Paris Fury has shared her emotional response when asked about her husband Tyson cutting contact with her for three months.
Now, the 36-year-old boxing champion recently opened up about how he's prepared for his world title fight against Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk, which took place over the weekend (December 21), which he subsequently lost.
"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 Paris, 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."
Following his statements, the 35-year-old mum-of-seven, who has been married to Tyson for 16 years now, addressed his comments publicly on social media.
Taking to Instagram last week (December 18), she explained to fans: "People don't see the sacrifices made."
She continued: "I've let him solely concentrate on this fight. It seems like he's been gone forever, especially with no contact. But if it's what he needs."
Fans were clearly concerned by the news, prompting Tyson's promoter, Frank Warren, to explain the real reason behind why the couple haven't talked in a quarter of a year.
Insisting Tyson was 'absolutely focused' on his rematch with his opponent, Frank revealed he 'cut back on everything' in the run-up to Saturday's match.
Speaking to iFL TV, he shared: "Tyson's cut back on everything for this. He's cut back on the amount of people in his team. He's not speaking to people, he's not taking phone calls from family.
"He's absolutely focused on this fight that's all he's interested in. He doesn't want to know about any problems outside business unless they are massively important family issues you know that's where he's at."
At the fight, 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."
