Tyson Fury: Born three months premature.
Added DiffLines:
* In 1988, John and Amber Fury, an UsefulNotes/{{Irish Traveller|s}} couple living in England, welcomed a son into the world three months prematurely. The couple had previously lost two prematurely born daughters, and doctors had told the couple that their son wasn't likely to make it either. His father, perhaps sensing a fighting spirit in his son, named him after Creator/MikeTyson, then the world heavyweight boxing champion. Little Tyson not only survived, but ended up a ''6'9"/206 cm'' giant who himself became a world heavyweight champion.
