“There is no emotion,” were the words of an emotionally broken Tyson Fury during his official press conference in October ahead of his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk. The Gypsy King revealed that his wife, Paris Fury, suffered a tormenting miscarriage the night before he faced Usyk back in May. Fury, 36, got married in 2008 and has been together with his wife for nearly two decades now. The pair have seen everything together, from sky-high to the depths of low. However, in those 16 years, this might be the first time that Tyson Fury has not spoken with Paris or his kids for this long.

In an interview with TNT Sports, the 36-year-old revealed that he has not talked to his family for three months due to his intense training camp for the rematch. However, he knows that no matter what happens, his wife will be on his side, just like always.

The childhood sweethearts met each other as teenagers at a wedding of mutual friends in 2005. However, they did not start dating till next year, after Paris’s 16th birthday. Paris later revealed that even though she liked Fury from the start, the 6’9” boxing prospect had to ask her out many times before she eventually said yes. For her, it was a big deal as “he would be my 1st boyfriend.”

During the initial days of the relationship itself, Fury confessed to his parents that he was going to marry Paris. The prediction came true as the pair tied the knot just two years later in November 2008. Since then, the couple has been together through every trial and tribulation and Tyson is grateful for it.

However, a major roadblock came when Tyson Fury did not qualify for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. As the boxer was now free during the summer, he wanted to postpone the wedding by a few months. This completely hindered Paris’ calendar as she later mentioned in her memoir, that she was on the verge of calling off the wedding.

What’s your perspective on:

Does Tyson Fury's three-month silence from family show dedication or misplaced priorities?

Have an interesting take?

After a huge debate and fight where Paris even confronted the Gypsy King to end the relationship, the pair reconciled. When all things were said and done, the pair got married on the initial set date of November 21, 2008, in Doncaster, England. In an interview with Overlap, the Manchester native revealed, “My biggest mentor in my career is probably me wife.”

However, Paris is not only Fury’s life partner and mentor, guiding him through life, she is an author herself and has a promising career going on for her.

What does Paris Fury do? Age, net worth, and more

The 35-year-old’s first book was her memoir, ‘Love and Fury: The Magic and Mayhem of Life with Tyson’, published in October 2021. The memoir dives into her early life to starting a family together with her husband.

The Fury household also has a reality show ‘At Home With the Furys’ on Netflix. The show goes deep into the lesser-known side of Furys. Paris believes that the show portrayed their real family. After evaluating her sponsorships, her book launches, and the Netflix show, MTC has her net worth estimated at $4 million.

In May 2023, she announced that she would release her second book, “How Does She Do It? The Kids, Tyson & Me.” The book hit the shelves in September 2023 and goes deep into how she manages her life with seven kids around. It is a hectic job, but for the pair, their kids are everything and they adore the chaotic family time.

All about Tyson and Paris Fury’s kids

Paris comes from a traditional family and has continued her tradition of a large family. The couple currently has 7 children: Valencia Amber, Venezuela Amber, Prince John James, Prince Tyson Fury II, Prince Adonis Amaziah, Athena, and Rico.

The couple started their family in 2009 with their first daughter, Venezuela. The 16-year-old has often described her father as “very strict,” but she gets along with him “quite well.” She is also close to her mother and is in a “typical mother and teen-daughter relationship,” as described by Paris.

Tyson Fury has already started training his three sons in boxing and challenges them daily as their father. While the 36-year-old is training all three of them, only their youngest son, Prince Adonis Amaziah, has an interest in the sport. A few years ago, Fury posted a hilarious video where Adonis claimed that he wanted to be like Deontay Wilder rather than his father.

The couple’s fourth child, Valencia, was born on December 4, 2017, and is adored by her parents. Athena, born in August 2021, was put in neonatal intensive care and was on a ventilator for a while. Thankfully, she was okay and the couple could not be more grateful. Tyson Fury and Paris welcomed their seventh and youngest child on March 23, 2023.

In the Netflix documentary, The Gypsy King revealed a fun fact regarding their children’s names. The boxer revealed that all his sons are called Prince, because “I’m a king and they’re princes until they earn their rightful name.” Furthermore, they named all of their daughters after cities, just like their mother.

The pair have expressed their desire to have up to 10 kids.

The unfortunate miscarriage of Paris Fury

During the press conference for his upcoming match against Oleksandr Usyk on December 21, Tyson Fury opened up about the tragic miscarriage that her wife went through. A visibly morbid Fury revealed that Paris went through a miscarriage a day before his first fight against Usyk in May 2024.

Fury further revealed that even though Paris was going through such tragedy, she did not inform Fury so as to not affect his mental health. The couple has been open about their miscarriages in the past. In 2014, Paris gave birth to a stillborn while she was pregnant with her third child, leading to Fury’s fight cancelation against Alexander Ustinov.

In 2018, right before Tyson Fury’s comeback, she suffered another miscarriage six months into her pregnancy. She once again chose to hide it from her husband to not affect her husband’s comeback.

She is a warrior who has always put her husband’s career and his well-being at the top. Once again, for the 34-1-1 boxer’s rematch against Usyk, she has accepted another sacrifice, just so her husband can extract his revenge.

Tyson and Paris Fury’s ultimate sacrifice for the Oleksandr Usyk fight

In a recent interview with TNT Sports, Fury revealed that the first thing he will do after winning is to celebrate Christmas with his family. The Gypsy King revealed that he has “been away from my wife and kids for three months. I’ve not spoken to Paris at all in three months, not one word. Listen, it’ll be worth it 100%.”

The 36-year-old has missed many of his family celebrations for his career. However, none of those things could have been harder than this. To not talk to your family for three months is a sacrifice on an entirely next level and not everyone can do that. But as Fury himself stated, if he wins the fight, it will all be worth it.
