      After their last fight, he belted out American Pie to his adoring wife – but what do we know about Paris Fury?Who is Paris?
      Tyson met Paris around 16 years ago at a wedding of mutual friends when she was just 15.
      Like Tyson, who grew up in a gypsy family in Wythenshawe, Manchester, she was also raised in a traditional traveller family in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
      The pair met again by chance at Paris’s 16th birthday party and took up together, going to the cinema and ice skating every weekend.
      He is 6ft 9ins and she is 5ft 8ins.

      The heavyweight superstar has likened boxing to marriage.
      He said: “Boxing is like a marriage – you have to work at it. You do fall in and out of love.
      “But I have spiced it back up again, bought her some sexy lingerie and we are back at it, better than ever.”
      Paris, 31, has been a regular panellist on ITV’s Loose Women.What was their wedding like?
      The couple had a traditional wedding in front of more than 300 guests in Paris’ home town in November 2008.
      In keeping with the travellers’ tradition they didn’t sleep together until their wedding night.
      Paris explained: “Even after we got engaged, Tyson would sleep in a caravan at my parents’ home, while I slept inside the house.”
      How many children do the couple have?
      The couple have six, after welcoming the latest to their brood on August 8, 2021.
      They have welcomed a girl called Athena, who follows their third son Prince Adonis Amaziah.
      He came along just over a year after their fourth child, Valencia Amber.
      They are also parents to three other children – Prince John James, Venezuela and Prince Tyson Fury II.
      She told Tyson she was pregnant with Prince John James less than 24 hours before his famous world ­heavyweight boxing ­championship victory against Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.
      Paris revealed she suffered a miscarriage on the day of the Gypsy King’s comeback fight against Albanian Sefer Seferi. 
      But she did not let him know until after the bout.

      She said: “I was about eight weeks pregnant. Then on the day of the fight I knew I’d lost our baby.
      “I didn’t mention it to Tyson before he went in the ring.
      “Then straight after I told him and the next day we went to the hospital and it was confirmed.
      “Five weeks later we fell pregnant again.” More

      And several wrestlers were quick to send their well wishes to the WBC champ via video message following the weigh-in.
      Bill Goldberg said: “Gyspy King, Goldberg here. I’m training, Bobby Lashley, a week and a half [in Saudi Arabia].
      “You, obviously, got Wilder tomorrow night. Let’s make a bet, two for two. You kick his ass, I follow.”
      In his video message, Rey Mysterio said: “Tyson, what’s good? The Mysterio’s here, man.
      “And you man are a Rey de Reyes. A true king. Wishing you the best of luck in tomorrow’s fight.

      Rey’s son, Dominik then chimed in: “We’ll be watching, Tyson. Best of luck.”
      Drew McIntyre also sent a message to his fellow Brit, despite their heated back and forths.
      The Scot said: “Tyson, it’s your old mate Drew McIntyre here.
      “I know we’ve been going back and forth over a year now, talking some crap to each other.
      “But there’s one thing we can agree upon, you’re gonna smash the bum in Vegas.
      “You’ve done it twice already, you know how to get the job done.
      “You’re gonna make it three times. And my God, Wilder better go into hiding after the beating you’re gonna give him.
      When you smash this guy, and when you’re looking over him, just for me, when you look down at him, say, ‘Rest in peace.’The Undertaker’s message to Tyson Fury
      “And then, you and I, back to business. Because we’ve got a stadium to sell out down the line, brother.”
      The Deadman himself even took the time to record a message for Fury, which he ended with a request.
      The recently-retired Undertaker said: “Hey champ, it’s The Undertaker from the WWE, man.
      “I just wanted to reach out and wish you good luck on tomorrow night’s fight.
      “Not that you need it, you’ve already smashed this guy real and properly. And I have no doubt that you’re going to do it again.
      “But I just wanted you to know I’m gonna be watching and I want to see you drop this guy one more time.”
      He added: “When you smash this guy, and when you’re looking over him, just for me, when you look down at him, say, ‘Rest in peace.'”
      How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
      After watching The Undertaker’s message, Fury, 33, sent one of his own to the WWE great.
      He said: “This one is for The Undertaker. I’m here today in your hat, sir.
      “I’m gonna smash him and I’m gonna say, ‘Rest in peace.'”

      Mike Tyson predicts Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder trilogy result and says Bronze Bomber should not worry about loss

      by

      MIKE TYSON has revealed who he thinks will win the trilogy fight between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder.The pair are set to clash for the third and possibly final time at the T-Mobile Arena on October 9.

