Tyson Fury has revealed that his wife Paris suffered a miscarriage six months into her pregnancy and learned the truth the night before losing his world heavyweight title unification fight against Oleksandr Usyk in May.
Fury insisted that the loss of his son should not be used to hide the fact that Usyk won the match and that his main concern was not being able to be with his wife. “She lost [the baby] The Friday fight was really bad,” Fury said Wednesday afternoon.
“I'm not making excuses but she was six months pregnant. At first it doesn't seem like a small miscarriage. You have to physically give birth to a stillborn child while your husband is abroad. I can't be there for her at that moment and it's hard for me. I've been with that girl longer than I've been with her, so it's hard not being able to be with her.
An excited Fury spoke at a press conference in London hours before he and Uzbek attended. Their rematch, as epic as their first fight was to create one of the biggest heavyweight fights in recent memory, will take place on December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Fury admitted that even before receiving the shocking news of the miscarriage, she began to fear the worst.
“When he said he couldn't come, I knew there was a problem. He usually comes out the week of the fight, but he couldn't because he had high blood pressure. I asked him what he had, but he didn't say. Then I knew.”
He spoke calmly and calmly and repeated himself. “I know. I knew there was a problem. I told my brother: You've lost that child. She didn't tell me she'd lost the baby, but I knew. When I returned, I received the inevitable confirmation that she was gone, but she kept it to herself.
Fury added that Turki Alalshik, head of the Public Entertainment Authority, which has driven Saudi Arabia's quest to control boxing, offered to take the boxer's wife to Riyadh. “Durgi offered us a private jet to treat high blood pressure and said he would bring the doctor with him. But when I found out I couldn't fly, I knew there was a big problem.
Speaking of his wife's ordeal, Fury said: “It's not good to go through this yourself.”

He reiterated that his personal tragedy should not be confused with his loss to Usyk. “It's not an excuse – hell no! I am an honorable man. When I'm inside I do what I have to do [the ring]. I don't think about that kind of stuff when I'm in that fight. Nothing matters outside the ring, no emotion. You think about everything later.”
Fury, who had already traveled to Paris with seven children, confirmed that they had lost a small child: “We have had miscarriages before, it happens. Will we have more children? I don't know if he's gone back to normal since then. It takes a lot to get over it. But now there's nothing wrong, because I'm going to cry.
