British heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury has disclosed that he has not spoken to his wife, Paris Fury, for three months.
This period of silence comes as Fury isolates himself in preparation for his highly anticipated rematch against Oleksandr Usyk, scheduled for December 21st in Saudi Arabia.
Fury, known for his charismatic personality and formidable presence in the ring, has taken an extreme approach to his training regimen. "It's been a long camp," Fury admitted, emphasizing the sacrifices he has made. "I haven't seen my wife and kids in three months. I haven't spoken to [my wife] at all in three months. Not one word, sacrificed a lot. But it'll all be worth it, 100 percent."
The upcoming bout is a chance for Fury to avenge his only professional defeat, which he suffered at the hands of Usyk in their first encounter last May.
The Ukrainian fighter narrowly claimed victory by split decision, becoming boxing's first four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion. Adding a poignant layer to Fury's story, it was revealed that Paris experienced a miscarriage just a day before the initial fight with Usyk.
In a heart-wrenching decision, she chose not to inform Fury until after the match, fabricating a health-related excuse to avoid burdening him. "I had to make the decision, do I tell him? And I came to the conclusion that whatever was happening with me, I couldn't change it. But I could change dramatically what was happening in his life," Paris shared.
Despite the personal challenges, Fury remains focused on his goal. He has expressed a strong determination to end Usyk's career, stating, "I'll end his career, this will be, you'll never hear about Oleksandr Usyk again after this."
The rematch promises to be a thrilling spectacle, with both fighters eager to prove themselves. As Fury prepares to step back into the ring, the world watches closely, anticipating whether his sacrifices will lead to redemption.
For Nigerian fans and boxing enthusiasts worldwide, the Fury vs. Usyk rematch is set to be broadcast live, offering a front-row seat to what could be one of the most fights in recent heavyweight history.
