Despite being a multimillionaire, the British boxing champion has, for the most part, led a simple existence.

The Gypsy King is expected to win all the heavyweight marbles this weekend against Oleksandr Usyk, having already collected some of the largest purses in recent memory.
Fury has remained true to his roots even after participating in some of the biggest fights of his time and enjoying the opulent benefits of his profession.
And he has two homes in the little town of Morecambe, where those origins are deeply ingrained.
Fury and his large family, which consists of seven children, resided in a modest home before relocating into a £1.7 million mansion in 2021.Zoopla claims that the Fury family owned a home with five bedrooms and four bathrooms that was valued at slightly over £550,000.
With nothing blatantly ostentatious on the outside or inside, the property was nothing like what you would imagine a multimillionaire to be living in.
Fury and his wife Paris were overjoyed to be living in their former home, even with their seemingly endless progeny and milliоns of dollars in the bank.
In an interview for a 2020 three-part ITV documentary, she said, “People ask me why I don’t live in America or California. Why would I?.
“Why would I leave my own nation in search of a little cash and some notoriety?
“I adore it. I’d never get out of Morecambe. It is genuinely beautiful.”All the houses here would be worth a million pounds if the weather was better.”
There were several memorials to Fury’s many victories inside the ring throughout his former residence.
The framed photo of him celebrating his incredible shоck victory against Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 is placed next to the titles he has won throughout his illustrious career.
Prior to moving to Morecambe in 2011, Fury lived in a caravan on his father John’s property.

In addition, the 35-year-old owns a collection of elegant vehicles that includes two Rolls Royces and a fully restored gypsy wagon.
Fury is just as excited to drive the wagon as he is to take any of his supercars for a spin after spending endless hours remodeling it.
“It’s real gold, gold leaf, all hand-painted,” he declared.
“The Gypsy code says you must travel towards the sun, so we keep the sun towards the back.”
Fury enjoys spending time with his children and helping out around the house when he’s not traveling the globe or competing against some of the world’s top heavyweights.
That is, all the household tasks that must be completed outside.
Last year, he stated to The Guardian, “It’s not 50/50.” Paris handles all of the household chores.
“I handle everything outside, and Paris takes care of everything inside the house.
“I pick up the dog poop, I run to school, and I do the bins.”
“I’m a pro at picking up dog poop. I adore it. I adore it to pieces!

When Fury gets back from his trip to Saudi Arabia, where he hopes to make history, the bins will be ready for him.
On Saturday night, the Wythenshawe warrior and the former pound-for-pound champion Usyk will square off to determine who will become the heavyweight division’s first undisputed champion in almost 25 years.
When he started his professional career 16 years ago, Fury dreamed of having all the belts around him. Now, he is desperate to make that dream come true.
He recently claimed to Sky Sports, “I said that as a young lad and I succeeded.
“I must be among the select few who had a childhood ambition and realized it as an adult.
“It’s been [an] amazing journey.”And now, sixteen years later, we’re going to be [the] world champion without a doubt.
“The biggest figҺt, in the last 25 years, which is an amazing effort.””
