Tyson Fury has shared more of his unfiltered thoughts on family life, and this time the attention has landed on his teenage daughter’s fiancé.
With wedding talk already circling the Fury household, the former heavyweight champion has been speaking about 17-year-old Noah Price and the conversation the pair had before the engagement was given the green light.
Noah proposed to Tyson and Paris Fury’s daughter Venezuela during her 16th birthday celebrations, and the relationship has already sparked a lot of debate online. Paris has publicly defended the engagement, while Tyson has made it clear that he also backed it after sitting down with the young boxer for a serious chat about what marriage actually involves.
Tyson Fury, being Tyson Fury, however, did not stop there.

Speaking about the moment Noah asked for permission, reported by The Independent, Fury said: “He did ask for my permission. He came in and sat down and I explained that marriage is not an easy thing and they are only young kids.”
He went on: “I asked if this is what they really want? He said yes and I gave him my blessing. Fair play, he wasn’t shaking but I could tell he was nervous. Fair play to him.”
Fury also made it clear that he sees a bit of himself in the teenager, adding: “He’s a heavyweight boxer and they say that a daughter always goes for someone like her dad, and she definitely has!”
However, it was his next comment that will likely turn heads a bit, with the boxer revealing exactly what he has in mind for the groom’s pre-wedding celebrations. Fury said: “I don’t know if he’s had a stag do yet – if he does, I’ll be there and I’ll bring the strippers.”
As jokes go, it is about as subtle as you would expect from Tyson Fury, and it is unlikely to pass quietly, given Noah is still only 17. The remark came as Fury was also speaking about the wedding itself, which still does not have a confirmed date, and he suggested most of that side of things is being handled without him.
Speaking about the family’s plans, he said: “I’m looking forward to it, but that will have to wait until after Saturday night.”
He continued: “Fair play to Paris and Venezuela, they’ve actually done this wedding without my input at all. I’ve had zero to do with it. I’m away doing business.”
In case there was any doubt about where his attention is right now, Fury added: “I’m not thinking about domestic stuff at home. I’m thinking about the fight and that’s it. I’m out of bounds. Don’t tell me about anything like that.”
