Tyson Fury is a British boxer who rose to prominence after defeating Wladimir Klitschko in a world heavyweight showdown to claim the unified WBA, WBO, IBO, IBF, and the Ring Titles in November 2015. The defeat of Klitschko shot Fury into stardom and established him as a formidable boxer in the heavyweight division. The Gypsy King became a two-time heavyweight champion like Muhammad Ali and Floyd Patterson after he defeated Deontay Wilder in February 2020. Presently, he is ranked as the world’s best active heavyweight by ESPN and BoxRec.
Away from his boxing career, the heavyweight champion is in a marital relationship with Paris Fury, with whom he has been legally bound since 2008. The union is as fierce as Tyson’s career; the pair is blessed with six beautiful kids and they are likely to have more in the future. Let’s find out more about Paris Fury and their six beautiful kids.

Paris Fury was born in 1989 in Doncaster, South Yorkshire to the Mulroy’s, a traditional gypsy family. She was raised alongside her sister Lynda Mulroy with whom she shares a close relationship. Presently, she is a model, TV personality, and author. She is known for her guest appearances on the British talk show “Loose Women” and for starring alongside her family on ITV’s documentary, Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King.
The documentary showed an intimate portrait of Tyson’s marriage to Paris and their life with their kids. Additionally, she published a book called “Love & Fury: The Magic and Mayhem of Life with Tyson.” on October 28th, 2021. The book unveils the secret about her life with the heavyweight boxing champ.
Paris met the heavyweight champion at a mutual friend’s wedding at the age of 15 in London, when Tyson was introduced to her by his aunt, who requested that he “meet a young lady”. Interestingly, Paris took Tyson for an older man because of his gigantic physique, however, this did not stop her from chatting with him. A year later, on Paris’s 16th birthday, the pair met again and eventually started dating making Tyson her first boyfriend. After years of dating, the couple officiated their relationship with wedding rings in a large ceremony held on November 8th, 2008.
The wedding ceremony was graced by more than 300 guests in an intimate ceremony at the Chains Catholic Church in Doncaster, England. Following the Irish traveler’s tradition, a minority ethnic group that mostly lives in U.K. and Ireland, the couple were not allowed to sleep together until the wedding night. Paris admitted in an interview in 2015, that Tyson was forced to sleep in a caravan while she slept inside her parent’s home. The union is blessed with six children and perhaps more kids are on their way as it seems like the couple is on a mission to birth a football team.
Throughout their 14 years of marital relationship, the couple has stood together and helped each other overcome their challenges. Tyson admitted in an interview that the thought of his wife and children kept him from taking his own life in the summer of 2016. He also admitted that he hasn’t been “the best husband in the world.”
“And to get a woman who’s been with you all that time and gone through the bulls***. 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. And like I say, without having that person, [I would] probably want to be dead anyway.” He further likened his marriage to boxing, he stated “Boxing is like a marriage – you have to work at it. You do fall in and out of love. “But I have spiced it back up again, bought her some sexy lingerie and we are back at it, better than ever.”
With every challenge they overcome, they come out stronger and happier than ever. After years of marriage to the heavyweight champion, Paris has developed some presentable knowledge about the sport. She often accompanies her husband whenever he steps into the ring and is undoubtedly his number 1 fan.
Similarly, she played a significant role in her husband’s comeback into the ring when the heavyweight champion was just about to give up in 2015. The heavyweight champion stated in an interview “My biggest mentor in my career is probably my wife. Because without her, I would have probably gone AWOL a long time ago. I’ve been AWOL anyway plenty of times but I’ve always had that loving wife relationship, sort of the backbone.” Much thanks to Paris Fury for returning the heavyweight champion, the Gypsy king back to the ring.
