Tyson Fury has opened up on the tragic news that his wife, Paris, suffered a miscarriage six months into her pregnancy, which he learned the night before he lost the world heavyweight title unification fight versus Oleksandr Usyk in May.
Speaking earlier today, he stated:
"She lost [the baby] on the Friday of the fight, which was pretty shitty.
"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.
"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."
An emotional Fury revealed the news before he and Usyk attended a press conference in London ahead of a rematch.
Fury admitted that before the news, he had began to fear the worst.
"When she said she couldn’t come over, I knew there was a problem.
"She usually comes out on fight week but she had high blood pressure and couldn’t come. I asked her what was up and to tell me but she wouldn’t. So I knew."
