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.”
