Paris Fury (Tyson Fury’s wife) discusses life with a heavyweight champion, raising seven children, finances and “normality,” and the “dark side” of boxing—mental health, addiction, and the impact on partners and families. She also talks about her upbringing as a Traveller, meeting Tyson at 15/16, and why Netflix cameras return.
Paris Fury only (no other guest named in the transcript). Background: Tyson Fury’s wife; mother of seven; businesswoman; star of Netflix reality series At Home with the Furies (series two out; series three in progress). She describes her own mental-health perspective and her family’s Traveller background.
Boxing is “brutal,” but precautions exist (medical checks/brain scans). Tyson’s mental health episodes involved paranoia and psychosis-like beliefs; she frames mental illness as something to learn to live with, not “solve.” She describes addiction as a “blessing and a curse.” She emphasizes that depression/anxiety affects the whole “butterfly effect,” including wives and children.
The Deontay Wilder fight where Tyson was knocked down; Paris says she grabbed Tyson’s brother and even climbed over to help, believing she’d “peel him off the canvas.” She recounts Tyson’s suicidal thoughts, drinking/substance periods, and her own moments wanting to leave while keeping the kids sheltered. She also describes Tyson’s first major anxiety attack: believing people were trying to kill him and “Illuminati” involvement.

0:00I saw him go down, saw him, lights go out. Ten seconds felt like two minutes. It felt like it went on forever. I grabbed his brother, I said, climb over and get him, get him. I thought he ain't getting up. What were you going to do if you got to him? I presumed I was going to peel him off the canvas. Unfortunately, it is his life. It's an addiction. Was there a time when you wanted to run, wanted to leave? Yeah, I wanted to leave. He would come home crying, he would be depressed, he'd want to end his life. There'd be times when I'd look and think, I can't deal with this. I don't want to deal with this.
0:32Hi, I'm Paris Fury, and I'm in great company. Let's get it on! Tyson loves to sing at their boxing match. What's your karaoke song? Oh, you know which one it is. Tell me something, boy. Are you happy in this modern world? And if you at all, is there something else you're searching for? And that's all you're getting. He told me from being 17, I'm going to be the heavyweight champ of the world. And there was no second best. And he'd done it. And what I love about Tyson Wright is that he is so open about his mental health struggles. He believed people around him was trying to kill him. He believed that Illuminati was getting him.

Okay, here we go. Enjoy this episode of Great Company with Paris Fury. Paris, I'm so excited.
5:10Thank you. No, no, I like beyond excited. I'm such a fan of yours. Oh, of me? Great. In every single way. Firstly, because I'm a new dad. Yep. It's crazy. It is. It's hard work. And you've got seven. I know. We kept going back to the well. It's hard work. We kept going back to the well. We kept going back. I'm wishing and wishing wishing that it was getting easy and it didn't and they just multiplied i'm in as i said i'm in this stage now at the moment as a new dad which is where like you go through the beginning bit which is like quite nice and lovely and then suddenly it goes backwards and i'm that my baby doesn't sleep yeah i had that i had a two-year-old who still didn't sleep from the day i had the first two kids now i've got to say i was falsely deluded i had the first two kids they was the perfect examples of kids right you know they slept all night through i like they ate what you gave them.
5:57They sat quietly in high chairs. You could take them to any restaurant, do any road trip. Brilliant. Nice. Then I got Tyson Jr., who was well named. So he cried from the moment he was born, never slept the night through until he was like nearly three years old. I even took him back to the doctors. I was like, you know, I know you're not going to give me a refund for him, but he doesn't work proper. He cries all night long. I don't sleep. I haven't slept for years. And it's hard, hard work, but you come through it. As a parent, you just have to ride them hard bits and they are hard you know it is hard i imagine you and your partner will be really struggling with these sleepless nights especially when you're new and you haven't experienced it before but you know what you learn to live with very little sleep you do you can survive you can survive or nothing yeah i really did at one point it's i did start to malfunction a little my friend used to say you're like a malfunctioning barbie because the eye would be twitching and i'd be sitting there like but that's exactly what happens and then you don't really know what you're saying at times.
6:51That's what happens. Oh, that's embarrassing. You start your train of thought and you start a conversation. I look at my friends, why did I say that? Where was I going? But hey, just own it. We're parents. So your kids, you have Venezuela. Yep. Prince. Yeah. Prince Tyson II. Yes. Valencia. Yes. Prince Adonis. Yes. Athena. Yes. Prince Rico Paris. Yep. Prince John James. Did I know them all? I don't know if you said them in the right order, but it's open around there. Yeah, yeah. You lost me even there, but yeah, we have... Is it like when you have to know your phone number in the right order. No, the worst is, yeah, it's worse when you go to a doctor's and they say, what's the date of birth?
7:25And you look like the world's worst parent. You're like, it's not because I don't love them. There's just so many. Give me a minute. But it is, I have Venezuela, Prince, Tyson, Valencia, Adonis, Afina, Enrico. Yeah, that's seventh. That's it. But the boys do all have the same first name. The boys are all called Prince. Really confusing when you speak to a doctor. Yeah, and the reason for that is? Is because I was really high when I was giving birth to Prince. and he was going to be called John James all along. Very traditional, very nice names. And what were we high on? No, it was just, it was typical doctor medication you're allowed.
7:59That gas and air, right? It was like gas and air. I took that down. Don't worry, it's great stuff. Tyson had a go. You're not supposed to do that, you know. So anyway, we was calling him John James, and then I had him, and I looked and I thought, he don't look like a John James. So we was thinking of different names, and then Prince came up, and I was like, Prince, he has to be a prince, he's my prince. and then three days later I was like oh I named that baby Prince so that's how he got Prince Tyson tells another story because he's the dipsy king and these kids all got Prince because he's the king but to me that's how the story went and that was my side of it and then when we had another boy we found out we was having little Tyson he said well you can't call one a Prince without the other they've all got to be Prince and I said that's crazy you can't do that and he went no we'll just do it and like it's okay it won't matter and I thought well as long as we don't tell anyone and that didn't work either So yeah, we ended up with four princes.
8:50It's very confusing. And we've actually... It's so confusing. Yeah. And when you book a holiday as well, they actually think you're telling lies because you're like, yeah, Prince Fury, Prince Fury, Prince Fury. But yeah, go on. It is what it is. Okay. And then the girls are all named after places. No, my oldest girl is named after a place just because we love the name. I wanted to call her something unusual. She got Venezuela. Her dad thought of the name. and I kind of leaned with either call her after myself or call her something totally unique. Nice. So that was where Venezuela come. Valencia, we spent a lot of time in Spain at the time and we kept seeing it on the signs and it just come to us that that's going to be her name.
