Tyson Fury Opens Up About Life’s Biggest Regret: Losing Count of His Past Relationships
Look, no matter what those tattoos and N-Dubz songs might say, we’ve all got our regrets – big or small.
And while some might regret their attempts to be eaten by a snake or people aged 70-80 might all share a common answer, Tyson Fury has his own X-rated one.
The Gypsy King met his wife Paris when he was 17 and her 15, tying the knot three years later back in 2008. Well-documented by the chaos in their Netflix docu-series last year, the pair share seven kids with the youngest, Prince Rico born in September.
Paris has previously spoken out about the pair following tradition and not sleeping together until they were married. Speaking back in 2015, the mum-of-seven said: “We didn’t sleep together until after we got married.”
She described how even after they were engaged, Tyson would sleep in a caravan art her parents’ home while she slept inside the house as ‘that is the travellers’ way’.
However, it seems the British boxer was, well, pretty busy before he got serious with Paris and didn’t always follow that tradition.
“I’m a liar, a cheater, a proud, vain person. Everything that’s bad I do or have done. We all make mistakes, don’t we?” he previously said to Boxing News online. Tyson explained that the ‘only thing’ he regrets in life is having sex before marriage.
“If I could erase that then my life would be practically perfect,” he said. “I regret all the filth that you do with people. I must have had sex with over 500 women, more, I don’t know, I’ve lost count. But it’s pure filth and horribleness.”
Looking back on his previous antics as a young lad, the dad said he sees them 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,” he added.
Tyson went on to explain how he sought to change himself for the benefit of his big brood, having stopped drinking and going out so he could instead ‘get up [and] go and take the kids somewhere on a Saturday morning rather than being in bed till 12 o’clock’.
After his recent loss to Oleksandr Usyk, the first defeat of his professional boxing career, Paris made a promise to her husband.
As she did not attend the fight on Saturday, she wrote on Instagram stories: “Will never not be at your side for a fight again. Even though I couldn’t be there, I wished I was.”
