Tyson Fury issued daughter Venezuela, 16, strict rules before marriage to Noah Price, 17
As former heavyweight champion and certified hard-case Tyson Fury's eldest daughter, Venezuela Fury was subjected to some pretty strict rules growing up, especially with regards to relationships.
It's no surprise, therefore, that upon learning of her engagement, Tyson had some choice words for the 16-year-old.
Venezuela said 'yes' to 17-year-old boyfriend Noah Price in September of last year after he got down on one knee at her 16th birthday party.
Fans recently received an insight into the festivities, with the proposal featuring on the latest season of At Home With the Furys, a Netflix docuseries following the famous family's highs and lows.

One episode showed the teen asking Tyson for his permission before popping the all-important question.
Despite the 37-year-old boxer happily agreeing, joking that he'd 'bring the strippers' if invited to Noah's incoming stag-do, Venezuela previously revealed her father is far from relaxed when the cameras aren't rolling.
During filming for the first season, which aired in 2023, the teen voiced her frustrations, telling viewers: "I get on well with my dad, but he's very strict. He just doesn't like me wearing make-up and looking nice."
Venezuela added that the time that Tyson has long instilled rules surrounding both fashion and falling in love.
Recalling one instance whereby the sportsman 'went mental' over her choice to wear a fitted lilac dress to a party, the youngster said: "My mum, being the fool that she is, sent him a photo saying 'me and Venezuela are off to a party', with a photo of me and her, and he went 'she looks like this, she looks like that'.
"He went mental. Strict parents raise sneaky kids."
Venezuela went on to add: "He says I'm not leaving the door til I get married, but how am I supposed to get married if I'm not leaving the door?"
Responding to his daughter's comments, Tyson explained in the episode: "As soon as she got to 11, 12, she decided she was a woman. She's tall, skinny, and pretty. She's got it all going on."
The father-of-seven added: "All the time they're under my roof, and I'm paying for them, they have to put up with my horrible rules. The moment they leave home, they can do exactly what they want when they're adults, can't they? That's just how the cookie crumbles."
At the time, her mum Paris - who has since defended her daughter's engagement - confirmed her husband's protective nature, telling the cameras: "When she was growing up, Big Tyson used to say she can do what she wants, wear make-up and miniskirts, go anywhere. We're not putting rules on her.
"Then she turned 12 and all the rules changed. Tyson doesn't like short skirts, lots of make-up or anything, but it's just about him accepting he has a teenage daughter."
During the most recent series, following Noah's proposal, Tyson is seen checking that marriage is definitely what Venezuela wants.
"Marriage is forever, the way we do it, so when you go in that church and say 'I do', no piece of paper or government can undo you, as what God puts together can never be undone," he explains, seemingly referencing his family's traveller culture.
"So it's a lifetime commitment, and however old you are, 16-year-old, are you ready for a lifetime commitment to somebody you barely know? You know that for 100 percent fact?"
After Venezuela confirms she is ready and willing to commit to Noah, Tyson happily responds: "Then fair play because I knew as soon as I saw your mother. If you can get a sensible lad, which he is, what more could you want?"
How did Venezuela Fury meet Noah Price?
Taking to TikTok after her engagement, Venezuela explained how Noah slid into her Instagram DMs when she was 14.
Despite not knowing who he was at the time, she revealed she soon realised she'd actually met him at York Races previously. They met once again at the races, where they soon shared their first kiss - though Venezuela admitted she 'didn’t know if she wanted to punch him or not' due to him apparently having 'side b*tches'.
The couple went official when she was 15, and after a year of being in an on-and-off relationship, Noah popped the question.
Speaking to Fabulous, Venezuela said: "I was very shocked. It all came as a huge surprise. I wasn’t overly emotional because I was so surprised and I was very nervous, as I realised a lot of people were watching me.
"It was a very exciting moment, though, probably one of the best of my life. But I would have been content if he had asked me to marry him anywhere.
"I didn’t care about the ‘big proposal’, but I am very happy."
