00:10You
00:11Guys shush
00:13Right, Rico yours is in. Valencia you want toast. Adamus, do you want sugar on your eat a bit?
00:20No, you do
00:22Tina, what do you want for breakfast?
00:24I want breakfast!
00:25Right, you can have that one.
00:31It's Athena's first day of school. All the kids are going back to school so I'm going to have four
00:36in primary.
00:38And Rico gets to do a few hours at nursery in a few weeks.
00:42I will be home free.
00:46Freedom!
00:48Sorry, I shouldn't be so excited but...
00:51Goodbye little fuckers!
00:58Since Tyson's been home, he's up early. I'm not a morning person so he drops them off at school usually.
01:04But we're both going to take them today because I want to see me girl go in school and I
01:08want to walk away.
01:10This is yours Rico!
01:12Right mum, get a coffee and come and feed you.
01:17Hey Rico, do you want to go to school?
01:19I do have another one!
01:20Hi!
01:22Good boy!
01:23I probably am going to get a bad parent award but I do not feel emotionally distraught that Athena is
01:28going to school.
01:29I am just over the moon that, you know, another one down. One more in school.
01:32If you don't brush your teeth, you ain't going to school.
01:34No, I just watched you. Kick that toothbrush up and brush your teeth.
01:37I am also looking forward to guilty pleasures of a mother. Peace and quiet.
01:43Boys!
01:43Put your shoes on!
01:44Three, six, nine!
01:46Oh!
01:46Trash! Boys!
01:49Shut up!
01:50Mum, why does that happen if someone's hit me?
01:53If someone hits you, you go tell the teacher and then you tell your brothers.
02:01Have you got your shoes on, not Adonis's?
02:03Yes.
02:03Perfect timing.
02:05We need to go straight to the car because we're going to be late.
02:07They've got two minutes.
02:07I'm wet.
02:08It doesn't matter, you shouldn't have run me so late.
02:10You've been gone since half six.
02:11Oh, look me girl!
02:13First day of school!
02:14Dad!
02:14First day of school!
02:16Dad!
02:16First day!
02:17First day!
02:17First day of school!
02:19I'm looking forward to the kids to go back to school.
02:22Seven weeks is too long.
02:23And they're never in school.
02:25It's like every fucking month there's a holiday and a half term.
02:28Get in, get in.
02:28I want the first day of school picture.
02:30Smile then!
02:30I think seven weeks is a lifetime when you're at home, driving you mad.
02:34Oh my God!
02:36Watch out!
02:37It's a school girl!
02:39Right, everybody in the car!
02:40Come on!
02:41What the fuck is that?
02:42What the fuck is that?
02:43Oh, we're late.
02:44Are we late?
02:49It's going to be a sad day for me, this.
02:51My mouse boot, tiny baby girl, has now entered the schooling system.
02:55It's ridiculous, isn't it?
02:56Like how time flies, Paris.
02:58I'm sad.
02:58It's gone fast, ain't it?
02:59Very fast.
03:00When was the last time I cried?
03:02When Prince left nursery, wasn't it?
03:04Tyson is a really great dad.
03:06He'll get up, he'll do the school run.
03:07He likes that kind of clockwork.
03:09But I think it will be quiet in the house and I think that might give Tyson a bit of
03:13free time to think too much.
03:16It is something that I always am concerned about.
03:19All right, kiddos.
03:20Right, love yous!
03:21Have a fantastic day!
03:23I love ya!
03:24Yeah.
03:25Bye, Dad.
03:25Bye.
03:27Work hard!
03:28I'm gonna walk them in.
03:28Hurry up, then.
03:29I ain't hurrying, I've got to go and walk them in.
03:31Guys, run to your class wherever you're meant to be.
03:33Athena, you come with me.
03:34I don't know where I'm meant to be!
03:36Learning!
03:37The one thing I've learnt in my life, if nothing else, one thing I've learnt is cherish the time you
03:43have.
03:43And like, I'm in a better position than a lot of people because I can at least drop my kids
03:48off at school and pick them up.
03:49I feel like I'm a very successful person doing that.
03:52And when the school run finishes, it's gonna be difficult for me, that.
03:57Some people hate school runs, but it's a very vital part of my life.
04:02Beautiful.
04:03Beautiful bit of purpose and a beautiful bit of routine.
04:09Athena starts tomorrow.
04:11Nobody's in reception, Dad.
04:13What happened?
04:14Nobody!
04:14No one was there!
04:16Oh!
04:17There wasn't not one child in reception.
04:19It's tomorrow, Dad.
04:19Are you sad?
04:20No, she's not bothered.