      The pair have fought twice before, with one ending in a draw and Fury winning the otherCredit: GETTY IMAGES
      The first fight took place on December 1, 2018, and the fight ended in a controversial split draw.
      Wilder landed a vicious right-left combination in the 12th and final round, sending Fury down hard.
      But Fury beat the referee’s count, much to everyone’s surprise.
      Fury won the rematch claiming the WBC and The Ring magazine titles just over a year later.
      He knocked Wilder down twice before Wilder’s corner threw the towel in, bringing an end to the American’s flawless professional record.
      And ‘Iron Mike’ thinks that ‘The Gypsy King’ has Wilder’s number.
      Speaking on his Hotboxin podcast with Andy Ruiz Jr. and Henry Cejudo, he gave his prediction: “No way, you know, Deontay Wilder have nothing to be sad about… I just think Tyson Fury has his number.”
      The trilogy fight materialised after a US judge sided with Wilder following an arbitration, that he was due a third fight by September.

      And the ruling brought negotiations for Fury vs Anthony Joshua to a grinding halt.
      Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn – who represents Joshua – claimed it was a ‘shock to the system’.
      He said: “This negotiation’s been going on for three or four months now.
      “And we were always assured that this wouldn’t be a problem. It was a very strange decision from the arbitrator, to say the least.”

      Hearn also spoke to Fury’s co-promoter Bob Arum.
      He said: “I think he was in complete and utter shock.
      “And I’ve never really heard him speechless…he was almost shell shocked, I think.”

      Tommy Fury insists his ‘invincible’ brother Tyson can ‘easily beat’ Anthony Joshua in brutal putdown

      by

      TYSON FURY would wipe the floor with Anthony Joshua if they fought, according to the WBC king’s little brother Tommy.Negotiations have been put on ice for the time being, after AJ was sensationally beaten by Oleksandr Usyk.

      Meanwhile, Fury was ordered by a court to face off against Deontay Wilder for a third time, scuppering plans for the ‘Battle of Britain’.
      But former Love Island star Tommy reckons any potential fight they might have will be the ‘easiest’ of his brother’s professional career.
      He told The Daily Mail: ‘It’s definitely going to be a good fight but I’ve always said, from day one, it will be his easiest fight and I have no doubt about that.
      “Joshua is tailor-made for Tyson, what a great build-up it’s going to be and what a great fight.”
      Fury claimed the WBC title in 2020 with a scintillating seventh round TKO of then-champion Deontay Wilder.
      But Tommy reckons Wilder is a far tougher opponent than AJ.
      When asked if he thinks a fight with Joshua will be easier for The Gypsy King than his fights with Wilder, he added: “Yes, by a mile.
      “Wilder would have knocked out Joshua within two or three rounds.
      “I know it’s heavyweight boxing and you can never say never, but there is nothing in that fight against Joshua that worries me for Tyson, especially like the Tyson I’ve seen now.
      “He can walk through walls, he’s invincible and it’s going to take some man to beat him and I haven’t seen him being born yet. To beat Tyson, you’re going to have to kill him.
      “The only way you’re beating him is if you knock him out cold and he’s already been hit by the biggest puncher that’s ever lived.
      “So how’s Joshua going to do it? He isn’t, so I think it’s going to be a very easy night for him.”

      Tyson shares his brother’s confidence about any potential fight, telling Sky Sports before AJ’s loss to Usyk: “I don’t think he is as good as people talk him up to be.
      “And I don’t believe he believes it himself, I think he has a confidence issue after two shaky performances and boxing is all about form.
      “On his last two fights he is not in form and, on my last two, I am.
      “Momentum is with me and, because of that, I believe I take him out early, very early, maybe inside one or two rounds.”

      Tyson Fury lists Deontay Wilder’s 26 ‘excuses’ the Bronze Bomber made after epic loss, including ‘voodoo magic’

      by

      TYSON FURY launched a scathing attack on Deontay Wilder, mocking the excuses the American came out with after their rematch last year.Their trilogy fight takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

      Ahead of the eagerly-anticipated bout, Fury, 33, took aim at Wilder on social media.
      And in the dig at the Olympian, a fired-up Fury listed all the excuses The Bronze Bomber made after losing their second fight.
      An excerpt of the post read: “No excuses… but: Costume was too heavy. Fury’s gloves were loaded.
      “I had weak legs. My water was spiked. Fury’s gloves had no padding. Had bicep surgery.
      “I was a zombie. Disloyal trainer. Complications in camp.”
      The post also included a number of conspiracy theories peddled by Wilder, including the 35-year-old’s claim that Fury had ‘egg weights’ in his gloves.
      Fury blasted ‘reptile’ and ‘joke’ Wilder after he initially demanded £14million to fight for a third time.
      The Wythenshawe boxer was originally set to fight Anthony Joshua, until a court ordered he would have to fight Wilder first.

