WITH 15 years of marriage, seven kids and a multi-million pound family fortune to their names, Tyson and Paris Fury have an envious set up.
Paris was just 15 when she met Tyson – an unknown 17-year-old boxer back then – and their relationship has always stuck to the strict traditional Traveller values they both grew up with.

The pair – who welcomed their seventh child, Prince Rico Paris Fury, earlier this year – are extremely proud of their roots and the “old-fashioned” lifestyle that often come with it.
And that includes marrying young as well as a ban on sex before marriage.
Paris, now 33, once revealed: “We didn’t sleep together until after we got married.
“Even after we got engaged, Tyson would sleep in a caravan at my parents’ home, while I slept inside the house.
“That is the travellers’ way.”

However, while they remain tight-lipped about certain parts of their private life, that’s not to say Tyson doesn’t like to shock his fans from time to time with some very outlandish and, at times, pretty shocking admissions.
He’s certainly not one to hold back when it comes to discussing his ‘history’…
Tyson’s ‘one regret’
While Paris and Tyson met at a mutual friend’s wedding as teens, it wasn’t until a year later they began dating, after their paths crossed again on a night out in Doncaster, South Yorks.
And in Paris’s case, Tyson has always been her one and only – her first love – and the pair have been by each others’ side through thick and thin ever since.
She said: “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 wishes he could say the same.
Speaking to Boxing News online, he’s admitted: “The only thing I ever regret in life is having sex before marriage.
“If I could erase that then my life would be practically perfect.”

In fact, while his one regret is sex before marriage, it’s one mistake he admittedly made on more than a few occasions, if this confession is anything to go by…
Speaking in 2015, he said: “I must have had sex with over 500 women, more, I don’t know, I’ve lost count.
“I regret all the filth that you do with people… It’s pure filth and horribleness.
“I look at that now as pure disgusting.
“I’m not a religious person, but I like to help people and do good things. I’m stopping all the bad stuff.
“I’ve packed in the drinking and going out. I can get up now, go and take the kids somewhere on a Saturday morning rather than being in bed till 12 o’clock.”
Testosterone tricks
In 2020 ahead of his big rematch against Deontay Wilder and while discussing the pre-fight tactics he calls on before hand Tyson made a very intimate revelation.
Discussing the work he’d been doing to get ready for the ring, he said: “I’m eating five/six meals a day, drinking eight litres of water.
“If it’s gonna give me an edge, I’m willing to try it.
“I’m masturbating seven times a day to keep my testosterone pumping.”
The aim? To give him the ‘upper hand’ in his bid to become WBC world heavyweight champ.
And it seemingly worked, with Tyson winning the fight in the seventh round.

It’s not the only time the boxer made such a wild claim like that either.
He reportedly wrote on Twitter in 2011 that sex helped his muscle tone and fitness levels and has said previously how he ‘normally’ has sex four or five times a week – sometimes three times a day.
And speaking to Behind The Gloves, he revealed: “I like having sex, lots of it.
“At minimum, sex is 60 to 130 minutes, so then I get a good sweat on and treat it as a workout as well.”

However, in 2021 before taking on arch rival Deontay Wilder again, he took on an entirely different approach – a bout of celibacy.
He said: “No s******g before fights? Nah, that’s a myth, don’t believe it.
“But my d*** will be in my pants. It’s in there more or less full-time but it might be coming out after the fight.
“I don’t believe in sex in training camp, I am an old school fighter and I like to keep nice and strong, keep it all in the tank and then take out all the aggression on the night.
“I’m not relieving myself once a week, let alone once or seven times a day. I don’t even remember when I had my last w***.”
Boudoir ban
While Paris has admitted she hates being ringside and watching her hubby fight, she’s always nearby whenever else he needs support.
However, in the past she’s been banned from spending time with her beau ahead of his fights.
Prior to Tyson’s previous huge rematch against Deontay Wilder, Paris told IFL TV reporters she was banned from his Las Vegas accommodation.
She said: “I’ve been barred from the house. I don’t quite understand.
“The boys are all there and they’ve all said it’s a serious fight.
“But I don’t think they realise that I’ve been here for 11 years and I understand all the rules and regulations of nights before fights, so I’m just going along with it.”

Despite all the explicit ‘trash talk’ over the years, Tyson knows where his priorities lie, and touchingly his number one focus is always keeping wife Paris happy.
When asked about the secret to their long lasting relationship, Tyson said: “The only person you need to make happy is your wife.
“Because everybody else will always have a different opinion – but they don’t have to live with you.
“The one person you have to keep happy is that wife because if you’ve got a happy wife, you’ll have a happy life.”