04:24She gets one more day at home with her dad being a baby.
04:27Get off her!
04:28I love her!
04:34Oh, last night, Parrish, yeah?
04:36I was doing a bit of research and I was doing a bit of digging.
04:38Yeah?
04:39Yeah.
04:40And I'm...
04:41I'm thinking about buying a Scottish island.
04:46Just in case a zombie apocalypse breaks out or...
04:49Right.
04:50A war happens or something happens, like a mass disaster.
04:53Please don't get that far down the rabbit hole.
04:55No, I'm just thinking, like, it's always good to have somewhere to go, innit?
05:00Yes, but Tyson, if we die, we die.
05:03If the apocalypse of zombies come and get us, let them get us.
05:07When Tyson has these big brain ideas, sometimes I shut them down straight away.
05:12If it is something that could be a possibility, I will talk to him and if it's something I don't
05:16really believe will ever happen, I nod and smile and go, yeah, that's good, babe. Yeah, good idea.
05:21Oh, wait till Venezuela sees you!
05:24Ha-ha!
05:27Hey, Venezuela!
05:29Why?
05:30I just couldn't do it to her.
05:31I had to bring her home for you.
05:33She don't start today.
05:34Reception opens tomorrow.
05:36Oh, fuck me!
05:37I know!
05:48Let me do it for you.
05:51I'm the wife today.
05:54Sit down.
05:54We'll talk about this in a minute.
05:55No!
05:56Please sit down.
05:57What's the matter with him?
05:58He doesn't feel well.
05:59Oh.
05:59These tubes killing him.
06:00So I look at you.
06:01Fashionable?
06:02Yeah, pretty fashionable.
06:03You've got a 6am start, haven't you?
06:05I've got a 6am shoe.
06:07Oh, is it like a Good Morning Britain or something like that?
06:09I've got this morning, I've got back-to-back interviews.
06:12Alright.
06:13Cos this is all for promotion for this endorsement deal with the collagen brand.
06:17Okay, yeah.
06:18I've been asked for years to promote different brands and I've always refused.
06:23The scary clothes that they've got on all needs to go in the wash.
06:26But now that the kids are all going to school, going to play groups, doing their own thing, I feel
06:31like it's time to invest in something for me.
06:33So when are you back then?
06:34I'm back tomorrow night, but at like 10pm.
06:36Oh, tomorrow night?
06:37Yeah.
06:37So I'm literally gone for 24 hours.
06:39Okay.
06:40And you're leaving me with all the kids?
06:42Yeah, Venezuela's here as well though, but he's ill.
06:44He's got two feet.
06:46And I think Rico's coming down with a cold.
06:48Cos Rico's cried since picked him up from nursery.
06:50So...
06:50So you're leaving me with a load of good ones then?
06:52A load of sick ones.
06:52He'll cry all night.
06:53He needs his antibiotics.
06:55He's had it now.
06:55He needs another dose at 9 o'clock.
06:57I thought he's obsessed with gone.
06:59Yeah, but he's got two feet.
07:01Do you want to go and get sweets?
07:02No, yeah, buy him some sugar.
07:03No!
07:04Whoa!
07:05I do worry a little bit about Tyson watching the kids.
07:08He doesn't understand bedtime regime and eating at certain times,
07:14eating the right kind of food.
07:16Tyson's very chaotic in his parenting skills.
07:18Right.
07:19Listen to me.
07:20Take the watch off if you're going up London.
07:22And the diamond earrings, take them out.
07:24I've got me bag, but I've got...
07:25Don't take them.
07:26You'll get stabbed to pieces for a bag.
07:27Well, I'm going to have to be stabbed because I've got me bag.
07:29So I'm tired.
07:30Take a Tesco carrier bag.
07:32How come Prince is going with you?
07:33I don't want to go on my own.
07:35Okay.
07:35I don't like going on my own.
07:36Ma'am, you really got to go.
07:38Where's the boy?
07:39Prince!
07:39Prince!
07:40Prince!
07:41What, do you want a bottle?
07:42Prince!
07:43No, leave him, leave the baby alone.
07:44Please!
07:45Do you want to drink him out?
07:46Okay.
07:47Right, have a good trip then.
07:48Be careful.
07:49Watch what you're doing.
07:50Watch out for robbers.
07:51Prince, protect your man with your life.
07:53And if someone goes to stab her, jump in front, take the stab,
07:55get the knife out, stab him in the neck.
07:57Easy.
07:58Sure thing.
07:59Done.
08:00Right, love yous.
08:02Be good for your dad.
08:05It seems strange, me being the mother and Paris going out and getting the money.
