Tyson Fury and his wife Paris Fury have four boys – and they decided to give all four the same first name. But the reason might not be what you think.

At first glance, “At Home with the Furys” looks like your typical larger-than-life family reality show. But one detail quickly stands out: all four of Tyson Fury’s sons have the exact same first name.

The heavyweight champion shares seven children with Paris Fury – four boys and three girls, ranging in age from 16 down to two. Their sons are Prince John James, 15; Prince Tyson II, 9; Prince Adonis Amaziah, 7, and Prince Rico Paris, 2. Their daughters are Venezuela, 16, Valencia, 8, and Athena, 4.

But even though the boys all share the same first name, it’s their middle names that are used most often.

Now, naming your child isn’t necessarily the easiest task. You want something you like – and something they’ll feel comfortable with as they grow up. Giving four of your children the same first name, however, isn’t exactly the usual route.

So why do it?

Tyson Fury’s children

Tyson didn’t overcomplicate the explanation when asked about the decision, and explained that it refers to his nickname “The Gypsy King”.

“I’m a king, and they’re princes until they earn their rightful name,” he said, according to Tyla.

What that “rightful name” actually means – and when they’ll earn it – is still anyone’s guess.

In fact, their eldest son was actually almost called Patrick – or, in Tyson’s preferred version, something slightly more controversial: “Jesus Fury. I like that name. A lot of Mexicans are called Jesus,” he said.

Paris wasn’t having it.

“That got a quick no from me.”

The second season of At Home with the Furys dropped on Netflix on April 12, with 10 episodes – and it’s already been renewed for a third.
