Tyson Fury has revealed that he and his wife Paris named each of their three sons 'Prince' because they are not yet ready to become kings. In keeping with Traveller tradition, the former heavyweight world champion has five children with Paris, and their three boys share the same first name: Prince Tyson Fury II, Prince Adonis Amaziah, and Prince John James.
Fury, who is nicknamed 'The Gypsy King', said in his new documentary: 'I'm a king and they're princes until they earn their rightful name.' The couple also have two daughters, Venezuela and Valencia Amber, and their family is expected to grow in the coming years.
Paris Fury also revealed that she suffered a miscarriage on the morning of her husband's win over Sefer Seferi in 2018 but hid the news from the fighter. Speaking on This Morning, she said: 'There's been major things going on in my life and he's had to stay concentrated on his job. Obviously a big mental upset could affect him.'
She explained that the miscarriage occurred a couple of days before his first return fight and she chose not to tell him to avoid destabilising his focus. 'I had to grin and bear it. I sat alone in the car crying. It was very tough but I was brought up strong-willed. I tried to keep it together. I'm the glue of the home. If I keep it going we'll be strong.'
As Fury prepares for his rematch with Deontay Wilder next weekend, Paris admitted she is 'worried to death' whenever he steps into the ring. She said: 'I never think of him going to lose he always goes to win. The truth is it's 50/50. Especially at this level. It's very dangerous. There's the chance of serious injury.'
She also expressed concern about his mental health, noting that he was diagnosed with mental health issues a couple of years ago. 'It's hard because you worry if he lost or if he loses that dedication towards boxing, would he sink back to those lows?'
