Paris Fury has made her thoughts very clear on how she feels about one line of work her husband Tyson could explore following his retirement from boxing. Back in April, the Wythenshawe fighter triumphed in the sixth round in front of a crowd of 94,000 people to retain his WBC heavyweight title.
But the incredible victory was bittersweet as Tyson, also known as the Gypsy King, confirmed that he was retiring from boxing. He then later said to Piers Morgan on his TalkTV show, Uncensored:: "I've still got my brains, I can still talk. "I’ve got a beautiful wife and six kids. I’ve got umpteen belts, I’ve got plenty of money. Success, fame, glory.
"What more am I doing it for? Boxing's a very dangerous sport. You can be taken out with one punch, and it only takes one unlucky blow and you may not get up off that canvas. Every good dog has its day. And like a good Roman leader said, there will always be someone else to fight. When is enough enough?"
Tyson married his teenage sweetheart Paris in 2008 and the couple share 12-year-old Venezuela and eight-month-old Athena as well as Prince John James, nine, Prince Tyson Fury II, five, Prince Adonis, Valencia, four, and two-year-old Amaziah.
Appearing for the first time in the Loose Women studio following her previous stints as a panelist, Paris was quizzed on her husband's decision to retire with Janet Street-Porter asking: "What's it like living with him when he's not fighting and hasn't got a fight planned?"
Paris replied: "We are going through that now. Tyson's like a busy bee but he's busy doing something of nothing. He's actually on tour at the moment so every weekend he's really busy at the moment and we have other businesses that we run together. He is at home a lot more than usual and we are just trying to find the path of that and the balance.
"Tyson will say 'do you want to go for lunch, shall we go here, shall we watch a movie' and I'll say 'I'm very busy right now.'" Paris then went on to share details on a future "no holes barred" documentary about the family with crews staying in Morecambe and filming for five days a week over the next three months.
She explained: "They are moving into the area this week and they are going to be there for the next three months so I'm not exactly sure how we are all going to keep our airs and graces. We learned with the last documentary, when we did it we only did it because wanted people to see the real us.
"Especially with Tyson, there's so many different misconceptions of Tyson and I said it will be really great to let the world see you. I ended up being part of it and I never expected any sort of fame or part of the show. I just though I'd be in the background."
Coleen then went on to ask Paris about suggestions there could soon be a popstar amongst the family. "It's so terrible," Paris said. "The music companies keep coming to Tyson... because he sings in the ring and he sings everywhere anyone will listen, they've ask him to release an album."
She went on: "Not just a song, an album! And I went 'Who? Why would you want to do this?' And he said: "I'm going to do it, look at all the songs they want me to sing'. And I'm like: 'I'd be the first to criticize this album!'" When Janet then asked what his voice is like, Paris bluntly replied: "Not great!" leading to all the ladies laughing.
During her appearance on the show, Paris was also asked about the backlash she had received after revealing daughter Venezuela was being homeschooled. Paris explained: "She does have a tutor. Someone comes in weekly and they do all her work and they keep her up to date with the standards that she's meant to do.
"It's going great. It's nothing new to us. It's what our culture, our race of people as gypsies and travellers have always done. So we gave Venezuela the option, do you want to go to high school or do you want to be home schooled, but I got such a bad backlash [saying] you took away her chance of this, her chance of that. I never went to high school."
Janet then said: "To see other people's point of view how can a 12-year-old decide what's best for her?" to which Paris replied: "Because I haven't taken away her advantages. She will sit [her exams] and go through the full extent of schooling. When she's 15, 16, if she wants to go into further learning she can.
"I did. At 15 I went to college and did three years to run a beauty therapy business. That's what I wanted to do. I've told my girl 'you can do anything, anything you want to do you can do it'. So she'll keep up to date with her studies. But people just look at it as like 'oh you've taken her out of school, that's the end of it'. They don't understand."
