Former heavyweight boxing champion, Tyson Fury has revealed he has had no contact with his wife for the past three months as he prepares for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk next weekend.
He is set to face Usyk for the second time in seven months on Saturday December 21, 2024 after losing on points to the Ukrainian in his first fight in May.
The British boxer takes his training seriously as he has blocked contact from everyone, including his wife.
Tyson Fury’s words
Speaking about his training camp, he told TNT Sports presenter Dev Sahni: “It’s been a long camp. I’ve been away from my wife and children for three months, I haven’t spoken at all in Paris for 3 months, not a word. Yeah, I sacrificed a lot« .
Sahni insinuated that it would be worth it if Fury won the rematch, to which the fighter replied: “It will be worth it, 100%”.
The fighter has been married to his wife, Paris, since 2008. The couple have 7 children together and she is often at ringside for their fights.
However, she was not present when Fury was defeated by Usyk earlier this year.
“She lost this baby”
Tyson Fury later revealed that Paris had suffered a miscarriage the night before the fight, but did not tell him before entering the ring.
However, he claimed he knew of the devastating news after having a phone call with Paris on the eve of the fight.
“When she said she couldn’t come, I knew there was a problem. She usually comes the week of the fight, but she said she has high blood pressure.
I knew she wouldn’t come and Saudi boxing chief Alalshikh offered us a private jet to treat high blood pressure and said he would bring the doctor with her.
She said she couldn’t come and I asked her what was going on and asked her to tell me but she didn’t. So I knew, I knew there was a problem.
I told my brother: She lost that baby. She never told me she lost the baby, but I knew it.
I’m not making excuses but she was six months pregnant; it’s not like a small miscarriage at first, you have to physically give birth to a dead child, alone, while your husband is abroad. I couldn’t be there for her at that time and it’s hard for me. Experiencing this alone is not good.
I’ve been with this woman longer than I was, so it’s hard not being able to be there with her during this time. When I returned, I had the inevitable confirmation that the baby was no more, but she kept it to herself”, declared Tyson Fury in October 2024.
