As their daughter Venezuela becomes engaged to her boxer fiancé Noah Price, Tyson and Paris Fury’s wedding day in 2008 is captured here.
When Tyson Fury’s 16-year-old daughter Venezuela announced her engagement to boxing hopeful Noah Price, many were shocked by her nuptial news. But it’s little wonder why Tyson, also known as the Gypsy King, rushed to the defence of Venezuela and her soon to be husband, as he first met Paris when he was only 17 and she was a mere 15 years old.
Four years later, when the boxing champ turned 21, he walked down the aisle and married 19-year-old Paris. And although their throwback pictures show them looking loved up, they’ve revealed that it was a very different story just a few months before their big day.
Paris’ previous disclosure revealed that she had called it quits on their engagement because the couple had not agreed on the wedding day. Although Paris objected, Tyson was determined to schedule the wedding for the summer of 2008.
In her 2021 memoir, Love and Fury, she criticized their disagreement saying, “My fiance clearly didn’t understand the amount of planning and organization that went into a wedding.” He had become incredibly impulsive, the type of person who preferred to make decisions while living in the moment.
She added: “In Tyson’s world, our big day could be rescheduled on a whim, just like one of his boxing matches. I was having none of it, though, and refused point blank to change the date. As tensions simmered between us, I soon found myself reaching breaking point. It was one conflict after another and after an ugly slanging match with him outside Mam’s house, I decided to call time on the wedding and our relationship.”
He initially believed I was joking, but when I dropped the big bombshell, he realized I was seriously.
Paris responded, “I simply couldn’t take any more, I told him. We were done, in my opinion. Our relationship was ended.
Tyson wanted a summer wedding because he had missed the Beijing Olympics, which gave him a lot more flexibility. Tyson soon realized how wrong he was and expressed his feelings to Paris via text message while they were on a lads’ getaway to Ibiza.
She acknowledged in her autobiography that “He sent me an emotionally charged text. He said he couldn’t bear the idea of meeting someone else and that he couldn’t believe we had ended our relationship so easily.
He cautioned me that if I ever married, he would attend the church to halt the ceremony as he finished the message. I was angry. I kept saying, “You creep,” as I deleted the message. Talk about eating your cake at the same time. “How dare you. “
Tyson was fortunate that Paris’ anger subsided and the two got married in a Catholic church in Doncaster. Paris also revealed in her book that Tyson had not reserved a hotel room for their wedding night.
She continued, “Tyson entered a hotel in the town center after their wedding and requested a nightly room reservation.” She said, “I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.”
