Tyson Fury is one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of our generation. He suffered through several ups and downs in his life. However, constant support throughout those moments has been his wife Paris Fury.
The “Gypsy King” found his queen quite early in his life. They first met at the wedding of a mutual friend in 2005. At the time, Tyson was 17 and Paris was 15. They later met on Paris’ 16th birthday and started dating around that time.
In an Instagram post, Paris detailed the early stages of their relationship. She wrote, “I liked him from the very beginning – he was so different to other boys… I didn’t say yes to dating straight away though, he ask me out alot of times before I agreed! It was a big deal he would be my 1st boyfriend.”
She revealed Tyson took her to watch King Kong at the cinemas on their first date. He wanted to marry her from that point itself. The moment came on November 21, 2008. However, not without its share of problems.
In her memoir ‘Love and Fury: The Magic and Mayhem of Life with Tyson’, Paris claimed that she almost called off the wedding due to Tyson’s last-minute change of plans. However, the couple patched up and their wedding went on as per schedule.
Paris is a TV star, an author, and a mother of her and Tyson’s seven children. She released her first memoir in 2021 and later she released another book called “How Does She Do It?” in 2023. As of 2023, Tyson and Paris are happily married.
