Tyson Fury has revealed he has not had any contact with his wife of 16 years in the last three months as he prepares for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk this weekend.
Fury is set to face Usyk for the second time in seven months on Saturday night after losing to the Ukrainian on points in their first fight in May.
And there can be little doubt as to how seriously Fury is taking the fight as he plots his revenge.
Speaking about his training camp, Fury told TNT Sports presenter Dev Sahni: ‘It’s been a long camp. Been away from my wife and kids for three months, I’ve not spoken to Paris at all for three months, not one word. Yeah, I’ve sacrificed a lot.’
Sahni responded that it would all be worth it if Fury wins the rematch, to which Fury replied: ‘It will be worth it, 100 per cent.’
Fury has been married to his wife, Paris, since 2008. The couple have seven children together, and she is often at ringside for his fights.
