Tyson Fury reveals wife Paris suffered miscarriage day before Oleksandr Usyk fight

Tyson Fury has opened up about the personal tragedy that struck his family just before his fight against Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury's wife, Paris, suffered a miscarriage at six months pregnant with their eighth child, a baby boy, on the eve of the fight in Saudi Arabia in May. Tyson, 36, has now revealed that he did not know about the miscarriage until he returned home to Morecambe.

His team did that deliberately because those around him wanted to shield him from the devastating news before the undisputed world title fight. However, Fury felt that something was wrong when Paris did not attend due to illness.

In an emotional interview, Fury shared the pain of not being able to be with his wife during such a difficult time, saying: "She was six months pregnant. It's not like a small miscarriage at the beginning – you have to physically give birth to a dead child - on your own - while your husband is in a foreign country. To go through that on your own isn't good."

Fury also expressed his sadness at being unable to support Paris, stating: "I could not be there for her in that moment. And that's tough for me. I have been with the woman for longer than I wasn't with her, so it's hard that I couldn't be there with her in that time."

When asked about having more children, Fury replied, "Never say never. I only have seven. She lost the one she was having on the Friday of the fight, which was pretty s****y.

Fury recalled: "When she said she couldn't come over, I knew there was a problem. She usually comes out on fight week, but she said she had high blood pressure.