08:17Oh!
08:18We're in the big boy house.
08:20Oh, hi everyone.
08:21Hi.
08:22Oh, so we, these are obviously the gift bags?
08:24Yeah.
08:24Oh, I'll have one of these.
08:26It looks amazing.
08:28I'm going to check out the room.
08:29Oh, that looks a bit comfy bed.
08:31There's a telly in the back.
08:32Me and my prince are cuddling tonight because my prince is only brand new.
08:35I'd rather sleep on the couch.
08:36You're not sleeping on the couch.
08:37You're sleeping for your mum.
08:38You're a brand new baby.
08:39No.
08:39I think it's good to let the kids see that you can be a stay at home wife and you
08:44can
08:44still work if you wish to.
08:46I know lots of strong, independent women from the travelling community that work.
08:51And even though in the media we're sort of portrayed as housewives that don't know anything,
08:56I'm just out here proving that it isn't true and I know many other successful travelling
09:00women that are out there doing work as well.
09:02This is a nice room.
09:04Look on your mirror in the bathroom.
09:06That is my slogan.
09:07Fill your cup first with alcohol and champagne.
09:12There's like 40 bottles of wine in the fridge.
09:14Why has Prince come anyway, not Venezuela?
09:17Venezuela didn't want to come because she knew there's going to be a ton of press here
09:20and obviously she's been getting a lot of interest in her relationship at the minute
09:24and she didn't want to.
09:25And she also said she'd work with Rico on that at home so it totally helped me.
09:28Yeah, it works for you.
09:29Yeah.
09:33Go and eat your food now.
09:41Are you missing your mum?
09:47Yeah.
09:50Standard that, isn't it?
09:51Standard.
09:53Valencia.
09:55Valencia.
09:56Sit here.
09:57Sit here.
09:58People think like an at home mother is so easy.
10:01She's gone easy life.
10:02Does what she wants to do.
10:04But I'm starting to realise it's quite a difficult thing.
10:07Come here now.
10:08Sparrow.
10:09It's mentally hard as well.
10:11I'd rather go fight 20 fights than do that.
10:15Hey, Spider-Man!
10:19I want this has to be spotless.
10:26Sweet and forth, I'm wiping checks.
10:30I just can't sit down and have peace with all the rest.
10:37What the heck?
10:37Me dad's a millionaire.
10:39And here I am cleaning at seven years old.
10:54I slept well.
10:56It is way more chill to be in work mode.
10:59This face is a lot less stressed than the face you see back in Morecambe.
11:03Even the work side of it isn't nowhere near as stressful as dealing with the five kids.
11:09So this is a bit of a mini break for me.
11:12Venezuela!
11:13Hello!
11:14What?
11:14Put the tally on for it!
11:15I am!
11:17Don't get your hair done, Donny.
11:18Let's get some breakfast.
11:19Mum!
11:24Morning!
11:27Look at the state of you.
11:29How's it going?
11:31Is all the kids all done?
11:32Alright, let's go with me, Mum!
11:34Hey, Vico!
11:37We need a haircut!
11:39Oh, Tyson!
11:40Give him his antibiotics!
11:41Already there, love.
11:42Already there.
11:43Was Rico alright last night?
11:45Yeah.
11:45Was he asking for me?
11:46No, he never asked for you, not though.
11:48Oh, that's heart-broken.
11:49Are you watching this morning?
11:51Yeah, we're gonna watch it, yeah.
11:53Okey-dokey.
11:54Well, I think it is.
11:55We've got it all under control.
11:56Alright, go on.
11:57Have a good date.
11:57See you when you get back.
11:58See you soon.
11:59Okay, bye.
12:00Love you guys.
12:02I think they've got it under control.
12:03Shockingly.
12:05I think he'd sink very fast if Venezuela hadn't stayed.
12:10Right.
12:10I'm gonna drop the kids off at school.
12:12If you just give us a little wipe round the kitchen, wipe the teaching table.
12:16Beds are done, aren't they?
12:17Bath frames are done.
12:17House is clean.
12:18How's that sound?
12:19Yeah.
12:20Yes!
12:25Come on, then.
12:26Let's go.
12:26Come on, my prince.
12:28Why am I holding these backwards shoes?
12:30Because I need to bring them.
12:31I didn't know that was a bathroom.
12:32Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
12:33We're running late.
12:36How are you?
12:37I'm good, thank you.
12:41Morning.
12:41How are you?
12:42Nice to see you.
12:43You look incredible.
12:44So do you.
12:45Have you just come here for a rest, essentially?
12:47Honestly, I really said that this morning.
