It’s been a long camp. Been away from my wife and kids for three months. I have not spoken to Paris in three months, not one word. Yeah, I sacrificed a lot.

Fury had previously revealed that his wife, Paris, suffered a miscarriage six months into her pregnancy. The fighter learned the truth the night before he lost his world heavyweight title against Oleksandr Usyk in May. However, Fury didn’t use this as an excuse and gave the Ukrainian his due credit.

Oleksandr Usyk’s hilarious response regarding Tyson Fury
Oleksandr Usyk‘s rise to the top of the heavyweight division is an incredible feat that demands the utmost respect. The former undisputed cruiserweight champion seamlessly transitioned to heavyweight and defeated bigger opponents like Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, etc. His southpaw stance, relentless pace, and ability to adapt mid-fight have made him a force to reckon with.

I think we would go to pub, drinking beer. After we go to play golf. Then we go to play football. Then we go to horse.
