British super heavyweight Tyson Fury has revealed that a tragedy has struck his family ahead of his world title fight against Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.
According to "Gypsy King," his wife, Paris, lost a baby six months pregnant on Friday before the fight.
"She lost the baby on the Friday before the fight, which was pretty fucked up. She was six months pregnant. It's not like a miscarriage. She had to deliver a stillborn baby alone while her husband was in another country. I couldn't be there for her at that point. It's very hard.
She said she couldn't make it the week of the fight, at that moment I realized there was a problem. I asked her to tell me what it was, but she didn't say anything. She did not say that she lost the baby, but I guessed," said Fury.
Recall that the fight between Alexander and Tyson took place on May 18 in Riyadh. The Ukrainian won by a split decision of the judges.