12:48That's exactly what I said.
12:49I said, look at me.
12:50Like, I had a full night's sleep.
12:51I got up this morning.
12:52Had her hair and makeup done.
13:03Hello there.
13:04Welcome back.
13:04In just a moment, she's known as the Gypsy Queen, Paris Fury.
13:08Where am I?
13:11Paris, I've just got to take my hat off to you.
13:14I do not know how you do it with seven children.
13:17Who's that?
13:19Mum!
13:20Yay!
13:21What's the secret?
13:22I think you include Tyson.
13:24100%.
13:24The biggest child of the world.
13:25How do you look after yourself?
13:27I have to look after myself.
13:29At the moment, I've been taking eternal collagen for the last few months.
13:32It's a brand that I'm endorsing at the moment.
13:34How's Tyson doing mentally at the moment?
13:36Yeah, he's not bothered about the fucking collagen.
13:38Yeah, absolutely.
13:40Yeah, that's nice.
13:41How's Tyson?
13:41Is he contemplating getting back in the ring ad from your perspective?
13:45He teases with it on the regular.
13:47And he says, you know, I'm always contemplating.
13:48I'm just taking on offers.
13:49I'm just thinking about it.
13:51And it always worries me when I says that.
13:52Because he's promised me he's going to stay retired.
13:54But I don't quite feel that he's 100% there.
13:59So it's got to watch this.
14:01Watch this space.
14:01Watch this space.
14:02It's always watch this space.
14:03Carson could get 55 and be watch this space.
14:06I don't find it a problem when people want to talk to me about Tyson,
14:10about my children, because that is me.
14:12I am them, they are me.
14:13We are one big unit, and that's how it always is.
14:16Thank you for coming in to see us and the best to the whole clan.
14:19Thank you so much.
14:20You're welcome.
14:23She did well, didn't she?
14:24Yeah, very good.
14:25She definitely looks very good on there.
14:27And she talks very good as well.
14:30So she does a good job.
14:31She's got all the babies today, Dad.
14:33So that'll be going well then?
14:34No.
14:46Thank you all for coming, and please take back a goodie bag.
14:52I'm going to go and see you by princess.
14:54Sorry, guys.
14:55Sorry.
14:56Sorry.
14:56I'm just going to check my boy's okay.
15:00Have you said hello to princess yet?
15:03Do you want to come down and meet everyone?
15:04Sure.
15:04Oh, do you not?
15:06Because I'd rather you didn't if you're going to stand there and go, yeah.
15:08I would like to get a photo of you in Prince and Princess.
15:11I've only ever in my life met two people called Princess, and one of them was a dog.
15:16Come on, Prince.
15:18I know their ages don't match up, but come on, Prince and Princess.
15:21If we could get that down right now and say them two's going to end up, that would be so
15:25cute.
15:25Oh, Princess.
15:26This is Prince.
15:27He's only 14 at the minute, but you could marry the Prince and the Princess.
15:31Is his actual name Prince?
15:33His actual name's Prince.
15:34Really?
15:34Yeah.
15:37He's having a full allergic reaction.
15:38Give me me phone for a minute.
15:39Can I get a phone for a view?
15:41Stand together quick.
15:42I actually don't know what to say.
15:44Me mum's a complete and utter mental case.
15:48Am I being an embarrassing mum?
15:50Yeah, sure.
15:50Sorry.
15:51Can't help it.
15:55It's all right.
15:56I'll leave you alone now.
15:57I won't torture me or more.
15:58You're banking.
15:59It's nice to meet you.
16:01That's it.
16:01Just keep it in back of your mind.
16:06You know, I really enjoyed it.
16:08I enjoyed having my Prince there and taking the time with him.
16:12Which brings me back to just being a mum.
16:13I can't help it.
16:14Yeah.
16:15It was a great successful trip.
16:17He's gone.
16:18He's gone.
16:18Bye.
16:32When I'm not busy, I'm all over the place.
16:35Cash.
16:36Come on.
16:39Sometimes I get caught up with me.
16:42Simple routine of getting up early and going to the gym, dropping the kids off.
16:45And by the time I've looked, I've been doing the same thing for six months.
16:50And it just becomes boring.
16:52I don't think you love your daddy.
16:55You do.
16:56You do, don't you?
16:58I've had him a long time now.
16:59I love him.
16:59He's me boy.
17:00He is a cutie pie.
17:01He's got a big head.
17:02He just loves his dad.
17:04Do you know what I mean?
17:05Yeah.
17:06Yeah.
17:06This is what he loves.
17:07Just cuddles like this.
17:08Strokes.
