PARIS Fury has confessed her nerves for Tyson’s big fight tonight by saying the brawl “can’t come quick enough”.
The mum-of-seven is currently in Saudi Arabia to watch her heavyweight husband face Oleksandr Usyk in one of the biggest fights in boxing history.
Paris, 34, and Tyson, 35, have been together since they were teenagers – but she has been very open about her dislike towards his career.
Unlike Paris, boxing fans are eagerly awaiting the first undisputed heavyweight bout in almost 25 years.
Despite her nerves, she took to Instagram earlier today to praise Tyson’s fans.
She dubbed supporters of the Gypsy King as the “best in the world”.
“They’ve all come to Saudi Arabia to watch the Gypsy King,” she penned.
The couple’s eldest son Prince John James, 11, has also joined them in Riyadh to support his dad.
“My prince and his big cousins loving this week,” Paris shared alongside a picture of the pre-teen on her Instagram stories.
Her six other children with Tyson are Venezuela, 14, Prince Tyson II, seven, Valencia, five, Prince Adonis Amaziah, five, Athena, two and baby Rico, eight months.
Tyson’s co-promoter Bob Arum claims the WBC heavyweight king is set to earn in excess of £80m for his dances with Usyk.
But despite the handsome payday, Paris says she “hates” watching her 6ft 7 husband take to the ring.
“I hate it,” she previously said. “I’ve got to be truthful, that’s the flat out answer.
“I support him but I don’t enjoy it.
“I hate being there, but on the other hand, I feel like I have to be there.
“I feel like, if I’m not there, what happens if something goes wrong and I’m not with him.
“So, that’s the brutality of the sport and that is the fact of it.
“You really are taking your life in your hands every time you go in there and unfortunately, that’s what he loves to do and that’s just his passion in life, so I’ve got to support him for it.
“But I don’t enjoy a minute of it.”
Paris and Tyson met in 2006 and married in 2008, the same year he made his professional boxing debut.
She has supported every one of his fights and has vowed to never miss one, even previously attending them while heavily pregnant.
“When Tyson used to fight at the beginning it was more of a novelty as Tyson never got punched,” she told talkSPORT in 2021.
“If you look at Tyson now, he still has a straight nose… for boxers, that’s pretty rare!
“And as the years went by and he fought the higher opposition, then he’ll get hit back – and that’s when it became horrible.”
