Paris Fury shares 'very difficult' decision to support husband Tyson over three-month family time ban

Paris Fury was happy to support husband Tyson Fury as he turned away from family life for three months to prepare for an imminent boxing rematch - but admits it was "very difficult"

Paris Fury has opened up about her husband Tyson's decision to train away from his family for three months in order to focus on an upcoming fight.

It seems the heavyweight champion is still licking his wounds after being beaten by Ukrainian professional boxer Oleksandr Usyk, 37, in a tense fight held in Saudi Arabia back in May. The 36-year-old British champ is due to get back in the ring with Oleksandr for a rematch in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.

To prepare for the rematch, Tyson locked himself away from beloved wife Paris, 35, and their seven children in order to focus on his training. The couple - who have been in a relationship since their teenage years and married in 2008 - are parents to daughters Venezuela, 15, Valencia, five, Athena, three, and sons Prince John James, 13, Prince Tyson II, eight, Prince Adonis, five, and Prince Rico Paris, one.

While many might struggle to be away from their closest loved one - let alone with seven children to entertain - Paris has explained she fully supported her husband after he decided to take time away from them to prepare for the upcoming rematch. However, the At Home With The Furys star admitted it was "very difficult" without him.

Opening up to IFL TV Boxing, Paris said: "After the last fight, everything that went on previously personally in our lives and then Tyson obviously had the outcome last time, I just think he decided this on his own and I had to support him in it." She explained that Tyson "didn't want to be involved in family life" and has put himself in a "serious, serious condition."

She added: "It's been very difficult I can't lie." Paris went on to describe the moment she was reconciled with her husband as she jetted out to the Middle East ahead of the fight. She revealed: "Yesterday was the first time I saw him, we still haven't spoken, I literally was ten feet across from him and we've just barely made eye contact." But she added: "I haven't seen him like this since the Deontay Wilder rematch, this was the last time I've seen Tyson in this mood."

Oleksandr was crowned the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world in May when he triumphed over Tyson - with the win boiling down to a split-decision points defeat. Speaking after being slapped into second place, Tyson said: "I believe he won a few of the rounds, but I won the majority.

"His country is at war, so people are siding with the country at war. Make no mistake, I won that fight in my opinion. It was one of the daftest decisions in boxing. I'll be back." The British star will have his chance to win over his opponent when they face to battle again at 11pm GMT on Saturday night.