9:29And then Athena, we just liked the name and it seemed to go with Adonis. It was a really nice name. It has a bit of a meaning. It's the goddess of wisdom and war. And she came out a little fighter. She had a bad heart when she was born and it sort of suited her. to the fact that she got through everything. So, yeah, it's a little story for her. Because my baby's called Ziggy. Nice. And I know we don't want to talk, but that's where he was conceived in Ziggy Bay. Ah, right. No, wait, that's not the reason for mine. And we're not going there, are we? No, we're not. Don't worry, you're the boss, you already told me.
10:05We're not going there. So which one of your kids is most like you? I think my prince, the boy, he's the most like me. He's calm, he's placid, he's easygoing. The one Tyson looks like me, but is not in nature. And Venezuela is her dad reincarnated in nature. The little ones are all quite young at the moment, so they're just still molding. But for the older two, I think Venezuela's like her dad and Prince is like me. We've just met, right? Yeah. And I've watched your show at Home with the Furies, which is coming back for second series. And it's out now. It's out right now, right? It's such a great show.
10:41and I remember I think this is where I found your address afterwards very creepily somehow to send you some candy, candy and sweets because I was like I need to get this person in my life. Okay. Because you are... He was bribing us for sweets. Yeah, I was right. Come on, here's some sweets. Let's do something. But you are, even your presence energy, you have this amazing energy where you know exactly what you want to do. You're kind of the boss of your family in lots of ways. Have you always been like that ever since growing up? Yeah, all my life I've been I was raised by my mum I'm a dad, but my mum was a very confident woman My granny was a very confident woman And we was kind of brought up with the attitude You can do anything and be anything you want to be And I never seek people's approval in life Never?
11:26No, never I always try and be kind I always try and be compassionate to other people But I also know me and what I want to do And no one's going to change my opinions on that Wow And I've always been that way from being a young girl So from being like, you know, I came out of school at 11 and then I decided I wanted to go back to study. It was beauty therapy. I wanted to be a nail technician, massage, own my own salon, things like that. So at 14, I decided to walk to college, didn't really know the route of it. And I walked in, done the full day. And then at the end of the day, we went, how old are you?
11:56I'm 14. They went, you can't come here. You don't need to be here. You were joking. No, I went there. I was like, I want to, I want to do this. I want to study here. And they, they had me there for the full day. They must've thought I was older. And then there was like, how old are you? I was like, I'm 14. And they were like, no, you you can't be here you have to go away so I um yeah nothing deters me and whatever I want to do I set my mind to it and I sort of achieve it and I've got that kind of positive outlook on life but who instilled that within you because that's unique it's hard because we we doubt like we typically we doubt ourselves right but you and and we care what other people think and maybe you do deep down but it feels like you're just like no you're you have this strong sense of who you are as you said that's great yeah I do and I'm trying to push it into my kids it seems to be working And with Venezuela, it seems to work.
12:37And Prince, the little ones are quite young. But I don't know. I grew up in a very confident environment. We was always, you know, led to believe you can do anything, you can be anything. And I do have that belief in me. I do. And I'm one of them, like, I believe I could climb Mount Everest. I believe I could do sprints. I believe I could do somersaults and backflips. I can't do it right at this minute, but I know I could train to do it because someone else can do it, so I can do it. And do you truly believe anyone could do that if they put their mind to it? Yeah, I do. And I watched my husband do it.
13:04He told me from being 17, I'm going to be the heavyweight champ of the world. And there was no concessions. There was no second best. And he'd done it. And I watched him do it. And it was like, the two of us both have that nature where it's like, nothing's impossible. Nothing's out of reach. That's amazing. Your upbringing, though, was it traditional travellers' upbringing? Yeah. And explain that to me. It's hard to explain. I mean, you can't watch it or document it because what you'll see on TV is 90 % a load of rubbish about gypsies and travellers. Is it really? Yeah, literally 90 % is rubbish.
13:37They put it down as very, very old fashioned as in like women don't work. Men are the only ones that do. Because that is the narrative. Well, it's crazy because I'm a businesswoman sitting here today and I am as much gypsy as any other gypsy out there. We do have a very traditional value as in like mothers and marriage and try and stick to the traditional values. But there's also the side that people don't see. So to explain it, no, I can't, but it's just, we're a race of people that exist and have existed for thousands of years. Some's got bad names, some's got good names. I think what I would recommend is if you can spot them, they are probably the ones that give gypsies and travelers a bad name.
14:19It's the ones you don't see walking through the crowd that you would never pull out the crowd and pick out. But that's the same in any race of people. If you've got a loudmouth yobbo stood there with the tracksuit falling off and they're making a load of scenes, but I'm not going to say that's every non-gypsy out there. You've got good and bad in all races. And I think that's the only thing I could say from my point of view. But I think there's a lot out there that is negative press and negative assumption. Does that frustrate you? It does frustrate me. It is annoying. But there again, I can't take the worries of every person in the world.
14:54I just like people to take me for me. So what was the time when you first met Tyson? You were 15, right? I was 15 when I first met Tyson. He was at a mutual friend's wedding and he looked about 26 at the time and I was only 15. And his auntie introduced us, you know, like them old aunties that introduce you at weddings. So she comes over, oh, I need you to meet my nephew. So I looked up and I had a hat on and I'm like, by the time I got to the top of him to find him, I was like, oh, you're too old for me. So that was the moment past of that. And then we just kept bumping into each other over and over and over, just crossing paths.
15:29He was from Manchester. I was from Doncaster in Yorkshire. We shouldn't have keep bumping into each other, but we did. And then it was my 16th birthday. He didn't know who it was. Oh, he'd been on the phone thinking just I was a random girl. He didn't know who I was. He told me, I'm going to make you fall in love with me. Wait, sorry, sorry, wait. Sorry, wait, what do you mean? I was on the phone to like someone he knew. I was speaking and Tyson picked up the phone. I didn't know who it was, but afterwards I realized. And he went, I'm going to make you fall in love with me. And I thought, what an arrogant idiot.
