PARIS Fury has signed a big-money book deal to write the tell-all story of her amazing life with two-time world heavyweight boxing champ Tyson.
Paris, 31, says the biography, which will be titled Love And Fury, is a love story about her rollercoaster life with Tyson, 32, and their growing family.

The couple, who are both travellers, have five children, and Paris is pregnant with their sixth which is due later this year.
She said: “This book is my love story – for my husband and family.
“But it’s also a book for all the women out there who’re juggling lots of responsibilities.
“Trust me, I’m on your side.

“I’m a mum, I’m a busy woman, I’m someone who is dealing with a husband with a crazy career and his own huge highs and lows.
“And I want to tell anyone who’s felt overwhelmed when supporting others through tough times: you’re not alone.
“Whatever your experience of love, difficulty and family, I hope you can find strength in my story – there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.”
Paris recently became a panellist on ITV’s Loose Women, but the show had to apologise this week when she casually swore live on air.

Paris said “the s*** hit the fan” when Tyson revealed her baby news before he was supposed to.
Unbeaten WBC heavyweight world champion Tyson first announced the news in early February.

Paris revealed she actually had planned to announce her pregnancy on Loose Woman.
But Tyson got there first when he blurted it out in an interview.
Tyson and Paris are childhood sweethearts and were married in Doncaster in 2008.
Paris met Fury when she was just 15 at a mutual friend’s wedding.
However, it wasn’t until a year later, when their paths crossed again on a night out in Doncaster for her 16th birthday, that they began dating.
Paris explained: “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.”

ITV show Loose Women introduced Paris Fury as a regular panelist last year

The boxing Wag enjoys living a luxury lifestyle
She regularly shares snaps of their family home in Morecambe, Lancs.
Despite her husband’s worldwide boxing fame, the couple live in a modest home with their five children – Venezuela, 10, Prince John James, eight, Prince Tyson Fury II, three, Valencia Amber, two, and Prince Adonis Amaziah, who turned one this year.
The book will be published by Hodder & Stoughton and will go on sale in October.

Publishers Hodder & Stoughton said: “Paris is Tyson’s rock, the wife he thanks for all his success.
“When Tyson’s struggles with OCD, depression and alcohol have threatened to overwhelm them, she has held them together.”
Tyson is in talks over what would be the biggest fight in British boxing history – a showdown clash with Anthony Joshua.
Talks between Joshua, 31, and Fury are still ongoing for a historic undisputed title decider in the summer.

RICKY HATTON and his son laughed as they remembered a sparring session gone wrong which ended in a 14-year-old Campbell’s ribs being ‘pretty much shattered’.
Hatton was a notoriously devastating body-puncher during his iconic career, which saw him reign as a two-weight champion.

And instinct must have kicked in five years ago when his son was on the end of a trademark left hook to the midsection.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Campbell, 19, said: “I was about 14.
“We had done bits before — pads, bags, little taps in sparring, that sort of stuff. This time were a bit different.
“I haven’t forgot. I’m telling it. Yeah, we were having a spar, me and him.

“I threw a shot, a right I think, and I don’t know what happened next — muscle memory or something, because he has pulled out the way and then come flying in, big left hook to the body.
“I hit the deck and I’m rolling there, trying to breathe.
“My mum wasn’t sure about me boxing, now dad has gone and pretty much shattered my rib.
“So I’m there holding my side, gasping, and then I hear him over me, saying, ‘S***, don’t tell your mum!’.”

Hatton, 42, admitted he did tell ex-girlfriend Claire about the incident, but immediately recognised Campbell’s fighting instincts.
He said: “You know what — he did tell her.
“The phone call I had that night, f*** me. Thing is, and this is important, he bloody loved it.”
Campbell boxed for Northside ABC in Clayton and Roy Richardson’s Boxing Academy, winning National Novice and North West titles.
He was trained along the way by his dad as well as uncle Matthew, who fought Canelo Alvarez and Kell Brook in his career.
The son of a legend announced his decision to turn pro in December, signing with Eddie Hearn, and set to start out as a super-featherweight.
It was later revealed Campbell joined Anthony Joshua’s 258 management company.
He will be trained by Matthew but dad Ricky will have a say in the management department.

