Childhood sweethearts Tyson and Paris are one of the most beloved in the sporting industry, and their relationship dates back to their teens.

Both Paris and Tyson came from humble beginnings. Paris was raised as a traveller in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, while Tyson had a similar upbringing in Wythenshaw, Manchester.

Paris met Fury when she was just 15 at a mutual friend’s wedding.

However, it wasn’t until a year later, when their paths crossed again on a night out in Doncaster for her 16th birthday, that they began dating.

Paris explained: “He was my first boyfriend as I was not allowed a boyfriend until the age of 16. He is the only boyfriend I have had.

“Tyson would train in boxing during the week and then come and see me at the weekend. I would always be so excited at the thought of seeing him.”

Before they struck rich, Tyson popped the question with a plastic engagement ring while saving up for the real thing.

Speaking in footage aired for his Gypsy King documentary, Tyson explained, “It took me three years to save up to get married.”

In 2008, they tied the knot in front of 400 guests and slept together for the first time on the night of their wedding.

“Even after we got engaged, Tyson would sleep in a caravan in the yard of my parents’ home, while I slept inside the house,” she once revealed.

“We didn’t sleep together until after we got married. That is the traveller’s way.”

Paris and Tyson have six children together; Venezuela, Prince John James, Prince Tyson Fury II, Valencia Amber, Prince Adonis Amaziah and baby Athena.

In March, Tyson revealed that he and wife Paris are expecting their seventh child.

Despite Tyson being the highest-paid fighter of 2020 with £46million earned and a reported wealth of £70m, the family live in a modest £550,000 home in Morecambe.

Lucky Paris gets to frequently jet around the world with her hot-shot hubby, diligently watching each and every one of his boxing matches from beside the ring.

She and the kids frequently fly to far-flung destinations like LA and Las Vegas to accompany Tyson to his fights.

The whole family makes the most of the trips abroad, squeezing in everything from shopping sprees on notoriously posh shopping hotspot Rodeo Drive to days out at Disney World.

And that’s not all – the couple also enjoy taking luxurious holidays together.

The couple have made no secret of their desire to have a big family, with Tyson declaring they want 11 children.

In her book, Love and Fury: The Magic and Mayhem of Life with Tyson, Paris said: “Tyson and I had always intended to carry on the great Traveller tradition and have a big family: three children at the very least, we’d say to each other, maybe even ten if we were lucky.”