15:56And time went by. And again, I was 16. My birthday was coming. And I had said like, oh, whoever like kind of knew me or whoever my friends was like, oh, we'll get everybody to go out down the town. We couldn't get in anywhere. I didn't drink. So like, I don't know what we was doing down the town, but we was being very big and mature for our age. so Tyson had heard a girl is having a party I'll go and his cousin kept bugging him to come through so he came through and it was me again and then Faith had it that that was it then we just seemed to click we hadn't clicked before that we just kept bumping into each other but yeah we clicked and that he was my first boyfriend I went out with him at 16 and we stayed together ever since wow that's insane yeah what do you think what's it about him why do you think you guys work he was always so different he was always unusual and I must love a quirky challenge because I I knew back then like even from the first time I met him I thought you are so different from anyone I've ever met not just in like physical like stature and looks he was he always had that different way of thinking and different mindset to everyone else and I liked that and I was attracted to him where was your first date where did you get I first like chatting to each other was there, like around everybody, but we ended up slying off by ourself and just talking for a few hours because it just seemed right to do so.
17:13And then the next time he come through, he took me to a, like a restaurant bar place that played boxing. And we watched the Matt Skelton fight and I'd never watched boxing in my life. So I must've been really keen to get this guy because I sat and watched two hours of two big heavyweights batter each other to death. And yeah, that was my date. My date was getting took to the shirt, the thing to watch boxing it's amazing right because the fact that you guys have stayed together so long yeah right and and look I I know this I'm married marriage is tough relationships are hard right very much so and the the easy option I think that's why we see like 50 percent of marriages don't work right is because the easy option is to give up but actually through the ups through the downs of the less and the rights you've got to stay at it you've got to keep going I agree with you on that I think that this day and age it's very much you know the grass is greener.
18:01This isn't working. Get out. You do you best for your life. But on the other hand, that next relationship is going to have flaws. I don't care who you go with. And obviously you have to take, I believe in the relationship, the good should outweigh the bad. So as long as you're having the good times more than the bad times, you're already on a winner. If you love that person, that's great. You love them. They're your friend and your good times outweigh the bad because no matter who you date or what time in your life, there's going to be problems. Even if it's great for the first two years, two or three years down the line, you're going to hit speed bumps, you're going to have problems.
18:38And that's when it shows if the relationship's going to work because you've both got each other's backs. That's what I feel me and Tyson have. Through Thick and Finn, we've got each other and I know I can call him and depend on him and he can call me and depend on me. Yeah, my mum says the same thing. She says the grass is never greener. You think it's going to be and then it never is. And so when you have something that's great, you stick at it and you keep going. Being married to a sportsman is tricky, right? Let alone being married to a boxer. Yeah. Firstly, being married to a sportsman is like when you're in sports, firstly, there's a lot of like uncertainty because you don't know how long your career is going to be.
19:13Yeah. Right. And then when it comes to something like boxing, which is a brutal sport, watching someone you love walk into a ring and have like a fight, an organized fight. Yeah. What does that make you feel? What do you go through when you watch Tyson going through these fights? it's not a nice situation to watch Tyson box all all our lives he's boxed ever since I've knew him um but I when I first married him I thought it was kind of like a an idea that he would have phased out and it didn't it obviously got progressed and got stronger and stronger you thought that's what was going to happen yeah I thought he was an amateur boxer when I went out with him so I kind of thought you know amateur boxing it's kind of like when boys play football isn't it like usually it doesn't progress but he was adamant it was going to progress and it did but when I used to watch him go in the ring I always used to get nervous and then the higher up he got because the first few men he used to box I knew he could beat I knew like oh he's going to go in there he's going to beat them he's a big strong man but then obviously the level of opponents got higher and the you know it got more dangerous and it just become a point where I don't enjoy watching him box I haven't enjoyed watching him box for years and I just support him because that's what he loves to do but it's not nice and to watch a loved one or a friend go into the ring is hard so never mind watch your husband go in do you cover your eyes when it when it's happening no i'm one of them weird people if there's a noise in the kitchen i run to it i'm one of them i face my fears instantly yeah i get called out for it all the time because i'm gonna get hurt one day but i have to go see what the noise is i couldn't hide under the bed because for me that that would be the hardest thing watching someone i love just get into then you just don't know what's going to happen because it's a brutal sport it is a brutal sport thank goodness they've got great precautions in the sport they have um they do all the medical checks they do the brain scans they do monitor it greatly so that is good but anything can happen in boxing and especially when Tyson's been knocked down and you you don't know in them 10 seconds if he's going to get up so we should talk about that because there was a Devontae Wilder fight yeah which is one of the most iconic fights of the last I don't know how many years yeah where he Devontae Wilder threw a punch Tyson got knocked down and he was down and out yeah yeah and then he got back up he did but in that time 10 seconds felt like two minutes.
21:18It felt like it went on forever. I was pregnant at the time and I had a big, ugly black dress on just to hide the book. And I saw him go down, saw him, lights go out and his brother always sits at the side of me and I grabbed his brother. I said, climb over and get him, get him. I thought he ain't getting up. So I pushed his brother over. No, you didn't. You did that. Yeah. And then I still, in this time, in this 10 seconds that's went on for an hour, I had time to now climb this rail, to climb over to go and get him because I thought we have to get him up. He's not getting up himself. And then bam, in the ninth second, he was up.
21:54So then it was like, come away, come away. We wanted him to put his hands up, guard up. And instead he started throwing punches and doing what he does and started fighting back. But it was a very, very intense moment. You climbed over. You had time to climb over to go and help him. Yeah, it was a very quick decision, but I shoved his brother who's like 25 stone over this thing. I thought you'll get to him quicker than me. And then I thought, no, no, he's still down. So I got over. Really graceful. I'm so glad it's not on camera because I'm sure it looked really, really respectful. And over we went and he was up.
22:28What were you going to do if you got to him? I presumed I was going to peel him off the canvas. That's a lot. Yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot to worry about. But I knew what I was getting into and I knew he was going to do it because he told me he was always going to do it. have you ever had conversations with him where you said like i don't want you to do this anymore many times yeah many times over and over and over i've said to him i think you're done you're no more boxing no more boxing but he loves it and unfortunately it is his life and i don't know where it's going to be when it ends i don't i don't know where he's going to go with this because he's walked away from it so many times and thoroughly believing that he is like i don't ever believe him but he believes it he believes at the time that he's retired and he's not going to go back to boxing and he's finished with it.
