Tyson Fury lost his unborn son the day before he fought Oleksandr Usyk in May - but his wife Paris did not tell him until after his defeat by the Ukrainian.

Tyson Fury faced the ultimate test of his career as he entered the ring against Oleksandr Usyk, grappling with personal tragedy. The Gypsy King, aged 36, who has a large family with his wife Paris, was dethroned by Usyk in a captivating bout in May, surrendering both his title and undefeated streak.

Paris, 34, six months into her pregnancy, had opted out of attending the fight in Riyadh due to health concerns.

The heavyweight champion sensed something amiss when Paris, his partner of 16 years, informed him she wouldn't be ringside because of high blood pressure. "When she said she couldn't come over, I knew there was a problem," Fury disclosed.

"She usually comes out on fight week but she said she had high blood pressure."

Fury's intuition signalled a deeper issue when Paris declined an offer from Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh for a private jet, complete with medical support, to circumvent her health issue.

"I knew she wasn't coming over on the Friday and [Saudi boxing chief] Turki Alalshikh offered us a private jet to get around the high blood pressure and said he would bring the doctor with her. She said she couldn't come and I asked her what was up and asked her to tell me but she wouldn't.

"So I knew, I knew there was a problem. I said to my brother, 'She's lost that baby'. She never told me she had lost the baby, but I knew," reports the Irish Mirror.

The boxer reflected: "I am not making excuses but she was six months pregnant; it's not like a small miscarriage at the beginning, you have to physically give birth to a dead child, on your own, while your husband is in a foreign country. I could not be there for her in that moment and that is tough for me.

"To go through that on your own, that isn't good. I have been with the woman for longer than I wasn't with her, so it is hard that I couldn't be there with her in that time. When I got back I got the inevitable confirmation that it was gone but she kept it to herself."

Fury, who will attempt to avenge his defeat by Usyk in their rematch on December 21, insists his performance was not affected by his family's latest tragedy.

"To go through that on your own, that isn't good, but it's not an excuse - hell no. I am a man of honour and I do what I have to do when I am in there. I don't think about that sort of stuff when I am in the fight.

"Nothing outside the ring matters, there is no emotion; you think about all that stuff afterwards. Will we have any more kids? I don't know if she's back to normal from that. It was only a few months ago and it takes a lot of getting over."
