Paris Fury was visibly shaken as she reacted to her husband Tyson Fury’s defeat to Oleksandr Usyk at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh on Saturday. The mother-of-seven, 35, travelled to Saudi Arabia for the fight, seven months on from their first bout, which saw the Ukrainian, 37, inflict the Gypsy King’s first defeat of his professional career.
The boxer, 36, claimed earlier this week he had not spoken to his wife or their children for three months as he locked himself away for his training camp this time round in order to stay focused on the fight. However, Paris’ crestfallen reaction comes after she addressed Tyson’s claims he cut himself off from his family for three months as he locked himself away for his training camp in the run-up to the rematch.
As Tyson stormed out of the ring without conducting a post-fight interview, he was comforted by Paris, who stood by her crestfallen husband’s side as the pair made their way back to his dressing room. The duo are both currently in Saudi Arabia, but have still not spoken, with Paris explaining that they have barely made eye contact since Tyson returned from his training camp.
Tyson’s aim during the rematch was to claim the unified heavyweight titles, after Oleksandr won a split decision in May to become the division’s first undisputed champion in 24 years. However, Oleksandr still defends the gold against the Gypsy King as he outpointed the boxer for a second time to retain his heavyweight title.
Paris admitted that it has been “very difficult” not to talk to her husband for a long time, but supported his decision to cut himself off from his family for his training camp. She also revealed that she suffered a tragic miscarriage during the last time Tyson was away training, and on the eve of his fight against Oleksandr in May, she selflessly endured the agony of having to “give birth to a dead child” alone, so that the boxer could focus on his bout.
The couple welcomed their first child, Venezuela Fury, in 2009, before their first son Prince John James was born in 2011. They then welcomed Prince Tyson Fury II in 2016, Valencia Amber the following year and Prince Adonic Amaziah in 2019. Youngest daughter Athena arrived in 2021, while they welcomed their latest bundle of joy to the clan, Prince Rico, in September last year.
Tyson told The Mirror that when his wife said she couldn’t come to Riyadh, he knew there was a problem. She usually comes out on fight week, but she said she had high blood pressure. He added that Turki Alalshikh, the Saudi boxing chief, offered to take them in a private jet and said he would bring the doctor with her.
When asked if he was making excuses, Tyson said, “I have been with the woman for longer than I wasn’t with her, so it is hard that I couldn’t be there with her in that time. When I got back I got the inevitable confirmation that it was gone but she kept it to herself.”
Conclusion:
The defeat of Tyson Fury to Oleksandr Usyk has left his wife Paris visibly shaken. The boxer’s decision to cut himself off from his family for his training camp has put a strain on their relationship, and Paris has admitted that it has been “very difficult” not to talk to her husband for a long time. The couple’s family life has been put on hold for the sake of Tyson’s boxing career, and it remains to be seen how they will navigate this difficult period.