23:13And something pulls him back because he can't find anything to sort of fulfill his life the way that boxing does. It's like a blessing and a curse. Yeah. It's an addiction. It's an addiction, isn't it? Tyson has an addictive personality and he knows his own self. It's an addiction. And what I love about Tyson, right, is that he is so open about his mental health struggles. Yeah. And he's helped so many men. Oh yeah. And women, but I know he's helped a lot of men out there by talking about what he's been through, his addiction, his problems, you know, everything. And sometimes what we sort of forget during that time is we look at the person who's the person who's suffering, who's the person going through that mental health, whatever that may be, that depression, that anxiety, whatever it is.
23:55But we forget about the butterfly effect, the people who also affect it, the wife, you Paris, who is there by the side. Yeah, the family, the fathers, the mothers. It's hard, very hard. So when Tyson is going through or has been through his times where he's been pretty low and he's spoken about where he was driving his car and he thought he was going to end his life. Yeah. What are you going through at that point? Hell. You're going through hell. And as the partner to that person, it is extremely difficult to stay strong for them. But then you also try and stay strong for yourself because at the time when Tyson was going through this, I had three young children.
24:30I was pregnant with my fourth. I was trying to run the house. I was trying to keep everything afloat, trying to keep everything out of the media, trying to keep the family going. And I had a husband that was just on a hellbound mission to a train wreck. Thank goodness we, Tyson got to a point where he knew he wasn't going to manage it on his own. We got help. He saw a few psychiatrists and, you know, once it got diagnosed, it made it feel so much better as well. It did. Once we knew, like, I know this sounds terrible and judgy, but it was like, you're not actually insane yeah no you have a problem and it has a name and you know we can try and adapt to to work with this there's almost relief when you feel that yeah it was a bit of a relief because i used to wonder all over and over what is wrong with you like i can't get it because to me i am a positive person i am i wake up and nine times out of ten i'm a happy person and i'm positive and upbeat and i see the fun in everything like i my friend says to me all the time like you can make a museum trip fun you want to go to the pound shop and it's fun like oh my god you know i am though I'll take the kids and like, oh, what are we going to do today?
25:31I am an optimistic person. So when you've put the other end of the scale, like being low and depressed, it's very shocking. So to be told it's actually a medical condition and to understand it and to try and understand it made it easier for us to deal with it. Because for us, we found that Tyson, mental health isn't something you solve and you get rid of. I think it's something you learn to live with and learn to deal with. And I think that's what people, sometimes they try and look for the solution, but it isn't really a solution. as much as it's a, you know, a life changement and you sort of make it work.
26:04Paris, you couldn't say that about it. That's exactly it, where you have to learn to live with it, which is the hardest piece of advice you're going to get when you're going through something. It's the best piece of advice because as soon as you accept it, that's part of you, that's who you are. That's the road to like recovery because you go, wait, okay, I probably can't change this, but at least I can accept it and move forward. That's also going for someone who hasn't experienced anxiety or depression, typically, and then seeing someone you love go through that, You want to shake them. What is going on?
26:30Because you don't understand it. You don't understand. You can't understand how someone can wake up and not want to live when you've got everything at your feet. You've got money. You've got homes. You've got kids. You've got family. You've got health. But you're depressed. It doesn't make sense. But it's an imbalance in the brain that you can't control. And on a daily basis, even if you should be happy, it doesn't mean you're going to be. And if people are living with that, if you can try and seek help, I'd strongly advise it. seek help and don't feel like you're the only person that feels like this because there's thousands of people who go through this daily.
27:01Can I ask you a personal question? Yeah. During that time, firstly, how do you keep your family together? And secondly, was there a time when you wanted to run, wanted to leave? Yeah, I wanted to leave. There was a few times, it was a couple of times when Tyson was out drinking. And obviously I was a young woman, I was at home, I had these young kids, you know, I was pregnant myself. So my hormones was out of whack, you know what I mean? I wasn't exactly, you know, I was trying to do the best I could, but I wasn't great. And I used to try and keep it. Thank goodness the kids was very young, so they didn't witness it.
27:31Like they wasn't of the age like now, say for instance. Where they would know. Where they would know what was going on. So these kids got put to bed at seven o 'clock. They didn't see dad not coming home till twos and threes in the morning, paralytic drunk or other substances as well, which I didn't understand as well. And he's a big man. Yeah. So thank God he was only ever detrimental to himself. He would come home crying. He would be depressed. he'd want to end his life and that was on him but it was upsetting for me and there'd be times when I'd look and think I can't deal with this I don't want to deal with this but you know again it was sickness and in health is that what kept you it wasn't just that it was I love Tyson I know this I say it and I feel like pure cringe but I do and that's it I love my husband and I knew if I left I didn't know what I'd ever come back to and I couldn't live with that and it's kind of like yes there is a limit to that.
28:19I'm not saying to everyone in a relationship in that situation, oh, you must stick with them because you love them. I'm not saying that because sometimes situations can be dangerous and can be, you know, not suitable. But for me, I felt I could help in being there. So I did. But there was times, many times when I looked and I thought, I don't want to deal with this. I don't want to deal with this today. I don't want to deal with you. I don't want to, you know, have this pressure on my brain. I didn't sign up for this, but in a way I did. signed up sickness and health it's there is there is times when and I I know that I know people have been through addiction and I've seen it and I firsthand know it's a disease I can see it on people and it takes over their brains and they struggle and especially when it and then that mixed with mental health and everything it's a lot that's going on and Tyson says without you he wouldn't be here you were the one that saved him yeah I seen that I seen him do a it was quite nice to see actually that it is appreciated but he done a uh he done a chat with an interview yeah and he said it and I was actually like sat back like oh that's so nice like you do actually understand you do appreciate it but it is it maybe that's what kept him kept him going I don't know but whatever it is we've came out stronger so that's great I've seen that you know Tommy Tyson's brother also has been open about his own struggles yeah which is kind of amazing and brave to come out like that have you spoken to him about it I haven't spoken to him personally about it but But it runs in families because when Tyson had his first anxiety attack, he thought he was having a heart attack.
29:47I got called. He's had a heart attack. He's in the hospital. He's having a heart attack. So I've rushed down to the hospital. Tyson's on a bed and I walk over and he goes, get me out of here. They're trying to kill me. Gone. Totally had a complete anxiety attack. What age is this? This was a few years ago. When he was in his bad time. So I don't know what age he was. Yeah. Maybe 30. Yeah. Somewhere around there. And that was his first anxiety attack he'd ever had, really? He'd had anxiety attacks, but not to that level. Fine. So this one, he was in an ambulance. He'd gone to the hospital. It was full-blown anxiety attack.
