Who Is Tyson Fury's Wife? Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Paris Fury
Everything fans need to know about Fury's wife.
getty On Saturday night, boxer Tyson Fury is set to take on heavyweight champion Deyonte Wilder in Las Vegas when they are finally matched up all over again.
And at the ring may just be his wife, Paris, who's always rooting her husband on.
So who is Tyson Fury's wife? Here's everything fans need to know about this interesting lady before the match.
1. Tyson Fury is known for his professional boxing career.
Fury is a 31-year-old boxer from Manchester, England, and he's already had a pretty impressive career. Although he started out as an amateur, he turned pro at 20 years old, and has been praised for his skill in the ring ever since. In 2018, he boxed WIlder for a heavyweight title in the World Boxing Council match but it all ended up in a tie, which means it's definitely going to be interesting to see how Saturday's fight turns out.
2. But who is Tyson Fury's wife? Paris Fury is famous in her own right, as they're both gypsies.
The Furys are both gypsies, and they've been outspoken about their lifestyle and heritage in the press. In a 2019 interview, Paris shared that she is a "traveler" and was brought up that way.
"I am a traveler, I am a gypsy. I was brought up in caravans when I was a little girl," she said at the time. "It's just the traditional lifestyle; there's no real definition, there's no bloodline because we never went to the doctor to say we are who we are. There was no paperwork, there are still gypsies today who can't read or write; we're just that old-fashioned.
3. Paris starred in a recent documentary about her life along with Tyson.
Paris and Tyson are currently starring in a British documentary series airing on ITV called Travis Fury: The Gypsy King. The documentary follows along with their real life (and the ups and downs of their marriage, including arguments about the way they want to raise their kids) as Travis prepares to jump back into the ring with Wilder.
"Tyson Fury is taking on the biggest fight of his life, the fight to reclaim his title of heavyweight champion of the world and the fight to maintain his mental health," says ITV's description of the series.
4. She finds it hard to watch her husband fight.
In a recent interview with Good Morning Britain, Paris opened up about how difficult it is to watch her husband fight in the ring and live with the fear that he could get hurt.
"It's getting harder every time because obviously the level of the boxers that he fights is higher up," she explained. "Every fight is harder, every fight you get more punches, more problems, more cuts."
5. She and Tyson have been together since they were teenagers and now have five children together.
Tyson and Paris originally met a long time ago. Their relationship goes all the way back to when they first met at a wedding when she was 15, as Paris explained in the same interview that she opened up about her life as a gypsy.
“He was my first boyfriend as I was not allowed a boyfriend until the age of 16. He is the only boyfriend I have had," she said. "Tyson would train in boxing during the week and then come and see me at the weekend. I would always be so excited at the thought of seeing him.”
Today, they have five children — three sons named Prince, and daughters named Valencia and Venezuela.
6. She often posts about him and their family on Instagram.
Those who follow Paris on social media already know that Tyson and their children are regular fixtures in her photos. When she's not posting about her family life, Paris is often sharing her outings with friends and is showing off her outfits (which are pretty impressive, because this lady is quite a fashionista).
Fans who tune into Travis' fight against Wilder will probably recognize Paris in the crowd — we don't doubt she'll be there to cheer her husband on.
