Tyson Fury's voice before it was permanently damaged from punch is really weird to hear

The boxer's voice changed after he was left with a blood clot in a sparring incident

If you're a fan of Tyson Fury then chances are you're pretty familiar with what his voice sounds like these days, but that only makes hearing his 'original' voice all the more bizarre.

For most people, their 'original' voice is all they have. But then again, most people haven't been punched in the throat so hard that it forever changes the way they sound.

Tyson Fury and his family are now the stars of a Netflix series.

Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened to Fury just a few years ago, when he faced off against a man called Ty who 'punched [him] in the throat' while sparring.

"It ended up getting a blood clot in my throat, and ever since then, I now sound like my dad," The Gypsy King explained during an interview with Hits Radio.

The 'husky' voice Fury was left with is very different to the one he had before the sparring incident, as is made clear in resurfaced footage of his first TV interview.

The interview was recorded in 2008, and shows Fury discussing his talents as a boxer.

Speaking to the interviewer, he said: "Not being big-headed or anything, but my trainer always says like as soon as I walked in the gym, he knew I had big potential and he knew I was good.

"I've always been quite good, you know?"

Fury went on to explain how he was born seven weeks premature, and after he arrived into the world, the doctor apparently told his dad: "He's here, but he's not very strong, and he's not very big."

Now 35-years-old, Fury has definitely become both very strong and very big.

He previously spoke about his changing voice in 2021, when he appeared in an interview on the YouTube series The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani.

"It wasn't always like this though, this isn't my original voice," he said.

"If you go back and look at interviews from like 2010 onwards right up until about 2016, I didn't have this voice.

"One of my good friends, Ty Mitchell... We were sparring and he hit me in the throat real hard and I developed a blood clot in my throat.

"It messed around with my vocal words so this is why I talk like this now... Some would say it's quite sexy, I've been told."

After watching Fury's first interview, one baffled viewer commented: "Lmao, his whole look and voice and everything has since changed. It's crazy!"

Fury has since retired from boxing, but fans can, of course, still get their fill of his voice in his new Netflix series, At Home With The Furys.
