TYSON FURY says he hasn’t spoken to wife Paris for THREE MONTHS after “sacrificing a lot” for his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.
The bruisers collide for a second time in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night, with Fury looking to avenge his defeat to the Ukrainian in May.
Usyk won the first contest on points to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
And Fury is desperate to put his first-ever loss to bed with a comeback triumph in the Middle East this weekend.
The Gypsy King has been training hard in a bid to regain his belts.
But he claims it has taken a toll on his personal life.

Fury met wife Paris in 2005 and they began dating shortly afterwards.
The pair were married three years later and now have seven children together.
However, the intensity of Fury’s training regime means that he has not seen Paris in three whole months.
And the British ace adds he’s not even spoken to her in that time either.

“I’ve sacrificed a lot. It will be worth it (if I win), 100 per cent.”
Fury’s comments come after he insisted he was only fighting Usyk “for the money.”
He said: “I’m only doing it for the money, obviously. More generational wealth.
“All prize fighters, if they tell the truth, do it for the money, don’t they? Who here is not doing it for the money?
“I don’t want to work for f*** all. I want as much as I can get.
“I want the easiest fights possible for the largest amounts of money possible. I wasn’t born in a Christmas cracker.”