17:10And if you let him go, he just wants to lick you and drool all over you.
17:13There's nothing more pure than an animal's love for a human.
17:19Do you know what I mean?
17:20I think it's more the connection.
17:22Like the animal's love, like how an animal loves their owners.
17:26How happy they are when they see them and when you come back.
17:29Like when he goes away, he gets social anxiety.
17:31He's definitely like his dad's boy.
17:34A nice little date off on dinner.
17:38Mam life.
17:39Big handbag.
17:40Always bring the nappy and wipes.
17:43Cash!
17:45In your can.
17:46In your can.
17:47Good boy.
17:52It's not nice weather.
17:54It's not nice.
17:56I'm ready Eddie.
18:03What is it me boy?
18:04Dad sits in there.
18:06He sits in there Dad.
18:08He's talking to you.
18:08Yeah, good boy.
18:09That hat looks no good with what you're wearing.
18:12That's better.
18:14Say beach.
18:17Say ice cream.
18:19Do you want some sweets?
18:21Yeah.
18:22Yeah?
18:23Do you want to sit outside?
18:29What's going on?
18:30You seem like your head's a bit all over the place.
18:32Being young, rich and good looking is just not enough for me.
18:35You're making a joke of it Tyson.
18:36Oh, I'm being serious.
18:37Lately all you're doing is running, running, running.
18:40Training, training, training.
18:41Training, training, training.
18:42Yeah.
18:42You're talking about boxing, not boxing.
18:43You're doing this, you're doing that.
18:44I need a little bit of something more.
18:46I'm in a very low place at the moment.
18:49I don't know if I'm coming or going.
18:51One minute I'm happy, the next minute I'm sad.
18:54Very erratic behaviour.
18:56Running round and looking at stuff I don't need and trying to buy islands and Scotland and stuff.
19:01Is that the behaviour of a mentally ill person?
19:03Maybe, I don't know.
19:04I can't differentiate anymore.
19:06Wanting to buy an island off Scotland?
19:08Yeah.
19:09Give me two seconds because otherwise I feel like I'm just not even listening to you.
19:12I'm just like that.
19:13You usually don't listen to me.
19:14I do.
19:15Tyson, don't start this shit again.
19:16Do you want to come and sit near me?
19:17Oh look, he wants out.
19:18That's what he wants.
19:19Let him out then.
19:20Let him sit near me.
19:21He's had lollipops.
19:22He's had candy floss.
19:26Is this your candy floss?
19:28Can I have it?
19:30He's got it.
19:31He's got it.
19:32He's got it.
19:32He's got it.
19:33He's got it.
19:33He's got it.
19:35Lay on mum's knee.
19:36Lay on mum's knee.
19:37Lay down.
19:38The kids being off school has not helped me at all.
19:40No routine.
19:41They stuck away in my routine.
19:43And yeah, I need that back in my life.
19:44So yeah, now they've come back to school, I feel a little bit better.
19:47But I think I need to get away.
19:49Because at the minute, nothing can make me happy.
19:52And I just don't feel fulfilled.
19:54I'm not sure.
19:55You should be fulfilled though, shouldn't you?
19:56I am.
19:56I'm happy with my financial aspect and business side of stuff.
20:01However, I just don't know.
20:03I feel like I've got a lot more living to do.
20:05I'm not ready to just roll over and die.
20:07Just because you've stopped boxing doesn't mean you're going to roll over and die.
20:10Now I've stopped that, I need something new to focus on.
20:13Something astronomical, something unreachable.
20:15Because I'm never going to be happy being a stay at home dad or just some guy who rolls around
20:20in a Rolls Royce all day.
20:21It's not going to make me happy.
20:24I don't think Tyson will ever find peace.
20:27I mean, even when he's been the world champion, he won back in 2015, was his highest of highs.
20:32He had completed everything he ever wanted.
20:35And that's when he took the most manic depression he'd ever had.
20:38Oh, look where you go, sausage!
20:39Tyson will busy himself.
20:41But I think when it all strips back and it's just him, he just has these demons that just won't
20:47let him rest.
20:49I think he can be contented for a day.
20:51He can be contented for a few days.
20:53But then when his mind starts to tick again, he starts thinking of what else and that's just him.
21:00Anything you've looked into before, you're not interested in are you?
21:03Maybe take a pilot's licence or a helicopter driver or something.
21:05Do something like that and you'll end up dead in a plane somewhere.
21:08I'll have a good think about it and see where I want to go because at the minute I'm just
21:11pissing in the wind.
21:13Well, the last time you was like this, you ended up in a bad way.