      However, Fury’s dream payday in taking on Anthony Joshua appeared to go up in flames last month.
      AJ was outclassed by Oleksandr Usyk at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, losing his WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles.
      Joshua has already exercised his right for a rematch with the Ukrainian, which Fury wants to train his rival for.

      Fury told FOX Sports Australia: “I believe that if I trained Anthony Joshua for the fight with Usyk, then he’d definitely win the fight.
      “I’m offering my services to him – for me to train him for his rematch. And I guarantee he would win.
      “I’d get him to fight like a big man.”

      by

      TYSON FURY and Deontay Wilder have weighed in ahead of their blockbuster showdown on Saturday night. Both fighters have tipped the scales HEAVIER than their last clash, with Fury at 277lbs and Wilder at 238lbs.
      The Gypsy King knocked the Bronze Bomber out in seven rounds last year to claim the WBC heavyweight title, but the American is set on revenge.

      Follow ALL of the latest news and updates below…
      CONTINUED
      Twig-legged Wilder, 35, was a career heaviest 16st 7lbs for the first defeat of his once-brilliant KO artist career.
      That night was a disaster but instead of stripping back the bulk he piled even more on.
      Wilder said “I wanted to look sexy and feel sexy, he will not be able to put all his weight on me now.
      “The weight came off naturally and we had a loving, joyous camp.”
      The pair clashed backstage in the MGM arena, swapping insults in the bowels of the building.
      Both men shouted “f*** your mumma” before Fury’s younger brother Shane got into a slanging match with a member of the Bomb Squad.
      Big Shane was heard yelling: “You piece of s***, you are getting knocked spark out. F*** you”
      And when a member of Team Wilder yelled back an insult relating to Shane’s curves, he barked: “I’ll tell you what a fat boy could do to you, rip you to pieces you p***y!”
      Fury’s unfamiliar black fedora hat also made a bit more sense when a social media message from wrestling legend The Undertaker was posted.
      The American giant asked Fury to floor his compatriot before standing over him and uttering his famous catchphrase: “Rest in peace”.
      FROM SUNSPORT’S BOXING REPORTER, WALLY DOWNES JR
      Bloodthirsty Tyson Fury plans to feast on Deontay Wilder’s plasma again tonight after weighing in at 19st 11lbs – the heaviest of his career.
      England’s 33-year-old WBC heavyweight champ weighed in at a monstrous 19st 7lbs for last clash he totally dominated and has packed on about 4lbs to reach 277lbs for the trilogy bout.
      Wilder did the same by packing on more muscle to hit his own career heaviest of 17st.
      When the Gypsy King shook up the sport by axing his old defensive skills and blasting Wilder out in seven February 2020 rounds, he had bulked up and looked sensational
      And he once again looks set to slam one foot on the Las Vegas gas and the other on the American’s throat.
      Remembering the iconic moment he licked the blood that was oozing from Wilder’s mouth and ear last time out, he roared: “I told him before the fight I wanted to taste his blood and I did.
      “It has only made me thirsty for more.
      “My weight means total obliteration and annihilation, 277lbs to put him in the royal infirmary.”
      MORE FURY
      “I feel absolutely amazing, I’ve been training at this weight for two years.
      “I’m on fire, I”m going to knock the dosser out, he’s in trouble tomorrow night.
      “I think he’ll be slow, he can’t carry his weight, he’s actually a small man.
      “They’re not going to face me, I’m a real man, he’s a coward.
      “I’d fight his army on my own.”
      WEIGHT RECAP
      So then, both men come in heavier than the second fight.
      Wilder is 238lbs, while Fury is 277lbs.
      Tomorrow should be a cracker.
      FURY
      “I’m going to severely damage him, he won’t be recognisable after the fight.”
      Fury is raging here, several swear words too!
      FURY
      “It means total annihilation of the dosser!
      “I’m going to put him in the infirmary.”
      WILDER
      “The weight came on, I wanted to look and feel sexy.
      “There won’t be no pushing me. Calmness is the key to the storm.”
      BAD MOUTHING
      Some shouting from Fury towards Wilder, who responds with his own yells.
      They both look like they could get in the ring right now!
      FURY WEIGHT
      Here’s Fury on the scales.
      And the Gypsy King is 277lbs!
      He was 273lbs last time…
      WILDER WEIGHT
      Deontay Wilder has stepped up to the scales.
      And he is 238lbs!
      That’s SEVEN pounds heavier than last time!
      DON’T LET TRILOGY GO ‘TITS UP’
      Ricky Hatton has urged mate Tyson Fury to keep British boxing afloat by not letting the Deontay Wilder trilogy go ‘tits up’.
      The Manchester legend was ringside to watch AJ surrender his WBA, IBF and WBO world titles to Oleksandr Usyk on September 25, as prospect son Campbell Hatton got a win on the undercard.
      In 2017 the UK held 13 boxing world titles but AJ’s defeat last month saw the number dwindle down to just six.
      And the 43-year-old national treasure wants his old pal – who did two training camps in his Manchester gym when working with ex-trainer Ben Davison in 2019 – to keep his eye on the ball in Sin City this weekend so he does not lose his WBC belt.
      “Tyson is the favourite but it is not a foregone conclusion,” the two-weight champion said. “It will be tricky.
      “We all want Tyson to win but – like we saw with the AJ fight – these are all sticky wickets and it can all go tits up with one heavyweight punch.”
      HERE THEY ARE
      Here is Deontay Wilder, finally on the stage and surrounded by a huge entourage.
      And straight after him is Tyson Fury, looking cool as a cucumber with his belts… and hat.

