Paris Fury breaks silence after missing Tyson fight

Paris Fury has expressed heartfelt support for her husband, Tyson Fury, whose bid to secure the undisputed worldwide heavyweight champion title concluded in a loss. The Gypsy King was outreached by Oleksandr Usyk with a split decision at the contest which took place on Saturday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This event marked an unprecedented defeat in Tyson's career.

Being frequently present ringside cheering for her husband, Paris was notably absent on this occasion, a fact that did not go unnoticed by fans watching from the UK. Numerous enquiries popped up on social media platforms such as "Where's Paris? " and requests like "Can we see Paris please?"

Maintaining a low profile on her Instagram during the match, she later shared an emotional message in support of Tyson vowing, "never not be at your side for a fight again". She did not elaborate on the reasons for her absence at this particular event.

Subsequently, Paris posted a throwback picture of them as newlyweds when she turned 19 and Tyson was in his early twenties. Her caption read: "Love him more than ever, best man in my eyes.", reports the Manchester Evening News. Commenting on her noteworthy absence from the match, Paris went on to say: "Will never not be at your side for a fight again. Even though I couldn't be there, I wished I was." To conclude her series of posts, she shared a line from customary wedding vows emphasizing their bond of matrimony - "til death do us part', according to God's holy law".

Paris shared some behind-the-scenes videos of her husband Tyson preparing for his boxing match on Saturday, May 18. One clip featured Tyson with his so-called "victory cigar". Paris added the caption: "Calm as you like, and I've been a bag of nerves all day".

Meanwhile, Oleksandr Usyk's wife Yekaterina was snapped embracing her victorious husband after the match. Dressed to kill in a cream trouser suit, Yekaterina spent time posing for pictures with her friends before the bout began.

Following the fight, Tyson voiced his thoughts and claimed the judges were swayed in Usyks favour due to the ongoing conflict in his home country. "I believe I won that fight. I think he won a few of those rounds but I won the majority of them," Fury contended, stating further: "His country is at war, so people are siding with the country atwar. Make no mistake, I won that fight in my opinion." A rematch clause set in their agreement indicates the two boxers will clash again in October. The winner will then take on Anthony Joshua next.
