With his baby girl Athena set to be discharged from the hospital after spending a number of days in intensive care, WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) announces that he will be back in training for his trilogy fight against Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) from Wednesday.
Athena, who is the third daughter and sixth child of Tyson and Paris Fury, was put on a ventilator due to complications and was even pronounced dead for three minutes before the doctors were able to revive and get the baby back to life.
She had been cared for in Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool, which inspired the world champion boxer to launch a fundraiser across Instagram and GoFundMe, which has now made over £40,000.

With getting Athena back home, Fury to resume training for Wilder trilogy in October
Now, the “Gypsy King” is expecting to get his girl back home on Wednesday, at the same time when the Briton will resume his training for his upcoming third encounter against Wilder on 9th October.
“We’re hoping to God that the baby gets out of hospital on Wednesday and I can start training for the big dosser Deontay Wilder”, said Fury on Twitter, “that gives me about seven-and-a-half weeks which is more than enough for a mug like that.”
The trilogy became a reality after many speculations and back and forth involving the teams associated with two superstar pugilists. From his previous target, an undisputed heavyweight championship clash against unified champion Anthony Joshua, Fury had to make his focus right back on former rival Wilder following the ‘Bronze Bomber’ won the arbitration case for the trilogy bout.
The fight ended up being originally targeted on 24th July at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, after Fury had tested positive for COVID-19 on the heels of refusing to take the second dosage of the vaccine, the fight had gone into uncertain territories.
At the same time, some think that the postponement was not a result of of Fury contracting the virus, something that believed to be always a stunt by many, as he was seen in a casino during his recovery. and that the postponement is due to the possible better PPV buys in October.
Nonetheless, ever since the date and place have been determined for the trilogy, Fury has been eager to take on ‘Big Dosser’ Wilder.
