Paris Fury has opened up on the family feud that's been 'on and off' for years between her husband, Tyson, and his father, John Fury.
It's no secret that the British boxer, 37, and his dad, 60, who was also a former professional boxer, have a complicated relationship.
Earlier this month, Tyson brought his year-long retirement from the sport to an end when he fought and beat Arslanbek Makhmudov; however, his dad had publicly warned him about doing so.
Tyson told Sky Sports News at the time: "My dad wants the best for his son; he wanted me to retire six years ago after [Deontay] Wilder II. Maybe I should have done, maybe I shouldn't have done."

And John brutally told the Daily Mail last month that his 'relationship with Tyson is destroyed'.
“Boxing destroyed it completely," he told the publication: "I’ll say it on camera: I’ve never taken £10 off him in my life and I never will."
The 60-year-old added, "I don’t want Tyson’s money, and I don’t need Tyson’s money. Whatever he’s got, good luck to him.
“But, don’t forget who built his story when he was a kid. He didn’t build it himself, did he? Me, his father.”
Now, as mentioned, Tyson's wife Paris has broken her silence on the feud during her appearance on Jamie Laing's Good Company podcast on Wednesday (22 April).
Host Jamie said, “Tyson and his dad seem to have a rocky relationship at the moment.”
To which Paris responded, “Yeah, they’ve been on and off for years. They always go through this. You know you’ve got two very headstrong people.
“One is probably more headstrong than the other. Everyone’s saying it is a social media stunt, and it’s not."
Shutting down the rumours, she continued: “It’s a family rift that’s going on at the moment, and I hope they resolve it because I think there’s nothing more important than your family.
“I know they love each other deeply, deep down, and for whatever reason, whether it be pride, or whatever - they have an issue, his dad has an issue. And I hope they can resolve it.”
Paris continued: "We come from really family-minded… it’s come at a bad time all this information that’s come out.
“Tyson knew his dad had certain feelings to people in the camp and he, he’s always said I am my own man, and I’ll do things my own way, and he has always done that.
“And that this is where he’s got for it, so he looks at it like, I’ve done my own choices all my life."
She revealed: “His dad’s had opinions on different things he shouldn’t have done in the past, and he’s done, and it’s went unbelievably well.
“He said, don’t fight Deontay Wilder. It’s the best trilogy in boxing history."
