Paris Fury 'hopeful for better days' amid limited contact with Tyson during Thailand training

Paris Fury is facing a challenge being away from her husband Tyson while he trains in Thailand.

The heavyweight champion, who retired last year, has opted for a comeback to the boxing ring.

In a conversation with Mirror, Paris shared her struggles while Tyson is away.

She mentioned: “We are in separate time zones, so calls are scarce.

“But the usual motto is, ‘let Tyson focus on his career.’

“It's quite a challenge managing their seven children on my own.

“I’m definitely outnumbered, but we carry on in hopes of brighter days.”

Paris further explained how their younger children find it hard to grasp why their dad is absent.

She added: “Rico, who's two, says ‘Dad's fighting’. But when on FaceTime, he'll say, ‘I want to be there with you, Dad.’

“He observes the surroundings [on the video] and asks, ‘Are you vacationing, Dad? Why didn't you bring me along?’

“It's incredibly tough for young ones to understand.”

Paris and Tyson have a big family, with children born between 2009 and 2023.

Their children, in order, are Venezuela (16), Prince John James (14), Prince Tyson II (8), Valencia (7), Prince Adonis Amaziah (5), Athena (4), and Prince Rico Paris (2).

Paris first crossed paths with Tyson in 2005 at the age of 15, before he became a boxer. They met at a shared friend’s wedding where Tyson’s aunt introduced them.

They reconnected at Paris’ sweet 16 and started dating, becoming childhood sweethearts.

Tyson proposed in 2008, and has since proposed twice more to renew their vows.

Last year they renewed their vows in a special France ceremony.

Paris wore an elegant white lace dress, with their kids participating in the occasion. She arrived in a classic car with her daughters, as Tyson spent time with their sons.