      Fury even arrived in an Undertaker-style hat!
      Should be interesting…
      WILD THING
      Wilder sticks by his claims that Fury cheated in the second fight, saying: “I don’t regret it and I go to my grave believing in what I believe in.
      “I know things for fact. I have confirmation, clarity of a lot of things.
      “Many people can believe what they want. We’re all human. We believe what we want. But the eyes don’t lie.
      “It only made me better as a man, as a fighter, to understand and see certain things. To know things for facts.
      “It made me even hungrier than before.”
      FURY ROAD
      Speaking on Wednesday, Fury said: “All these fights are exactly the same to me. I’ve got some guy trying to take my head off with punches.
      “It don’t matter if it’s Deontay Wilder, or whoever it may be. It doesn’t really matter to me, because it’s the Tyson Fury road show.
      “I absolutely obliterated him in the rematch. He didn’t even win any of the rounds.
      “In this third fight, I just see much more of the same. I hope you’ve got your excuse book ready, dosser!”
      WHAT ARE THE ODDS?
      Unbeaten Fury goes into the fight as the favourite with odds of 4/11.
      You can get 9/4 on dangerous Wilder to avenge his only loss.
      And a draw – which was the result of their first fight remember – is currently set at 25/1.

      David Haye thinks Tyson Fury will ‘raise his game’ and beat Deontay Wilder again despite training camp problems

      by

      DAVID HAYE backs Tyson Fury to raise his game and beat Deontay Wilder despite a “shocking” training camp.The 33-year-old Gypsy King caught covid-19 back in July, cancelling the original 24th WBC world title defence he had booked.
      David Haye reckons Tyson Fury will raise his game to beat Deontay Wilder after a ‘shocking’ training campCredit: Getty Images – Getty
      And then daughter Athena was born premature at the start of August so he never jetted out to Las Vegas until September 18.
      With the first week of October dedicated to media commitments and assistant trainer Andy Lee missing from the team, Haye reckons Fury is up against it – but that’s exactly how he likes it.
      The Hayemaker said: “If his camp has been that short then it is shocking but Tyson has proved time and time again that he raises his game only when he really has to.
      “When he beat Deontay Wilder (February 2020) and Vladimir Klitschko (2015) he had his back against the wall and people ruling him out and his performances went through the roof.
      “In other fights – like the Otto Wallin one – he has struggled his way through and not looked as good.
      “Is his heart set on this fight or is he just going through the motions – was his heart sent on the Anthony Joshua fight that has now fallen through?

      “Maybe Tyson just has Deontay Wilder’s number now and he has just got him in his pocket, it can happen. We will find out again on Saturday.”
      Fury watched AJ’s shock loss Oleksandr Usyk from his Sin City mansion and admitted he was wounded by their £200million showdown going down the pan.
      And Haye – who has two fights of his own with the Gypsy King cancelled before he retired – reckons that could be a nagging hangover for him.
      He said: “All of us fighters love a pound note so he will be disappointed but he has never really rated Anthony, he has said it very publicly.
      “Fury’s opinions now appear to be right because Joshua could not outbox the boxer.
      “Fury might be disappointed because he never got the opportunity to put on the boxing class that Usyk did against AJ.
      How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
      “It’s a shame the fight never happened but I think – if AJ thought he could just go out there and outbox Usyk – then he never really rated him properly.
      “The winner of this fight on Saturday shows who is the man in the division and Usyk against the winner of this one will get everyone very excited – as long as he beats AJ again in the rematch.”
