At Home With The Furys is a missed opportunity to explore the boxer’s Christian faith

Tyson Fury is a world champion boxer and an outspoken - if often controversial - Christian. So Tim Bechervaise was keen to see how his faith would be portrayed in the new Netflix docuseries that follows the family in the aftermath of Fury’s retirement from professional sport

When Tyson Fury comes out on top, he’s a very happy man – both in the ring and, now, on Netflix.

The undefeated heavyweight boxing champion was thrilled to announce to his six million Instagram followers over the weekend that At Home With The Furys, the Netflix docuseries that follows him and his family after his retirement, is number one on the streaming service, just 48 hours after being released.

I am no boxing fan, but I was intrigued to watch the series because I find Fury fascinating. He comes from a traveller background (hence his stage name ‘the Gypsy King’) and has never lost a professional boxing match. The larger than life character has overcome addiction, is open about his mental health problems and fans adore him. Oh, and he’s a Christian - with the odd, controversial outspoken view.
