Every time Tyson Fury has stepped through the ropes, he is assured to have left the fans entertained. The undefeated WBC heavyweight champion is arguably the best of his era, and his in-ring displays are absolutely spectacular. However, it has never been easy for his family to watch him fight, especially for his wife, Paris Fury.

Tyson and Paris have been together for over two decades. And Paris Fury has been the prime support for Tyson Fury’s boxing success. While Fury has now achieved it all in the sport, his wife revealed what she feels while her husband gets through vicious opponents in the ring.

In a chat with Talk Sport, Paris Fury said, “When Tyson used to fight at the very beginning, it was more of a novelty. Because Tyson never got punched. If you look at Tyson now, he still has a straight nose. For boxers, that’s pretty rare. And he has been um, as the years went by and he fought the higher opposition. Then he will get hit back, and that’s when it became horrible. It became not nice to watch.”

Paris Fury’s statement sounded similar to what WBC Interim heavyweight champion Dillian Whyte recently said about ‘The Gypsy King’. Despite being unbeaten, Fury has contracted some serious punishment in his fights from recent years against Otto Wallin and Deontay Wilder. He looked vulnerable, and that’s what concerned Paris Fury.

Hence, he is still in a pole position to fight ‘The Gypsy King’. Despite it, Tyson Fury still looks favorable to win against ‘The Body Snatcher’. Having stopped Wilder twice, he is undoubtedly the best in the ‘Big-Boy’ club of boxing.
