully quipped, ‘A lot of people find it sexy, this voice.’ While his voice may have changed due to a punch that took an unexpected turn, it has now become an integral part of his identity. The fusion of his boxing prowess, charismatic personality, and unique voice has only added to the enigma that is Tyson Fury.
From championships to challenges, and even the surprising voice change, Tyson Fury’s story continues to unfold with its own set of surprises and triumphs.
