The heartbreaking reason Tyson Fury decided to cut contact from his family for three months ahead of rematch with Oleksandr Usyk - as wife Paris says 'I can't lie it's been difficult'


The boxer, 36, claimed earlier this week that he had not spoken to Paris for three months as he locked himself away for his training camp this time round in order to stay focused and win.

Paris is in Riyadh for the fight, which will take place on Saturday night, seven months on from their first bout, which saw the Ukrainian inflict the Gypsy King's first defeat of his professional career. On the eve of Tyson's fight against Oleksandr Usyk in May, a stoic Paris selflessly endured the agony of having to 'give birth to a dead child' alone, so that the boxer could focus on his bout, which was held thousands of miles away in Saudi Arabia. He ultimately lost the fight, relinquishing his WBC world heavyweight title to the Ukrainian boxer, before returning home to England and realising his worst fears had been confirmed.
