“My Full Body Was Shaking With Nerves”: Wife Paris Fury Reacts on Tyson Fury’s Injury and It’s Impact on ‘Gypsy King’s’ Mind

Paris Fury was taken aback when she saw her husband, Tyson Fury all bloodied and with a cut right above his right eye. So much so, that she began shaking. She shared a post on Instagram, talking about her husband’s injury. She wrote “My full body was shaking with nerves when he showed me this cut, cus I wasn’t there with him. He sounded so pi**ed and disappointed but this is boxing (a dangerous sport) and things can happen.”

Being associated so intimately with someone who has the job of causing serious damage to his opponent and in return bearing the risk of facing life-threatening injuries is not an easy task. Paris has supported her husband throughout his career, keeping him grounded and offering him a pillar to lean on. However, for the past few months, she has also been waiting for Tyson to retire once and for all. But even after announcing his retirement, he came back into the ring, unable to resist the temptation of one more fight.

The reason behind Tyson Fury’s frustration stems from the postponement of the upcoming fight with Oleksandr Usyk. This mega-bout was to be held on February 17 in Riyadh. Last time, after his sub-par performance against Francis Ngannou, ‘The Gypsy King’ had postponed the fight  to rest and recover. And now, the entire card would have to wait until Fury  has recovered. The Mancunian has apologized but regardless, there is not much anyone can do in such a case. Usyk has been desperately waiting for the chance to have a go at the heavyweight champion. How has he reacted to this?

How disheartened is Oleksandr Usyk?

Apparently, he is not. Oleksandr Usyk remains unperturbed by the last-minute cancellation of his highly anticipated bout with Tyson Fury, just 15 days before the scheduled date. Fury’s promoters, Queensberry, revealed that the British fighter suffered an injury during a sparring session at his Riyadh training camp. Usyk’s manager, Egis Klimas, assured The Ring Magazine that Usyk’s mental strength is unbreakable, showing no signs of concern or distress upon learning about Fury’s injury.

Klimas stated that Usyk greeted the news with a smile, emphasizing the Ukrainian champion’s resilience. As of February 2nd, Usyk has not publicly addressed the fight’s cancellation, making Klimas’ report the sole insight into his reaction.

Meanwhile, years of seeing her husband fight dangerous battles inside the ring could not prepare Paris to witness her husband in his current plight. But she is a strong woman and hopefully the two will find a way to come back stronger. What do you think of  Tyson suffering an injury weeks before the fight? Let us know in the comments below.
