Tyson Fury's father, John, has bizarrely expressed a belief they have vampires in the family.
Fury is one of the best boxers on the planet and is currently gearing up for his clash with Oleksandr Usyk on February 17.
The entire Fury family are fighters, something John takes immense pride in.
However, it appears the 59-year-old thinks their appetite for blood stems from being related to vampires.

In a new book, per the Daily Star, the 59-year-old says: "Vampires seem to be in the family.
"My cousin Jimmy was born with just two teeth in his head, his canine fangs.
"He’s in his 60s now and he’s still got those Dracula teeth."
John has also been to Romania himself in order to feel close to Dracula.
He adds: “Dracula is my all-time favourite story, and follows a Victorian solicitor turned estate agent, Jonathan Harker, as he travels to Romania to meet a mysterious count.
"To reach Dracula’s castle, Harker must pass through the forbidding Borgo Pass.
"I retraced the last leg of Harker’s journey from the Romanian medieval town of Bistrit.
“I don’t know what it is about Dracula that resonates with me – maybe it’s because he’s an outsider.
"I do like a drop of the red stuff, but I stick to wine rather than blood.”
Vampires are, of course, mythical creatures.
But it could potentially explain why the Furys are so difficult to stop inside a boxing ring.
Fury will be hopeful of maintaining his unbeaten fight record when he faces Usyk in Saudi Arabia in less than two months' time.
Their showdown had originally been due to take place in the Middle East on December 23.
However, Anthony Joshua fought Otto Wallin that night instead with Fury needing more time to recover from his narrow win over Francis Ngannou.
Carl Froch, meanwhile, thinks Usyk will beat Fury - insisting the Briton 'looked confused' during his win over Ngannou.

“2024’s gonna be a fantastic year," he told talkSPORT.
"Hopefully with a close humdinger with Tyson Fury and Usyk.
"I’m picking Usyk for that one, just because of where Tyson Fury is mentally.
"Hopefully Tyson Fury can have a good camp and rekindle some of his old greatness in terms of when he fought Deontay Wilder three times.
"He looked good, he looked different every time.

"But I don’t know it that’s gone now. He struggles to get the weight off him.
"He seems under-motivated. When he fought Ngannou he looked confused. Has he got old overnight?
“Hopefully he turns up and gets the job done, because I want those titles to return to Britain, but at the minute I think Usyk wins that fight.”
