In 2005, Tyson Fury had just started his amateur career in boxing. ‘The Gypsy King’ was only 17 years old when his future wife Paris Fury caught a hilarious glimpse of him. At the time of their first meeting in 2005, a “hulking man” Tyson Fury, struggling to get out of his Mercedes, produced such a comic effect that it led Paris Fury’s then Paris Mulroy’s cousin sister to refer to the man as J.R.R. Tolkein’s “Farmer Giles”.

In detail, Paris Fury later narrated the moment in her book titled Love and Fury. In Chapter 2, under the alliterative heading “Meeting My Match”, Paris Fury recounted the very moment she caught sight of her future husband Tyson Fury. “The first time I caught sight of Tyson Fury, in the summer of 2005, I couldn’t help but laugh,” wrote Paris Fury. Then Mulroy was accompanied by her aunt and cousin and traveling for a friend’s wedding. “As we walked through the car park we noticed a huge, hulking man trying his best to heave himself out of the passenger seat of a Mercedes,” she added by saying.

To this day, Paris vividly remembers exactly how ‘The Gypsy King’ looked trying to heave himself out of that Mercedes. “He was a tangle of knees and elbows, with a mop of dark curly hair, big bushy sideburns and a long frizzy beard”– recorded the literary description by Paris Fury. As soon as Maria observed Tyson Fury, she alluded to “Farmer Giles of Ham” and suggested helping the man struggling.