21:16Yeah.
21:17Ended up in depression.
21:19Yeah.
21:19So, obviously.
21:20Well, at least I've still got my training.
21:21The last time I ended up like this was, I never trained in two years.
21:25And I was drinking and taking drugs and partying and messing around.
21:28Yeah, but the problem...
21:29Where now, I'm not drinking, I'm not doing anything.
21:31Just training every day like a Trojan, ready for my next job.
21:34Being addicted to training isn't healthy because you're running your legs into the ground.
21:38I know, tell me about it.
21:39Last week you couldn't even walk the amount of running your job.
21:41I know, yeah.
21:42But that leads me to this next one.
21:46I start to have a problem with my shoulder.
21:47It's a torn rotator cuff.
21:48It's killing me.
21:49Yeah.
21:50I've seen you in the gym.
21:50I've seen you not be able to move.
21:52Yeah.
21:53I couldn't do 10 kilos with my head on the right side and I couldn't do my pull up.
21:57Yeah.
21:57It's agony when I left a child.
21:58Sorry.
21:59I got my appointment on Saturday to see if my shoulders can be operated on or whatever.
22:03See what the problem is because obviously...
22:05Are you really seriously thinking about getting an operation?
22:06I've got to have it.
22:07There's no thinking about it.
22:08I've got to.
22:09Do you not think they could scan it and tell you, oh listen, you know what, it's actually
22:11not that bad and we could do some physio or something on it?
22:13No, I know it's been torn for at least five years since Deontay Wilder 2.
22:19It's got worse and worse and worse.
22:21Yeah.
22:21Now it's unbearable.
22:23I've had this torn rotator for a long time now and every fight that I've had I've just
22:27been injecting in training camp and then you just mask it, mask it, mask it, tape, tape,
22:31tape, tape, tape, tape until it gets to a point where it's completely fucked.
22:37Excuse me French.
22:39The good side to it all is, when it's fixed, it's fixed.
22:43See, when you do a wrist though, I don't think you're fixing it just for to do a ten kilo
22:46weight.
22:47What I'm taking on?
22:50Boxing.
22:52I need it done with or not, so...
22:54But you survived by view with it being damaged anyway.
22:57But the damage is more now, more than ever.
23:00Listen, all operations are dangerous so if you're just doing this for boxing...
23:03No, no, this is for my life.
23:06If I think about it.
23:07I don't think there's nothing to think about.
23:09I think boxing's finished and I think it's like you said a minute ago, try and think
23:12of something new to do.
23:34get in the very back seat, Tyson in the very back seat.
23:38Good boy, I love you.
23:41Hiya, Dennis!
23:43Here comes the big GK.
23:45Here comes the big GK.
23:47Today is the weekend, so the kids are all off school, but Tyson has a hospital appointment
23:52to see what the deal is with his shoulder.
23:55So the kids will have to come with us.
23:57Tyson don't like doctors and hospitals.
23:59He wasn't really the type of family to go all the time.
24:00He was very old-fashioned and they just sort of didn't do doctors a lot.
24:04So when he goes to doctors and hospitals he gets a bit apprehensive.
24:09I don't know.
24:09Apparently shall I just go on my own?
24:12It'll be easier.
24:13You called me last night.
24:15I was born with you, Tyson.
24:16Don't try and meet Mr. Brave.
24:17I need emotional, physical...
24:18Don't try and meet Mr. Brave.
24:19You're not listening.
24:20Yeah.
24:20I need emotional, physical support.
24:22Okay.
24:22Physical.
24:24Okay.
24:25Emotional.
24:26Support.
24:27Support.
24:31Right.
24:32He needs emotional.
24:33If I'm going to have some bad news, I need my wife there, who's always been there with
24:36me, I'll need my dad there as well, because I'm a little child still.
24:40I want to get Mackey's.
24:42He was running back Mackey's and I could be having a life-ending surgery, yeah?
24:45How's that life-ending?
24:46Life-ending?
24:46I could die until it opened at a night.
24:48Yeah.
24:49It does happen.
24:50Anesthetics very dangerous.
24:51Very dangerous.
24:52I'll be in the car.
24:55I don't know how Tyson would react if he got told he was never able to box again.
25:02He's boxing such a big part of his life.
25:04Even in his daily training, he trains, he boxes, that's what he does.
25:10So, I don't know what he'd feel like.
25:13I think Tyson really believes he could do whatever he wanted to do at any given moment.
25:18So, for him to go today and actually be told, hey, you can't box with this arm, you can't
25:24do that, I think it would bug him to the point of getting it corrected.
25:32I don't know about shoulder operation, I think I need two knee replacements.
