Tyson Fury has revealed he hasn’t spoken to his wife, Paris Fury, in three months as he prepares to return to boxing against Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night.
The 36-year-old lost the first bout with the Ukrainian back in May, with Usyk winning via split decision.
Fury will be the underdog when he returns to the ring on Saturday night, with the Briton eager to silence his critics.
The boxing star has been taking the fight extremely seriously and now, speaking to TNT Sports, he’s revealed he hasn’t spoken to Paris in three months.

“I’ll end his career, this will be, you’ll never hear about Oleksandr Usyk again after this,” he said.
“It’s been a long camp, [I] haven’t seen my wife and kids in three months. I haven’t spoken to [my wife] at all in three months.
“Not one word, sacrificed a lot. But it’ll all be worth it, 100 percent.”
Fury has been married to Paris since 2008, with the couple proceeding to have seven children together.
Tragedy struck before the first bout, with Paris sadly suffering a miscarriage as Fury prepared his clash with Usyk.
While he didn’t have official confirmation of the tragic news, Fury has previously revealed he ‘sensed’ something had happened before he suffered the first professional defeat of his career.
He said in October: “When she said she couldn’t come over, I knew there was a problem.”
The veteran added: “She said she couldn’t come and I asked her what was up and asked her to tell me but she wouldn’t.

“So I knew, I knew there was a problem. I said to my brother, ‘She’s lost that baby’.
“She never told me she had lost the baby, but I knew.”
Fury has suffered numerous setbacks throughout his career, only to bounce back every time.
His performance in his 2018 draw with Deontay Wilder remains one of his best displays and, on Saturday, he’ll be facing a man widely seen as the stronger fighter.
