Thursday, October 24, 2024 –British boxer, Tyson
Fury has revealed his wife suffered a miscarriage the day before he was
beaten by Oleksandr Usyk in May.
Fury
and Usyk fought in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with the Ukrainian emerging victorious
via split decision to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
Fury has now detailed a conversation he had with his wife, Paris,that left
him concerned heading into the fight when she decided to stay behind in England
'When she said she couldn’t come over, I knew there was a problem,' Fury
said, as quoted by The Mirror. 'She usually comes out on fight week but
she said she had high blood pressure.
'I knew she wasn’t coming over on the Friday and [Saudi boxing chief]
Turki Alalshikh offered us a private jet to get around the high blood pressure
and said he would bring the doctor with her.
'She said she couldn’t come and I asked her what was up and
asked her to tell me but she wouldn’t. So I knew, I knew there was a problem. I
said to my brother, "She’s lost that baby". She never told me she had
lost the baby, but I knew.
'I am not making excuses but 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. I could not be
there for her in that moment and that is tough for me. To go through that on
your own, that isn’t good.
'I have been with the woman for longer than I wasn’t with her, so it is
hard that I couldn’t be there with her in that time. When I got back I got the
inevitable confirmation that it was gone but she kept it to herself.'
Tyson and Paris have been married for 16 years and have seven children
together.
Fury will face in December
