BOXER Tyson Fury has celebrated the birth of his third child.

The unbeaten heavyweight champ, who trains in Bolton and nicknames himself The Gypsy King, welcomed son Tyson Luke Fury into the world at Lancaster Hospital on Friday. (July 15)

Fury, aged 27, posted a snap on social media of himself with his wife and their newborn in the maternity ward.

He wrote: "Finally got him, I'm so blessed, my boy. Prince Tyson Fury the Second."

His wife said on Twitter their son was born 10 days early and weighed 7lb 7oz.

The child is the couple's third after eldest son Prince John James and daughter Venezuela.

Wythenshawe-born Fury owns the Team Fury gym in the Platinum Community Centre in the old Robin Hood pub in Halliwell Road, Halliwell.

He is due to fight Wladimir Klitschko in Germany on October 24 as the mandatory challenger for the WBA heavyweight title.

The match was re-scheduled from July 9 after Fury picked up a calf injury during training.
