Tyson Fury attempted to pay Netflix to have the filming of his hit reality TV show 'At Home With The Furys' stopped midway through their season last year.
Cameras followed Fury and his wife Paris as well as their six kids, his dad John and brother Tommy as they enjoyed his brief retirement from boxing before his ultimate return to the ring. But at multiple points throughout the show, viewers could see that the boxer was less than interested in being filmed, now noting that he wanted production shut down.
The show has been a monster hit for the streamer, drawing in a No.1 rating on the platform and landing them in rare viewership milestones across regular TV given the massive fan interest. But Fury doesn't seem too keen on another season, telling the Queensberry Promotions YouTube channel that the filming made him feel overwhelmed.
“I wanted to get rid of the filming,” he said this week. “I couldn’t take it anymore, it was too much, it was overwhelming for me so I tried to pay my way out of it, but I couldn’t, so we persevered and got through it.
"And in the end, I was happy I didn’t pay my way out, because it’s turned out to be a No.1 hit and a fantastic show – a fantastic insight to a crazy family and the mind of a mental, crazy person.”

Fury is currently preparing for a major crossover fight with Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia next month, which is set to net him a career-high payday. For the first time ever, boxing's lineal heavyweight champion faces his counterpart from MMA, with Ngannou the rightful UFC champion in many eyes after being stripped of the belt when he left the promotion this year.
And he is keen to add to his riches now, saying: "I want to top the Forbes list – the highest-paid athlete ever for a year – and I want to make a Hollywood movie. So, new goals, baby! I’ve completed the ring game, it’s done. I’ve done everything there is to do, won every belt there is to win. I’ve been undefeated in 15 years, two-time undefeated champion.”