30:16He believed people around him was trying to kill him. He believed that Illuminati was getting him. It was like a full - Psychosis. Gone. Yeah. Really, really bad. So it frightened me to death that when he'd done that, then the family history was coming out. And it was like, why did nobody tell us this? Like his dad started saying, you know, this one had this, this one had that, this one's on them pills. And it was like, why did you never tell us this? You know? and that's when it comes out that it is it is genetical and it can come down in families so I gotta be truthful I do fear I look at my kids and I think you're like your dad you know it's but it is what it is they'll have to roll with it refresh the rooms you love for spring with Pura's collection of floral citrus and fresh scents bright airy and made for the season open the door to spring in every room learn more at Pura.com My wife won't stop talking about Jerry.

32:41You mentioned Poundland earlier. Yes. Do you still go to Poundland? I do go to Poundland. I go to all the normal shops in the world. Where else am I going to go? Come on, I lived in Morecambe. There isn't really much options, but yeah, I like normality. I like to teach my kids normality. I like to be in a normal situation. It's good on you because, you know, both of you are hugely successful. Yeah, thank you. Incredibly so, right? And when you have that much success, that also leads to financial success and everything, right? But you're saying you keep so grounded. Yeah, we do. I try to keep grounded.
33:19I've tried for years to keep completely normal. My kids go to normal schools. We shop in normal shops. I don't really know any different because I don't know where else you would go. I don't know if there's like a little celebrity boutique where you go for your Asda's, your apples and oranges. It's called the Notting Hill Fish Shop. Oh, is that where you go? And a melon is£60. I bet, yeah, I would not buy that melon. You can keep that melon. I'll get my£2 one. There's a bunch of grapes which are£100. No way. I swear to God. Have you bought them? No, I have not bought them. You have, haven't you?
33:51I've bought them once. You served them at the dinner, didn't you? You had a dinner party and you served them. You put the receipt on the table. I'm going to send you some to try it No, no, I would begrudge it I would send them back and get refunded by loads Would you? I would Now, old habits die high I like to keep grounded I like to keep my kids in a normal situation Because I have said I've got seven children And they've all got to grow up in their own right And where they're going to end up in life Is not down to me and their dad It's like down to them as well So if they're in a normal situation But they can't make a bed Or clean a house Or cook a dinner Or wash their clothes in a washing machine.
34:27You make them do that? Yeah. Get out of here, Paris. Yeah, they all do it. They all do. Even like right down to the baby has to pick the toys up. So everybody has a function. Everybody has a job. And I just want to make sure that as a parent, I do my part and let them all learn some key skills of life because like I am baffled when you see like a 22-year-old man who can't turn on the washing machine. Yes. See, Tyson was always very independent. Tyson like is OCD. So everything's clean anyway. Great in a relationship because he keeps everything on. I'm a little bit like that. It's good. It's good, yeah.
34:56So he always knew how to look after himself and cook for himself and clean for himself. So I want to make sure all my kids know all this. And I also want them to know you go into a shop and you read the price of something and you check that. I want them to know normality and have a budget and don't break it. And it's working some days. But how do you balance that? It's hard to balance it. Because you're balancing normal life and now you've got the cameras back in your home. Yeah. Which is like, so your kids kind of know mum and dad are pretty famous. Yeah. I have an eight-year-old who knows she's famous.
35:31Yeah, exactly. She tells them if we go to a restaurant and there's a queue, she's like, just tell them where the Furies is. It's like, oh my God, shush, shush. So that is a little bit tricky, right, to manage. It is. It is tricky that way. But on the other hand, they don't know no difference. So for these cameras to be around, they just think like the Netflix crew is family. Like they'll go over. That's the awkward thing. when you're actually, there's a full load of cameras like this and there's people behind them and they're going, Lily, open my crisps. And like they're talking to the camera crew and it's like, shh, pretend they're not here.
36:02But normal day-to-day life with the cameras or without the cameras, we're pretty basic. I mean, sometimes we do different things that suit our needs. Like, okay, right, Tyson might have a fancy car. We might take a private plane somewhere. But then we balance it back out, you know, or we'll... Do you find that strange sometimes? When you get on a private plane and you're flying somewhere, do you go like, well, hang on a second, this is wild? or no? I did the first couple of times and then now when we do it, it's still a bit, you still look and you go like, wow, look where we've got to. Because that is amazing.
36:32And I think in the UK what sometimes happens, and America are very good at it, they celebrate success. In the UK we want to bring it down, but actually you guys have built that. You've built that success from scratch. And you've built it up, which is incredibly hard. Yeah, it is. it is and like Tyson boxed for many years um and never got no further like literally just we barely saved up enough money to buy our first house when Tyson like boxed for years he'd had loads of fights he was like European champion this champion and we just managed to like get enough money together to get a house and you know all we kept thinking was like if we can secure a home we've got a home and stuff like that um but then as time went on Tyson obviously done amazing he got some great deals and he'd done some great fights.
37:20Myself, I've done some good business deals and we've went on strength to strength. But yeah, I still look and think like, wow, this is amazing. We've done really good. Do you find it frustrating that the sort of naive people out there just think it's all Tyson that's done it? No, because I have to give him his props. I've said this before, people think I would be upset by this, but if Tyson wasn't doing his boxing, I wouldn't have been famous. I may have done other different business deals. I might have followed different avenues. You know, I've always been that way inclined, but I, I can't say, obviously I wouldn't have been broadly known if Tyson wasn't the boxer he is.
37:58I can't, I wouldn't because I'd have never, ever seeked out to be famous. That was something that was never, ever on my agenda. Like to think, oh, I want to be famous. You never had that? No, no. Like that was just not even slightly on the agenda. Like I didn't, it wasn't something that I thought would ever come. Even when I used to speak on interviews I used to just think oh they just want to talk to me because it's about Tyson like I'm just talking but then obviously I grew my own fan base and people liked me for the person I am especially as I was older and I had my children and I was a mother and people could relate to that and then different situations arose in life what people really related to and I found it's just been something that's grew it grew naturally organically.
