Tyson Fury has raised tens of thousands of pounds for a home from home charity after his daughter was placed back on the intensive care unit.

He announced on social media on Sunday 8th August that his wife Paris had given birth to their sixth child, Athena.

The professional world heavyweight champion has now raised more than £30,000 in aid of charity Ronald McDonald House Liverpool.

The couple have been married since 2009 and have three daughters and three sons.
