Paris Fury reveals why husband Tyson decided to cut off from his family for THREE MONTHS ahead of rematch with Oleksandr Usyk as his wife insists they have still not spoken despite both being in Saudi Arabia

Paris Fury has opened up on not speaking to husband Tyson for a number of months as he prepares for his highly-anticipated rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

Paris is in Riyadh for the fight, which will take place on Saturday night, seven months on from their first bout, which saw the Ukrainian inflict the Gypsy King’s first defeat of his professional career.

In the build-up, he revealed he has not spoken to Paris or his children for three months as he locked himself away for his training camp, yet Paris ensured she was in attendance to support her husband of 16 years ahead of his blockbuster showdown in the final press conference.

Speaking about his training camp, Tyson 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.’

Paris, meanwhile, has now opened up on the separation, revealing the struggles she has gone through in order to try and help her husband be successful in the ring.

Speaking to ifltv, she revealed how Tyson made the decision himself in order to try and get revenge over his opponent.

Fury will take on Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk in a heavyweight title rematch on Saturday night

The duo are both currently in Saudi Arabia, but have still not spoken prior to the fight

‘I don’t think he’s spoken to a lot of people this time around,’ she said. ‘I’ve not seen him like this since the Deontay Wilder rematch, that was the last time I’ve seen Tyson in this mood. I can’t give you much insight because we haven’t spoken for weeks and weeks and weeks.

‘It is true. After the last fight, everything that went on personally in our lives and Tyson had the outcome of last time, he decided this on his own and I had to support him. He didn’t want tot be involved in family life, he has cut himself off for the last few months, put himself in a serious condition and he looks very detemrined. If it is what needed to be then God willing tomorrow night it will all come out and all be good and be worth while.’

Paris was sat in the crowd for the final press conference, but has still not spoken to her husband. His calm demeanor was somewhat lifted when he launched a verbal attack on Usyk after a stare down that lasted over 11 minutes, but Paris has backed her husband to get the job done on Saturday.

‘It has been very difficult, I can’t lie,’ she said. ‘I supported him in the decision, but it is not the greatest thing to not talk to your husband for a long time. 

‘But I am looking at him, it was the first time I saw him yesterday, we still haven’t spoken. I was sat 10 foot away from him and we have barely made eye contact but I can see, I think in my heart , it has paid off.’