38:36Yeah but Paris you give celeb energy ah do i yeah awesome it's those hundred pound grapes that you eat yeah yeah yeah i'm gonna stick to my water while you eat them you do you're a star and i remember watching the first series and you know again expecting it to be the tyson show but it wasn't it was the parish show yeah i did get that i did i didn't know it was going to be like that because when i was filming it i kind of always thought i was just in the background like i'd be stood in the corner watching them film and then they'd be like pointing a camera at me about looking at me again i don't understand this but it's um it did come out that way and a load of people did tell me this and it is lovely it's great it's beautiful praise from people to say like they really like what i what i am and what i stand for so why do you bring the cameras back in again um i think what it was truthfully deep down truthfully deep down it gave tyson something to do tyson retired and he was like oh should we do the netflix show again now you've got to consider tyson didn't really like doing the first show because he finds schedules and he finds like having to wait for other people very it boosts his anxiety he can't really deal with it that's the adhd that's everything with him he can't do he has to be on his own clock yeah he is completely on his own clock and you've got it in one so when they say can you just hold for two minutes while we just put this camera up he's like no i need to go now i need to go later leave so he didn't really enjoy the process that way um where to me it didn't make any difference it didn't bother me if they was there if they wasn't there so then when it come to the next pro i was neither up nor down if we did it or we didn't do it but then tyson was retired and he said they've offered me the show again should we do it and i was like yeah you should do it you know yeah great i thought it'll give him something to put his mind and his time into so he might stay retired it hasn't worked he's fighting so but i did think that that was what it was and then evidently we've started number three because now we're just may as well go with it we're just in in for a penny in for a pound we're in Now we've just got to keep going So this series, what are we going to expect?
40:34In this series You'll see Obviously family relationship Normal family drama, teenagers Kids, school run, that kind of thing Tyson being retired Again Me and Venezuela, Venezuela's 16 15 or 16 in the show, so Venezuela was taking I was trying to show Different avenues in life and business, so obviously I do business deals, I've just done a great brand of eternal um eternal collagen i've been boosting that and you know it's a great product i've been using it for a while i've been doing different deals over my social media platform anything that i can do from home i like to do i enjoy i like to stay at home but then venezuela she was 15 at the time of filming and i was just she said like i said what do you want to do because she didn't really know her place what she wanted to do so she started to blow up on tiktok she We started to get some great offers in.
41:26So we was kind of doing a bit of photo shoots. People in the office love her. Yeah, I know. It's crazy. People in the office love her. I don't have proper TikTok. I had it and then the kids keep putting weird videos on and then it gets deleted, you know, like cruel or whatever. I don't know what that, I get banned basically. I don't even want to say. What are the videos that are going on? You know, like they'll be in their vests doing like some weird TikTok and like I get shut down for children and it's bad. It's just, I don't even want to say why, but it sounds terrible. So they shut my TikTok down.
41:49So I haven't had TikTok. And then one day everyone kept saying, oh saw Venezuela's TikToks I saw Venezuela's TikToks I was like okay I got a look at this and I went down and I laughed that hard at her and I thought I forget how weird you are and then like her personality really is she's so funny she's like her dad she's like she don't care what other people think then she got engaged at the end of the show which was it just went from like we didn't know where the show was going and then all of a sudden it had like this big ending that's kind of the amazing thing though about like following the Furies right you don't really know where it's going to go it could go anywhere yeah but so everyone in the background was like where's it going they want to know like the people who organise shows people who do reality TV must actually sit down at the beginning of the series and be like you're going to marry him you're going to divorce her you're going to go out with him you're going to have an affair with that one you're going to go down a business route you're going to promote a brand and they must know did you ever watch Made in Chelsea?
42:40no I didn't I've heard it was great on it thank you very much did a little bit of that conversation happen at the beginning is that right? so they tried to do that with us and it doesn't work So we ended up just telling them a lot of rubbish. Like, yeah, we're going to go on this holiday. We're going to go do this. We're going to do that. It was all a lot of rubbish because we was like, we're going to do the show anyway. Tyson's going to do it his way. I'm along for the ride. And you can't really plan out what, seven, eight, nine people, there's nine of us in one household. That's mad. How are you going to plan what they're going to do?
43:08But also, it's a huge hit. Yeah, it's amazing. Netflix must be over the moon because it's a huge hit. They've already started number three. I literally said bye to them with that hand and they was backing with this hand. I was like, oh, gosh, you're back again. There was, I remember in the first series, Tyson was talking about wanting to buy an airport. Yeah. Yeah. He gets these ideas. He's just actually went through with what, not an airport, but something silly. Can you just tell? I don't think I can tell. I don't think I know. I can't tell. But I left him alone for about 12 hours and he came back and he's like, I have just bought this.
43:40I was like, oh my God. I looked at the person at the side of me and went, you harbored him into this, didn't you? Has there been a moment where, what is the wildest thing when Tyson's come out and said, by the way, I've bought this and you were like, what's going to, if you can tell me. I think, come on. Before this one was a racehorse. He has a racehorse. Tyson does not like racehorse racing. I know he's a gypsy and he's meant to like these things, but he doesn't, right? He's not into it. So all of a sudden he comes back, I have a racehorse. It's so funny. It's actually on the series. Oh no, it was so bad.
44:08Oh no, no, no. The poor horse trainer. Basically, he got a horse. The horse was doing races and it was like a baby horse. It grew up. I don't know what you call it. Yeah, yeah. So anyway. Baby horse and it grew up into a horse. It grew up into a horse. Okay. So the horse done a run and it came second in its first race. Yeah. Then it run another race and it came first in its race. So then we had this idea, come on, we'll all go for the day and we'll watch the horse run. And the trainer was really optimistic, like it's done unbelievable well. We didn't expect it to do any good. It's done second and first in the last two races.
44:41So it runs this race. It goes backwards. It totally loses. It went the opposite way. It was a complete dud. So we're all laughing. Like we was killing ourselves laughing. The poor horse trainer was crying. My boy went up and he went, is he crying, mam? I was like, shh, please shh. And I felt so bad for him because obviously he had done his job. It wasn't his fault. It was the horse. But it was just so funny. But this was another one of Tyson's harebrained ideas to think like, I'm going to be a horse racer. How old were you when you got married? I was 18 when I got married. Because your daughter, Venezuela, is engaged at 16, right?
45:16She is. She beat me. I got engaged at 17 she's got engaged at 16 it's crazy like because I'm I got married at 35 yep I thought I was I wasn't then I was like is this the right time yeah but it's amazing that getting married at such a young age Venezuela is ridiculously young even in gypsy standards like she's really young she's 16 but Venezuela has always been a woman she's always been the oldest of all these kids she's always been very confident in herself and she has met the person that she wants to be with and she's got a lot of negative flap about it and people saying oh this uh why would you want to get married so young why would you want to end your life why you're not living your life why you're not and I don't get it I don't understand it to me my child is met the person she wants to be with if she moved in and lived with this person no one would bat an eyelid it wouldn't be any problem but the fact that she wants to get married to me which is a celebration of their relationship it's beautiful that that's what they want to do.
