Tyson Fury shares seven children with his wife, Paris Fury

NEED TO KNOW

• Tyson Fury married his wife, Paris Fury, in 2008
• The heavyweight legend and the author have welcomed seven children together
• Paris appeared alongside Tyson and their children on a Netflix reality show

Tyson Fury's wife, Paris Fury, has supported him in and out of the boxing ring.

The professional boxer, otherwise known as the "Gypsy King," first met Paris as teenagers at a 2005 wedding. Three years after crossing paths, the pair got married in England in November 2008, again in New York in 2013 and for a third time in France in August 2025. From his career as a professional boxer to raising seven children together, Tyson says that Paris has been by his side through it all.

"To get a woman who's been with you all that time and gone through the b——-," he told The Overlap in September 2021. "The good times and the bad times … [For her] to still be there when you don't want to be and when you're being forced away and you're being pushed out, that takes a very strong individual."

He added that Paris is also his "biggest mentor" in his career.

Though Tyson did originally announce his retirement in April 2022, he didn't end up leaving the sport. But after he lost a fight in December 2024 that required him to be away from his family for three months, he announced in January 2025 that he was walking away from boxing for good. However, he is now coming out of retirement and returning to the ring on April 11 to fight Arslanbek Makhmudov in London, an event that will also stream on Netflix.

So, who is Tyson Fury’s wife? Here’s everything to know about Paris Fury and her relationship with the heavyweight legend.

She's an author

Paris’ first book, Love and Fury: The Magic and Mayhem of Life with Tyson, was published in October 2021. The memoir dives into everything from her upbringing to starting a family with Tyson. It also delves into some of the hard times they’ve gone through together.

In May 2023, she announced the release of her second book, How Does She Do It?, hitting bookshelves on Sept. 28.

“It’s about how I run my crazy, hectic life with six kids, soon to be seven, Tyson around the world, me and him globe-trotting and just day-to-day life of cooking, cleaning, everything else that mothers have to do," Paris shared in an Instagram Reel.

She met Tyson at a wedding

Paris and Tyson first met at the wedding of a mutual friend in 2005, but they didn't start dating until nearly a year later, after crossing paths again on her 16th birthday.

“I liked him from the very beginning – he was so different to other boys,” she captioned an October 2021 throwback photo on Instagram of the couple as teenagers. “I didn't say yes to dating straight away though,he [sic] ask me out alot [sic]of times before I agreed! It was a big deal he would be my 1st boyfriend.”

Paris also detailed what the beginning of their relationship was like. “Our first date was to see King Kong at the cinema and later I found out he'd told his parents afterwards that he was going to marry me,” she added.

She also shared that some of her favorite memories from when they started dating include “going ice skating and having picnics” and that they “always used to talk about our future together.”

She called off her wedding to Tyson at one point

Before they could make it down the aisle, an issue came up between Paris and Tyson that nearly put an end to their relationship. In her memoir Love and Fury: The Magic and Mayhem of Life with Tyson, Paris writes about how their "schedule was thrown into the air" when her future husband didn’t secure a spot to compete at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Though the bride-to-be was planning a winter wedding with a November date in mind, Tyson wanted to move up the nuptials by a few months because of his newly freed-up schedule.

"My fiancé clearly didn’t understand the amount of planning and organisation that went into a wedding," she wrote in her book, per The Sun. "I was beginning to realise how incredibly impulsive he was, the sort of person who lived life in the moment and liked to make decisions on the hoof."

She explained, "In Tyson’s world, our big day could be rescheduled on a whim, just like one of his boxing matches. I was having none of it, though, and refused point blank to change the date."

The couple butted heads, leading Paris to call off the wedding. "After an ugly slanging match with him outside Mam's house, I decided to call time on the wedding and our relationship," she wrote. "He thought I was joking and when I dropped the big bombshell, then he realised I was deadly serious."

After a few weeks apart, they reconciled. Paris had tasked her mom Lynda to cancel the wedding plans and venue, but she predicted that the couple would “patch things up” and never did. With the date still set, they said "I do" on Nov. 21, 2008, in Doncaster, England.

They have welcomed seven children together

Paris and Tyson are parents to seven kids. The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Venezuela Lynda, in September 2009. Their son, Prince John James, was later born in April 2012. Prince Tyson II, named after his father, arrived in July 2016, and goes by his middle name or "Tutty." Valencia Amber was born in December 2017, and the couple had their third son, Prince Adonis Amaziah, in February 2019.

Tyson and Paris went on to welcome two more children: daughter Athena, born in August 2021, followed by son Prince Rico, who goes by Rico, in September 2023.

Tyson retired the first time because of a promise he made her

Tyson hung up his gloves for Paris, announcing his intent to retire in April 2022. The news came after he retained his heavyweight title with a knockout win against Dillian Whyte at London’s Wembley Stadium.

"I promised my lovely wife Paris of 14 years that after the [Deontay] Wilder III fight, that would be it — and I meant it," he told BT Sport after the match.

According to the champion, he felt compelled to defend his title at Wembley after the Wilder fight, but his time had come to a close. "I have to be a man of my word, and I think this might be the final curtain for the Gypsy King. And what a way to go out!" he added.

Paris also told the outlet that she "would like him to come out" of the game "now" and believes her husband "has nothing more to prove," per CNN.

"If he had anything left to do, I would say 'Yeah Tyson, you do it," she said. "So unless he really wants to box on, and if he's just doing it for whatever money, fame, he doesn't need that. He's the most famous man on the planet tonight."

Paris continued, "For Tyson to keep boxing, it just seems for one reason and I know in my heart, I think the only reason that Tyson will come back is for the unification fight."

Tyson ultimately did end up coming out of retirement, but spending time away from Paris and their children to prepare for a match in Saudi Arabia against Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk seemed to contribute to his decision to leave boxing for good, especially after he lost the match.

“I’ve been away from my wife and kids for three months. I’ve not spoken to Paris at all in three months. I've sacrificed a lot," Tyson said in a December 2024 interview with Dev Sahni.

His retirement announcement came in a video he shared on Instagram weeks later in January 2025.

“Hi everybody, I am going to make this short and sweet. I would like to announce my retirement from boxing. It’s been a blast, I’ve loved every single minute of it. And I am going to end with this: Dick Turpin wore a mask,” he said.

In January 2026, Tyson announced he was coming out of retirement to face Makhmudov that April.

Their family has a reality show

At Home With the Furys was first announced at the Edinburgh TV Festival in August 2022 as a multipart series on Netflix. It follows their family with a focus on Tyson's retirement. Tyson’s father, former professional boxer John Fury, brother Tommy Fury and his fiancée Molly-Mae Hague are also featured on the show.

Speaking with JOE.ie, Paris opened up about what it was like filming the project.

“I remember the beginning, thinking like I was gonna be so perfect all the time, I remember thinking like I didn’t want to put on a falseness but I wanted to look nice," she said.

Paris continued: “I wanted to wake up in the morning and put my makeup on and I'll make sure the place is tidy, and that went out the window after like the first week.”

Still, she believes fans will enjoy the show because it's genuine. “I think people really gravitate toward these shows because it’s real, if it’s real then you would watch it,” Paris added.

The reality series was renewed for a third season in March 2026, per Deadline.
