What the Fury?! John and Tommy Fury Launch New BBC Visualised Podcast
The Fury family name has long been synonymous with power, passion, and plain speaking inside the boxing ring. Now, that same raw energy is heading to the podcast studio. Professional boxer and television personality Tommy Fury has officially teamed up with his father, boxing legend John Fury, to launch a brand-new visualised BBC podcast, promising honest debate, generational clashes, and unfiltered opinions.
Titled What the Fury?!, the upcoming series is set to arrive soon on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds, bringing together two sharply contrasting worldviews in a format designed for both listening and watching audiences.
What the Fury?! is a ten-part series, with each episode running approximately 30 minutes. Produced by All3Media’s Optomen, the podcast is filmed at the iconic Holmes Chapel Boxing Club in Cheshire, a location steeped in boxing heritage and personal significance for the Fury family.
At its core, the series is built around conversation, conflict, and connection. Each episode frames a topical issue as a debate between generations:
John Fury represents a traditional, old-school mindset shaped by decades of lived experience
Tommy Fury brings a Gen Z-informed perspective, influenced by social media, modern culture, and a rapidly changing world
The result is a podcast format that feels less like a polite discussion and more like a ringside seat to a verbal sparring match.
A Father-and-Son Dynamic Like No Other
What sets What the Fury?! apart from other celebrity podcasts is the authenticity of its hosts’ relationship. This is not a scripted exchange or a carefully curated brand collaboration. It is a real father and son, unafraid to disagree publicly.
Speaking about the project, Tommy and John Fury said:
“We’re a father and son who see the world completely differently but somehow ended up doing a podcast together. It’s a clash of the old school versus new school, with all the fighting talk you’d expect from us Furys.”
That honesty is expected to be a major draw for audiences, particularly those interested in how family relationships evolve across generations.
Key Topics Explored in the Series
Each episode of What the Fury?! tackles a theme that has undergone dramatic change over recent decades. Topics confirmed for discussion include:
Modern masculinity and how its definition has shifted
Parenting styles: discipline, freedom, and responsibility
Relationships and dating in the digital age
Artificial intelligence and its role in everyday life
How society is evolving, from values to communication
Rather than offering polished expert opinions, the podcast leans into personal experience, instinctive reactions, and emotional honesty, making the conversations relatable to a broad audience.
Why the Visualised Podcast Format Matters
Unlike traditional audio-only podcasts, What the Fury?! is a visualised podcast, meaning viewers can watch the discussions unfold as well as listen. This format has become increasingly popular, especially among younger audiences who prefer content that feels immersive and unscripted.
Filming at Holmes Chapel Boxing Club adds another layer of authenticity. The gym environment reinforces the idea of debate as a form of sparring — verbal rather than physical — and reflects the Furys’ roots in boxing culture.
BBC’s Vision for the Series
The BBC sees What the Fury?! as a natural extension of the Furys’ on-screen appeal. Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC, highlighted why the duo are a strong fit for the platform:
“Tommy and John Fury will pull no punches as they take their energy and spirit from the hit TV show into this new visualised podcast.
Audiences will have a front row seat as they discuss their views on modern day topics like only the Furys can.”
This positioning suggests the podcast is designed not just for boxing fans, but for anyone interested in contemporary culture, family dynamics, and unfiltered debate.
From the Ring to the Studio: The Fury Brand Expands
Over recent years, Tommy Fury has successfully crossed from professional boxing into mainstream entertainment, building a strong following through television and social media. His father, John Fury, remains one of the most outspoken and recognisable figures in British boxing.
By launching What the Fury?!, the pair are expanding the Fury brand into the fast-growing podcast and streaming space — a move that reflects wider trends in how audiences consume celebrity-led content.
