Paris Fury made heartbreaking comment about husband Tyson before retirement announcement
Paris Fury made a heartbreaking comment about her husband, Tyson, before he announced his retirement from boxing earlier this week.
On Monday (13 January), Tyson revealed to his fans he'd be hanging up his boxing gloves following his defeat against Oleksandr Usyk.
The father-of-seven took to Instagram to tell followers: "Hi everybody, I'm going to make this short and sweet. I'd like to announce my retirement from boxing. It's been a blast, I've loved every single minute of it.
"I'm going to end with this. Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody, see you on the other side. GET UP!"

He captioned the clip: "Thanks its been a blast. Thanks to everyone who helped out along the way! Happy new year. Jesus is king now & forever."
Ahead of his most recent match in December, Tyson opened up about how he was preparing for his world title fight against the Ukrainian boxer.
"It's been a long camp. Been away from my wife and kids for three months," he told presenter Dev Sahni on Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions YouTube channel.
Tyson went on to reveal just how long it's been since he chatted to his missus, saying: "I've not spoken to Paris at all for three months, not one word. Yeah, I've sacrificed a lot. It will be worth it, 100 percent."
At the fight, which Tyson subsequently lost, iFL TV asked Paris if her husband's claims of cutting himself off from the family were true.
She replied: "Yes, it's true. I think after the last fight, everything that went on previously, personally in our lives and then Tyson obviously had the outcome last time, I just think he decided this on his own.
"And I had to support him in it.
"He didn't want to be involved in family life so he's cut himself off from us for the last few months. He's put himself in a serious, serious condition and he looks very, very determined."
Paris continued: "So if it's what needed to be, then God willing tomorrow night it will all come out and it will all be good and all worthwhile.
"It's been very difficult, I can't lie. I supported him in the decision but it wasn't the greatest thing to sit and not speak to your husband for a long time.
"But I'm looking at him - it was the first time I saw him [at the weigh-in], we still haven't spoke.
"I can see I think, in my heart, it has paid off. The dedication that he's got there, and the concentration, and I can see it in his eyes, that nothing else matters apart from this fight tomorrow night."
