Tyson Fury gives in to kids’ fight demand for Derek Chisora trilogy bout

Tyson Fury gave into his children's demands to allow his oldest two kids to attend his trilogy fight against Derek Chisora alongside their mother, Paris.

Venezuela, 13, and Prince, 11, are in attendance for the fight at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this evening as Fury defends his WBC world heavyweight championship.

Paris has previously spoken about how she has consciously kept their children away from Fury's fights, not deeming it acceptable to see their dad in action.

But after their oldest two kids were 'desperate' to attend, the couple gave into their demands and the family posed for a photo prior to the big fight.

Paris wrote on Instagram : "Family, can’t believe their [sic] at the fight. I always said it’s not a place for little kids but their [sic] not little kids no more, 11 & 13 and wanted to come soooo bad. So here we go! Come on @tysonfury."

Fury announced the trilogy bout with Chisora after failing to come to an agreement with either fellow world champion Oleksandr Usyk, who will be ringside for the fight, or domestic rival Anthony Joshua.

Chisora is bidding to cause what would be one of the biggest upsets in the history of the heavyweight division, boxing as a whole and indeed the wider sporting world.

And despite going into the fight as a huge underdog, he insists he will not be taking a backward step.

He said: "On Saturday I'm going to go to war. There's no two ways about it. I want to take what's his and make it mine. Physically and mentally.

"I can guarantee you, you are going to love the whole show we are going to put up. It's not going to be stinker, it's going to be a great fight."
