Paris Fury broke her silence after tragically suffering a miscarriage the day before her husband Tyson’s heavyweight loss to Oleksandr Usyk in Dubai in May.
The mother, 35, described how her world was “shattered” by the loss of the couple’s eighth child, a six-month-old boy, but decided not to tell the boxer before their big fight.
Paris said The mirror: ‘I had to make the decision, shall I tell you? And I came to the conclusion that whatever was happening to me, I couldn’t change it. But it could dramatically change what was happening in your life.’
Paris explained that she learned the terrible news during a routine gender scan, when no heartbeat was found and she was then forced to give birth to her deceased son naturally, while praising the staff at Lancaster Hospital for your support.
Determined not to tell Tyson, 36, over the phone, she kept the news a secret until he returned to the UK after the match, despite his pleas for her to join him in Saudi Arabia.

The mother described how her world was “shattered” by the loss of the couple’s eighth child, a son, aged six months, but decided not to tell the boxer before his big fight.
The couple are parents to Venezuela, 14, Prince John James, 12, Prince Tyson II, eight, Valencia, six, Prince Adonis Amaziah, five, and Athena, three.
“It affects the father, but for the woman carrying that child it is more serious. No matter how much it hurts Tyson, it’s ten times worse for me. But while I had time to process the idea, it took him days to come to grips with the funeral. He said, “I can’t do it now,” he said.

The devastating loss marked the couple’s third miscarriage and they buried their baby privately, choosing to remain silent, before Tyson shared the news publicly last month.
Offering advice to other mothers who have suffered a miscarriage, she said: ‘At that moment I feel like your world is shattered. But I know everyone can get through it. And what is so traumatic one day becomes a memory. You know, you had that little piece of life, even if it was such a short time. Mentally I am calm with what happened. “Physically I am fine.”
Sadly, this isn’t the first time Paris has suffered a miscarriage without telling Tyson for fear of upsetting him before a fight.
Four years ago, she admitted to keeping her 2018 miscarriage a secret from her husband because she was due to make her long-awaited return to the boxing ring after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus.
During an appearance on This Morning, Paris recalled how she sat “crying alone” in her car after finding out and had to “grin and bear it” because she felt she had to “keep it all together” before Tyson’s big comeback fight. .
She told then-presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby: “It started a couple of days before a fight and it was too early for him to get back in the ring and it was early but I had to keep it to myself…

In 2021, Paris candidly shared the “devastating” pain she felt after losing two babies on her path to parenthood.
“I had to grin and bear it, I had to sit alone in the car, crying alone… I’m trying to stay calm because I’m the glue of the home,” she continued.
Paris found out about her miscarriage the same day Tyson made his long-awaited return after three years out of the ring against Sefer Seferi in June 2018, but she didn’t tell her husband until he raised his hand.
Four years before her miscarriage, Paris gave birth to a stillborn baby in 2014, when she was five months pregnant, and has said “it’s something I’ll never get over.”
In 2021, Paris candidly shared the “devastating” pain she felt after losing two babies on her path to parenthood.
After enduring a stillbirth in 2014 and then suffering a devastating miscarriage at eight weeks, shortly before Tyson’s return in 2018, she decided again not to tell her husband right away.
For Baby Loss Awareness Week, Paris reached out to those who have been through a similar situation and candidly shared how “alone” she felt after suffering a miscarriage and stillbirth.
