Watching your husband going 12 rounds in a bid to become undisputed heavyweight champion of the world is never going to be the easiest – and Paris Fury has sensationally admitted she wasn’t ringside to watch the Gypsy King in Saudi Arabia last night.

Posting to Instagram today, sharing a photo of the couple shortly after they were married in 2008, she told Tyson, who lost on points to Oleksandr Usyk in the historic match at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, that she would ‘never not be at your side for a fight again’.

Yesterday the mother-of-seven, who has been with the 6ft 9 boxer since they met at a wedding in 2005 when he was 17 and she was 15, had shared her anxiety in an Instagram post ahead of the fight, saying she was a ‘bag of nerves’. She later wasn’t pictured at the historic match, and admitted beforehand that she hated watching her husband in the ring. 

Today, she posted the photo of the couple in their younger years, writing: ’19 and 20 on this newly married, love him more than ever, best man in my eyes. ‘Will never not be at your side for a fight again. Even though I couldn’t be there, I wished I was.’ 

 

Mother-of-seven Paris Fury took to Instagram today to say she couldn’t watch her husband’s fight of the century in Riyadh, and vowed to always be by his side for future fights, after clearly regretting the decision to stay away

 

Paris also shared a caption using the traditional marriage vows in her post, after admitting she regretted not being by her husband’s side in Saudi

 

Tyson’s wife Paris was nowhere to be seen ahead of the match, staying quiet on socials except to share a reel of her husband, in which she admitted she was a ‘bag of nerves’.Paris then added in the traditional ‘to have and to hold’ marriage vows to the post. Posting a reel yesterday of Tyson holding a ‘victory cigar’ between his lips before the fight, she captioned the video: ‘[He’s] Calm as you like, and I’ve been a bag of nerves all day’. 

The 34-year-old had been honest with reporters too about hating watching her husband fight. She said: ‘I hate it 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?’ – she shares.