25:36I'm absolutely battered.
25:38Hiya.
25:39You okay?
25:43Dad, you alright?
25:46I'd better have a coffee, innit?
25:48Kids, sit down, we're in a hospital.
25:49Get the kids out, Paris, please.
25:51Listen, leave them sit here, I'll sit here and then at least I can sit and listen.
25:54What do you want, a latte?
25:55Just give me a latte, yeah.
25:57What's brought all this on then?
25:58When I hit hooks or overhands, I can't throw them anymore.
26:02And if you look at me big knockouts, they've always come from a right up bang.
26:07Yeah?
26:07I'm not able to throw that shot anymore.
26:09Here.
26:12This operation, obviously you're better off without it than with it.
26:16But do you need the operation just to get through daily life?
26:19Yeah.
26:20It's not the daily life, no, that I need.
26:22What do you need then?
26:23It's me training everything.
26:25I can't lift weights anymore.
26:26I can't do any weights.
26:28I can't do bench press, because this shoulder's fucked.
26:31I can't do shoulder press.
26:33I can't do anything.
26:34I don't know how much damage I've done.
26:37It's concerning to see what the problem is going to be.
26:40Training is my medicine.
26:41And if I had to have lunch without training, I'd be suicidal.
26:45Facts.
26:46I would not be able to function without doing what I'm doing.
26:51Tyson, do you want us to see you now?
26:52And I'll do the examination and everything now, if you want,
26:54and then save you time waiting around and do it afterwards, yeah?
27:02You slip your top off for me.
27:05Just turn your thumb down, so I need it like that,
27:08so I can push in here, OK?
27:09Up you go.
27:11Ah, no.
27:12You felt that?
27:13I felt it in there, yeah.
27:14OK.
27:15Put your hand on your tummy.
27:16Lift your elbow forward.
27:17Yeah.
27:17Stop me pushing it back.
27:19How's that one?
27:20It's painful again.
27:20Yeah, same place.
27:21Same place, yeah.
27:22Put your top back on well done.
27:23It's just that same poxy thing in it every time we do it.
27:27It's the same.
27:28I think you're right, though.
27:29We've been patching it over, haven't we, for enough time.
27:31But I think the kind of worry when, you know,
27:34you're struggling to lift your arm,
27:37you may have a tear in that rotator cup.
27:39Yeah.
27:40And so if you do,
27:40you probably need to sort that now for you, yeah?
27:46The hope is that it's not fully torn.
27:49If so, we're gonna have some options of things we can do.
27:51OK.
27:52If it is fully torn,
27:53then I think we're probably looking at an operation,
27:55but we'll see what your scan shows and go from there.
27:57Perfect.
28:01So you'll feel like your legs are hanging off the end to begin with,
28:04but I'm gonna put a sponge in for me.
28:07I don't think they built this machine for a six-foot-nine person.
28:11I don't like operations.
28:12I try and stay away from him if I can.
28:14Going to sleep is a big no-no for me.
28:16Like, I've never been put to sleep in a boxing ring,
28:18and I don't intend to be put to sleep out of the boxing ring.
28:20It would only affect me if I was coming back boxing.
28:26If he's having operations so he can fight again,
28:29I would be against it.
28:30This competing now at nearly 40-year-old,
28:33you know, he's 37.
28:34He's got an hectic life, so you've got to harm your children.
28:37He cannot live like an athlete anymore.
28:41Well, he's never lived like an athlete ever, has he?
28:43If operations can be avoided,
28:45you're better off avoiding them in my book.
28:47We've had some bad experiences of people going and having operations.
28:50My brother, Newie, went into hospital.
28:53He broke his ankle.
28:56And he needed to have a pin in his foot.
28:58Whilst he was having this operation,
29:00a clock formed and moved and killed him.
29:04Now, why would you risk something like that when you haven't got to?
29:10You've done great, Tyson.
29:11We're on to our final scan now.
29:12About two and a half minutes and we'll be all done.
29:17Do you think the results are going to be good or bad about Dad's shoulder?
29:21I don't know, baby.
29:22But I think, erm, it'll be all right anyway,
29:24suppose your Dad's all right,
29:25but he just might have to have an operation done.
29:28Do you think he's nervous?
29:31Oh, yeah, your Dad was nervous.
29:32Your Dad's always nervous.
29:33He don't really like doctors, does he?
29:36I think he's got a surgery done.
29:38Erm, but I don't need to die.
29:41What's the point of risking your life?
29:42I just love him.
29:44He's me glad and I'm his little baby girl.