46:14And she is happy. He is happy. And they want to commit to each other that way. I don't see the problem. I don't understand it. I don't see the negative point at all, but maybe that's my blindness. I don't think it is your blindness. I think you're just saying you're letting your kids do what they want to do rather than restricting it. Because what you do, then you - What am I going to do? Turn around to her and say, no, no, you're not doing that. Well, she's going to do it anyway. No, you're not marrying the man you love. Okay. That makes sense. Just to please some other people out there who may say it's not nice what's to say it's not nice me and Tyson's been married 20 years we're overly happy what's what's Noah like her fiance he's a really nice young man um he's very much like her the two of them are real quirky they're like vibrant out there um he's a bit shy of the cameras I think I think he might have to get used to them um they're there um but he met Venezuela in a situation where she was just a normal person she was just like the normal another another face in the crowd and And he came over, he liked the fact that she was tall.
47:12I think that's what he said. He said he liked the fact that she was really tall. And she's my daughter and she's really good looking and beautiful. So, yeah. But, and they got along and he's a boxer. He likes boxing. It's good for him. He likes sports. I think it's a clean living way of life. I think that's good. When Tyson retires, do you worry about that time? I do worry about it because I, as I've said before, I don't know what he'll fill his space with. And nothing seems to give him the satisfaction boxing does. so I don't know where it will lead to. I don't know where he'll go with it. I'm hoping age just kicks in.
47:46And my boy Prince, he loves boxing at the minute. He's been training with his dad for the last three months in Thailand. He's wanting to have his first amateur fight soon. And you're happy for him to go into boxing? Not really, but they're doing it. I'm all about supporting the dreams. My daughter's 16, she's getting married, my boy wants to box in Thailand. I'm all supportive. I'm the supportive mother. Paris, you're great. I'm here for it. But if he does, I will support him and I'll die at the side of the ring at the same time. Because that's a different, having had a baby, right? It's a different love.
48:18Yeah, it is. And I don't... That's like your heart running around the place with boxing gloves on. And someone hitting it. Yeah. I don't think I'll handle it well. I don't think I will handle it well. I'm a bit scared for the other person when you get in the ring afterwards. Yeah, yeah, that's the one. I'm going to try and be dignified. Trying to be dignified ringside. But yeah, the kids are all doing what they want to do and they're enjoying it. And heck, what can you say? Do you think that's important as a parent to do that? You have to allow your kids to do what they want to do? Within reason, yeah.
48:45I think you've got to support them. I think you've got to let them live their dream. The reason I say this again is because some people, Tyson calls them dream crushers. Right. Some people would look at a kid and they'll say, I'm going to be the next Ronaldo. And they'd say, don't be stupid. You can't do that. But I don't believe in limitations on children. I think, you know, entice their dreams. Let them have that moment. And if they go far with it, great. If it doesn't come off, they'll start to realize it's not going to happen. You know? The press is tough. Yeah. And you've got the cameras in.
49:17You have to deal with the press. The kids have to deal with the press. And I don't know how much you can talk on, but I'm a big fan of you guys. And I've seen the press recently that family is important to you, right? Yeah, of course. Tyson and his dad seem to have a rocky relationship at the moment. Yeah, they've been on and off for years. they always go through this you know you've got two very headstrong people one probably more headstrong than the other and it is I mean I'll tell you what I will say everyone's saying it is a social media stunt and it's not it's a family rift that's going on at the moment and I hope they resolve it because I think there's nothing more important than your family and I know they love each other deeply deep down and for whatever reason it be pride or whatever um they have an issue his dad has an issue and i hope they can resolve it yeah i get it's tough that because it is family is the most important thing yeah especially for us we we come from like really family-minded um i mean it's come at a bad time all this information that's come i mean tyson knew his dad had certain feelings towards people in the camp and he he he's always said, I am my own man and I'll do things my own way.
50:29And he has always done that. And this is where he's got for it. So he looks at it like I've done my own choices all my life. Like his dad's had opinions on different things he shouldn't have done in the past and he's done it. And it's went unbelievable. Well, he said, don't fight Deontay Wilder. It's the best trilogy in boxing history. So things like this has been said, but this is a personal rift between them and I hope they resolve it. Do you think it's, it's hard to mix family and business? Yeah. It's really hard. It's hard to mix family and business. I think sometimes you have to draw that line.
51:01But this isn't, it's not my argument to divulge too deeply into. Got it. I hear you. Would you ever have any more kids? I don't know. I don't think so. I think what we've got, we're really lucky to have the seven kids we've got. We say it all the time. We're very blessed. And I feel like, especially with Venezuela getting married this year, and I'm just wondering, when is the limit? Where do you draw the line? I'm only 36. I feel like I'm still young. I feel like I'm still young and I feel like I shouldn't put a limitation on myself because of what other people are doing. Why do we do that in life?
51:36Why do we put other people limitations on it? We shouldn't do that. It is cringy when your children are older than your grandchildren. No, younger. Yeah, I think that would be a cringy moment. Yeah, something like that. I think it would be like your child would be younger than your grandchild. That's got to be a cringy moment. So I think maybe I've got to, you know, shut shop, draw the line. because Molly May is about to have her second baby. Yes, she is. It's so exciting. Yeah, it is really exciting. I'm really, really pleased for them. I think it'll be a lovely moment because obviously they're so great with Bambi and then they're getting this new little baby.
52:09It will, it'll be amazing to see because I do, listen, some kids, it works that way when there's an only child, but I think it's a beautiful thing if you can give a child a sibling. Just hint in there. Don't worry, my wife is already on it. Okay. I know we're not allowed to talk about sex but it's the only time I will get that so we have to She's getting number two No, I do I think if it's possible I think it's a great thing for a child to have a sibling Obviously mine has got loads but even just one that you can you know that in the future when you go away that they have someone else to talk to Doing this Netflix show are you happy the way that you've been perceived?
52:49Yeah Yeah, I think I think it just come out truthful to how I am I saw myself shouting and screaming on the trail and thought, oh, that's a bit embarrassing. But that's me. That's just life. And I don't hide anything. I don't feel the need. On one of the scenes, I got car sick and I'm sick and over the edge, right? And the camera's just right there. I was thinking like, you don't need to be that close. Is that in the series? In the series. Can't wait. So Venezuela, if that's what you're looking forward to, whatever floats your boat. So my Venezuela said to me, she went, oh, you've got to take that out.
