Fury’s Heartbreaking Revelation Before Usyk Fight
Tyson Fury’s personal tragedy came to light as he revealed the loss of his unborn child before his title fight with Oleksandr Usyk. Fury’s wife, Paris, who was six months pregnant, experienced the heartbreaking loss while Fury was in Saudi Arabia. She had informed him of her inability to attend the fight due to high blood pressure, which led Fury to suspect something was amiss.
Fury shared his intuition about the situation, stating, “When she said she couldn’t come over, I knew there was a problem.” Despite his suspicions, Fury was not informed of the loss until he returned home to Morecambe. The heavyweight boxer expressed his regret about not being there for his wife during such a difficult time.
