Athena spent more than a week in Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool, including a period of time in intensive care and on a ventilator, after being born earlier this month.

But she is now home and today, Monday, Fury's wife Paris shared new photos of the baby on Instagram, dressed in a pink babygro bearing her name and the words: "Fighter just like my daddy". She also has a matching blanket with her name embroidered on.

Fury has set up a fundraising page to support Ronald McDonald House at Alder Hey Children's Hospital, and nearly £50,000 has been raised.

The boxer is donating two signed WBC belts as part of the fundraiser, which he will personally sign and hand over to the winners.