53:19That's disgusting. But I went, but it's life. Like life happens. Like the good, the bad. it's just normality like I don't really I don't try and put airs and graces on so I think it's just yeah I think the show came out just the way I am and I think if people perceive it well then that's how they would like me and if they don't like it they won't like me. Paris this is a great it's a refreshing attitude no but it really is and you just say okay but like maybe you can't take compliments that well but like it is such a refreshing attitude because I think that's what we should we should all be more like you.
53:49I would like to promote it to young people I mean adults we're adults we can look after ourselves but young kids need to learn not to take on opinions that don't matter and it's alright saying oh all opinions matter they don't the people's who opinions matter is your own family your own loved ones people who's your close friends if I'm wearing this outfit and everyone in this room looks and goes I didn't like that outfit that outfit was horrible oh she looked horrible I don't care I like it I'm happy but if my mum said to me that outfit was horrible a bit oh maybe she shouldn't have wore that it was a bit dodgy and that's not insecurities but that's because that's someone who loves me giving me their truthful opinion but everybody else I'm like well I'm happy I like it you know and I think that's what kids need to be told I've told my daughter and recently when she got engaged everybody kind of jumped on her fiance Noah giving him a load of stick he he'd never really had like a load of social media hate and he got all these different things and he deleted social media for a few days a couple of weeks and he went oh can you believe what the people's calling me and what they're saying to me and she went I'm what?
54:52So what? Why are you bothered? Why are you interested? So when she said that, I thought, what I've been telling you is clicked in. She doesn't listen. So when she makes these videos and she just owns who she is and she just is her own personality, and there is people who will say negative things, but she just ignores it. And that's what I'm hoping to instill into all my kids because they've all got to grow up in this new age of world where it's okay to insult somebody and call them names and be rotten to them over social media and on an internet. And you have to completely blank that out because the people who matter is your own loved ones.
55:22And I think that's what people should be installed into their brain that all these opinions don't matter. Like it doesn't, doesn't make no difference to you. Open the door to spring with Pura.

56:10It's a car insurance app. Yep. Let's just... Never happened. Do yourself a favor. Visit jerry.ai slash ACAST.
56:23Paris, you're a genius. You're great. You're the best. Thank you very much. I appreciate everything. I was so excited to interview you. I was so excited to chat to you. And you say don't meet your heroes. Oh, okay. That's good. That's nice. Paris, everyone should go and watch your show. It's out right now. You can go and get it on Netflix. at Home of the Furious. It's incredible. Before we let you go, we have eight quick fire questions. Are you ready for this? I'm ready. Okay. What's a saying or phrase that makes you smile or cheers you up? You big dosser. Sorry, I laugh at it every time. I think the fact that it's painted in catchphrase for Tyson is pretty good.
56:57That's a fact as well. Are you guys, do you say you love each other? Yes. What's your love language? Food. Food. It is. It's like, yeah, I brought you some chocolates. Okay. Okay, best compliment anyone's ever given you? A compliment I really like, and it's boring for me, but it's when people come over and say, oh, your kids are really polite. Oh, you know, like if you're on an airplane and they've been really nice and they've said please and thank you, I think it's really nice to get that feedback to know that your kids are doing good. What scares you most about yourself? This is horrible, though.
57:32I've always had a thought that I, this is really dark. I've always had a thought that I will get an illness and die young. That's a thought that I've always had, and that's a really weird dark thought isn't it no but it's not but that's what scares you right yeah lots of people have that also it's the fact that you've got kids and everything yeah I think that's what it is I think it's the thought of like leaving everyone behind when was the last time you cried oh all the time I'm a cryer do you get emotional er no I say that it's not all the time when did I last cry I cried at Wuthering Heights oh I sobbed over Jacob Laudy no I actually sobbed at Wuthering Heights no because I watched the old original black and white one and I've convinced myself it's me and Tyson, which sounds really sick because it's so toxic.
58:13But we're not that toxic. But like, no, he lived in Manchester near the Moors. Yeah, yeah. And it was that kind of thing. So, yeah, and when I watched it, I went with four new friends, like, we've moved. So I met these new friends. Yeah, so we went to the pictures and every one of them didn't cry and I was sobbing, snifing it at the end. And I thought, please, why are you not crying? It's so sad. It's emotional. So, yeah, I sobbed. I sobbed at the end of that. What's something you can't let go of? I don't like letting go of shoes. I like to keep shoes. even past the cellar favourite pair of shoes you have my little low Dior Golds and my they're trainers that everyone wears New Balance live in them love them yeah love in New Balance yeah I think they're a cool look as well yeah they are they're in they're trendy you can wear you can wear anything with them tell my wife that okay what's your guilty pleasure food food yeah my guilty pleasure is like eating too much chocolate chocolate and crisps you know people are either sweet or savoury I'm both I want like galaxy on a pack of walkers Have you seen this new Pringle thing?
59:10Have you seen this? Yes! It looks sickly though. I think, imagine it'd go mushy. It's a log of chocolate but with Pringles in it. Do you think it'd work? Yeah, I think it's good. I might try it. I'll get you on. What turns you off? A dirty house. I like things to be tidy. It doesn't sit well emotionally with me. And the opposite, what turns you on?
59:35Tyson in a thong. No I'm joking I'm joking Alright no I don't know I don't know Can't answer that one Okay can't answer it Tyson and a thong What do you like most About yourself Do you know what I'm pretty proud of the fact Of what my body's done I know this sounds Cringe but like I've had seven kids And I'm not perfect But I feel like My body's took me through All that And brought me back To a decent enough spot So I'm pretty proud of that Bonus one Tyson loves to sing At their boxing match What's your karaoke song My karaoke song Oh I I like the shallows. How does it go?
1:00:12Oh, you know which one it is. How does the beginning go? How does the beginning go? I don't remember. Tell me something, boy. Are you happy in this modern world?

Paris Fury is an absolute powerhouse of a woman. When At Home With The Furys first hit our screens, 2.6 million people tuned in to watch the first episode. We got a glimpse into life with former Heavyweight Champion, Tyson, and the rest of the Fury family. But for me, it was Paris who really stood out.
As Tyson’s wife of nearly 20 years, Paris has been with him through it all. From his boxing wins and losses to his mental health struggles and addiction - and all of that whilst raising their seven children together.
Paris has always been Tyson’s biggest supporter and the glue that holds the Fury family together.
In this episode, Paris shares:
I loved every second of my conversation with Paris. She reminded me that you can do anything and be anyone you want to be. You’ve just got to go for it.
Paris Fury is Great Company.