29:51Big John, I'm gonna go and walk these down the road for half an hour.
29:54Is there a park out there?
29:56Go out of here. Turn left.
29:58Where the big park is.
29:58Oh, where the big park is.
29:59Where the big park is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:00Kids, come on, we'll go for a walk outside.
30:03See you soon in a minute.
30:08Now is the moment of reckoning.
30:10Is it gonna be good or is it gonna be bad?
30:15There's a principle on these.
30:17Yeah.
30:18Black is good, white is bad.
30:19That's the muscle there.
30:20That's the muscle there, yeah.
30:21Which is that.
30:21And this black line coming in, that's your tendon.
30:24Yeah.
30:24The tear has got worse.
30:27At this point, if I did an operation,
30:29it just takes a bit of pressure off that tendon.
30:32Yeah.
30:34And so that might be the better thing to give you a better outcome longer term.
30:38Okay.
30:39So when we talk about surgery, we talk about risks as well.
30:42Yep.
30:43One risk is bleeding.
30:44Yep.
30:45There is a risk of clots forming in your calves.
30:48If they broke off and went to your lungs, that's life-threatening.
30:51So if I don't have this done...
30:53Yeah.
30:54If you don't have it done, what's happening is that every time you throw in a punch...
30:58Yeah.
30:58..you're effectively wearing away the tendon.
31:00Yeah.
31:00It'll snap.
31:01And that takes us into the unknown a bit.
31:05If it's even on your radar to ever get back in the ring,
31:08I think you really need to have it done.
31:10Cos if you don't, you might never be able to fight again.
31:17It's definitely food for thought.
31:18I'll speak to the wife and me dad and we'll see where we get to with the operation.
31:23It's quite a serious operation.
31:25It's a dangerous situation to be in.
31:26Take care.
31:27Cheers, guys. Thank you.
31:28You're going to put yourself in a dangerous situation so you can have a bit of fun in the ring
31:31again.
31:32Don't do it.
31:34You know, listen, anything can happen, Tyson.
31:37Why have all that risk when you ain't got to do it?
31:39Draw the line now, son.
31:40This is a warning for you.
31:43When you're here healthy, you'd look sick then, wouldn't you, doing what Huey did?
31:47Well, Huey was healthy when he went in there, wasn't he?
31:49Huey went in with the same problem, healthy.
31:51Routine operation, not a problem, he's dead.
31:54Blood tot killed him.
31:56Obviously, it was a big shot.
31:57My Uncle Huey died.
31:58So I can understand where they're coming from on these simple operations.
32:01Nothing, no operation we have to be put to sleep is simple.
32:04You could easily pass away on the operating table at any time.
32:08My Uncle Huey, he was a massive part of my life.
32:10He trained me for me first, I'm going to say, 17 pro fights.
32:15I look back on it and I think it's sad that he never got to see me win the world
32:18title
32:19and become the dominant force in boxing.
32:22It mentally fucked me for a long time.
32:27It's in the family, isn't it?
32:28Yeah.
32:29You know what I'm saying?
32:30So you've just got to be a bit careful, son.
32:32Quit while you're an Ed, for fuck's sake.
32:35Got you the red salty!
32:38What this Ed is, Adonis, if I have the operation, I might die.
32:44But if I don't have it, then there's no chance of a return ever.
32:48You know what I mean?
32:48Well, you don't need a return, do you, so...
32:50What's the point of risking your life for an operation that you don't need?
33:08That you don't need.
33:23I suppose all force people have it when they finish.
33:26What do they do next?
33:28Do I get the operation, don't I?
33:31You know, do I want to fight it again, do I not?
33:34It's all decisions to make.
33:36Do I want to get carried out of the ring on a stretch and potentially die?
33:39Do I want to get some more fights?
33:42I'm not sure.
33:43It's all...
33:44It's all too many questions that need too many answers.
33:48I've gone past the point of where anything means anything anymore.
33:54And that's the truth.
33:55Nothing means anything to me anymore.
34:00I take a lot for granted and I have done for a long period of time
34:03because I've always been pushing for greatness and always wanting more.
34:08And I never really had the time to reflect on everything that I've achieved in my life
34:13or everything that I've done.
34:14Well, yeah, you've got to be thankful for every day you get.
34:17I know I've been saying that a long time.
34:19People are like, oh, you're a young man, 20-year-old, 30-year-old, 35, 40.
34:23Well, you have got to be thankful because tomorrow isn't promised.
34:26Today.
34:27Tomorrow is not promised to anybody.
34:29And today's a gift from God.
34:44God!
34:44God!
35:12When's your step going today...
35:14you
36:07you