When his boy was growing up, Hatton feared he would catch the boxing bug.
But now, just a month away from Campbell’s debut on Dillian Whyte’s undercard against an as yet unannounced opponent, the Manchester hero is over the moon with his son following in his footsteps. 
Hatton said: “I couldn’t be happier about it. No one wants to see their little boy get punched in the face, but there’s more to it, isn’t there?
“I know pretty well what boxing can do for a kid, for their life, good and bad. But the big questions are — does he have a passion for it?
“Can he dedicate himself to it? Has he got ability? If the answers are no, my job is to say ‘This isn’t for f****** you”. But if it is yes, then why not?
“With Campbell, I’ve seen up close that it is all yes.
“Going back to that story, about me and Campbell sparring — he wanted to come back straight away. In boxing, you learn quickly if it’s for you.
“You either get hit in the face and say, ‘No thanks’, or you say, ‘Come on then, d***head, let’s go again’. He has wanted it every day.” More

LEGENDARY boxer Mike Tyson insists early humans domesticated wild animals including lions and cheetahs.
And he also says ancient kings used to hunt alongside the big cats in days gone by.

Tyson, 54, made the comments on an episode of his Hotboxin’ podcast with Cesar Milan, host of TV show The Dog Whisperer.
Tyson, who returned to the ring in an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr in November, said: “We had, you know, at one time in life, man had to have been rolling with a pack of lions.
“There’s no way that couldn’t have happened, it had to happen.
“You see how domesticated they had them, now imagine history you know.

“The time they had to roll together, there’s no way they had to hunt with another.
“That sounds crazy, there’s no way that couldn’t have happened.”
Tyson has made no secret of his love for wild animals in the past.
Iron Mike infamously owned three Bengal tigers during his fighting heyday – which each one reportedly costing £48,000.

The former ‘Baddest Person on the Planet’ formed a special relationship with the exotic beasts.
Tyson would take them for walks on leads and even play-fight with them.
He also once offered a zookeeper £9,000 to let him tussle with a huge silverback gorilla.
And Iron Mike even had to pay a trespasser a cool £200k after one of his animals ‘f***** up’ her hand badly.

JOSH KELLY and David Avanesyan will finally settle their drawn out three-year feud this weekend.
The two were first scheduled to fight in December 2018 but on the MORNING of the bout, Kelly was forced to withdraw with illness.

How Josh Kelly and David Avanesyan compare

It sparked tension between both camps which carried on until they were again matched up in March 2020.
But the jinxed fight became the first boxing casualty of the coronavirus pandemic, which forced all sports to be shelved.
Now, almost 12-months on Kelly and Avanesyan are at last going to put bragging rights on the line – and here SunSport compares the duo.
Josh Kelly
Kelly was a standout amateur winning an ABA title in 2013, three years before he represented Team GB at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

He was beaten by eventual winner Daniyar Eleusinov of Kazakhstan and turned pro with Eddie Hearn in 2017.
Immediately the Sunderland supporter looked to be one to watch, thanks to his lightening fast, slick, hands down style.
Kelly got off to a quick start in the paid ranks winning five in his first 12 months.
His experience as an international amateur gave Hearn the confidence to fast-track the welterweight, who was 9-0 when he made his US bow.

But in New York – the night Anthony Joshua lost to Andy Ruiz Jr – Kelly was handed a shock of his own, drawing to experienced American Ray Robinson.
Since that night in June 2019, the Brit has boxed just once, beating Nicaraguan Wiston Campos.
Kelly was out the whole of 2020 amid the Covid-19 crisis, but has been promised an exciting year if he can get past European champ Avanesyan.

David Avanesyan
The Russian himself had a stellar run in the amateurs, with over 100 bouts, before he moved into the pros in 2009, aged 20.
Bar one loss in his second contest, Avanesyan went on an 18-fight unbeaten run competing in his homeland.
He then announced himself in Britain in 2014, beating Laszlo Fazekas and Dean Bryne.
Avanesyan won the WBA ‘interim’ welterweight belt a year later by beating Charlie Navarro before defending it against legend Shane Mosley.
In his biggest fight to date, he lost to Lamont Peterson in 2017, challenging for the WBA’s secondary ‘Regular’ title.
Avanesyan’s only defeat since has come against Egidijus Kavaliauskas, who proved a tough test for US star Terence Crawford in 2019.
After that, Avanesyan pulled off an upset in September 2019 to beat Spaniard Kerman Lejarraga in Bilbao, and won the rematch three months later.
He has built a reputation for his rugged work rate and has almost triple the amount of fights compared to Kelly, having also faced more experienced competition.

Where does the winner go?
Promoter Hearn has already tipped Kelly for superstardom – but only if he gets past Avanesyan in style.
He told SecondsOut: “I’m so intrigued by this fight because if Josh Kelly goes in there and demolishes David Avanesyan, which can happen because he’s that kind of fighter.
“He looks the part, Josh Kelly. Who wouldn’t want to look as handsome as him?
“If he can fight like he looks, then he’s going to be a star. But these are the type of fights that make stars.
“These are your breakout fights, and like anything, if you’re not good enough, you won’t win.
“But that’s OK, there’s not shame in that. You can come again or you can find another job. But this is such an intriguing match-up.”
