Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury was left visibly shaken after his family’s private jet with wife Paris and their seven children was forced to do an emergency landing
Tyson Fury has revealed he was left ‘terrified’ after the private jet he and his family were flying on was forced to make an emergency landing due to a mechanical issue mid-flight.
The retired heavyweight boxing champion, 37, had been travelling with his wife Paris Fury, 35, and their seven children shortly after the couple renewed their wedding vows for a third time in France.
The celebratory trip quickly turned into a distressing experience when the aircraft encountered a technical fault shortly after takeoff. It comes after Tyson said he was ‘living the dream’ as he recreated his first dance with Paris at their third wedding.

According to Fury, the plane had flown approximately 100 miles before the pilot alerted passengers that there was a malfunction involving one of the aircraft’s wings.
Speaking to his followers via Instagram Stories, the legendary boxer recounted the unnerving moment.
He explained: “So, we’ve travelled 100 miles on the plane and the captain’s come over to me and said, ‘we’ve got to turn this plane around because there’s a problem with one of the wings and it won’t fix on the computer so we gotta try and get back and turn around’.”
Fury, who has been open in the past about his struggles with anxiety and mental health, admitted that the situation deeply unsettled him.
“Talk about totally sh***ing yourself. So we’re now spinning the plane around and going back to the airport where we started. Terrifying,” he added, as he looked visibly shaken while filming from inside the cabin.
Video clips posted to social media show members of the Fury family onboard the jet as it turns back toward its departure point. Tyson captioned one of the videos simply writing: “bad news.”
The scary incident occurred shortly after Tyson and his wife celebrated a significant personal milestone.
The couple, who first married in 2008, recently renewed their vows in an intimate ceremony held in the South of France. Only their children were present at the event, which took place in a small, scenic church.
Paris wore a white bespoke gown by Self-Portrait, while Tyson opted for a more casual look, pairing a cream shirt with white shorts and sandals. The couple shared a series of photos from the day with Fury’s 6.7 million Instagram followers.
In the post, Tyson gushed: “Paris Fury and I got married again; third time lucky. We had the most beautiful day in the South of France, it holds a lot of special memories for us.” The sweet video was set to Bruno Mars’ 2011 track “Marry You.”
The couple’s seven children – Venezuela, 15, Prince John James, 13, Prince Tyson II, 9, Valencia, 7, Prince Adonis Amaziah, 6, Athena, 4, and Prince Rico, 2, – were all present for the special occasion, marking another family milestone for the Fury family.
Tyson, also known as The Gypsy King, announced his retirement from professional boxing in 2022 after an undefeated career.
He has since remained in the public eye through reality TV appearances, business ventures, and continued interaction with fans via social media.
