Paris and Tyson Fury have been married for 15 years after tying the knot in November 2008 at St Peter-In-Chains Roman Catholic Church in Doncaster, but the pair actually called off their wedding weeks before walking down the aisle.
The childhood sweethearts believed their November wedding date would perfectly tie in with the professional boxer’s schedule, taking into account the European Championships and the Beijing Olympics. However, Tyson wanted to move the wedding forward by several months after he didn’t get a spot at the Olympics.
The resulting arguments over their wedding date proved to be too much for then-19-year-old Paris, who reached “breaking point” and decided to split from her “impulsive” partner.
She explained in her book, Love and Fury: “My fiancé clearly didn’t understand the amount of planning and organisation that went into a wedding. I was beginning to realise how incredibly impulsive he was, the sort of person who lived life in the moment and liked to make decisions on the hoof.
