Cameras managed to catch Paris Fury’s reaction to her husband’s most recent loss in the ring to Oleksandr Usyk.
Tyson Fury fought in a rematch against Usyk in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday night, months after the former lost in May this year.
The Ukrainian once again triumphed over ‘The Gypsy King’, retaining his status as the undisputed heavyweight boxing champion.
All three judges scored the fight 116-112 in favour of ‘The Cat’, meaning that both of Fury’s professional losses have come at the hands of Usyk.
Fans of Fury will surely be disappointed with the result, as many thought that the scores were much closer.
The newly sampled AI judging determined the bout to be 118-112 to be in Usyk’s favour, a scoring method that Fury quickly criticised after the match up.
Despite having no bearing on the final score, Fury said of the use of AI: “F**k all computers.
“Keep the humans going. More jobs for humans, less jobs for computers.”
His disappointment over the result came across in the post-fight press conference though, as the 36-year-old put himself through hell in training camp, going as far to claiming that he hadn’t spoken to his wife or kids in three months as he had his mind set on the rematch.
Fury also revealed that prior to his first fight against Usyk, Paris had suffered a miscarriage, highlighting a tough period for his family.
Sadly for the Furys, Tyson couldn’t best Usyk in the ring, and the frustration was clear on his wife’s face when the judge’s score cards were read aloud after 12 rounds of boxing.

With the camera on her, Paris nervously took some deep breaths, and upon hearing that all three judges scored the fight 116-112, she confidently said ‘Tyson’, before hearing that Usyk had won yet again.
Her expression changed, looking confused and bemused by the decision, shaking her head as boos could be heard from the crowd behind her.
Though the loss will be taken hard by fans of the Wythenshawe-born fighter, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn was quick to tease a potential match against Anthony Joshua for Fury, which is sure to whet the appetite of any sports fan.
Fans took to social media to share what they though of Paris’ reaction to the result, as one wrote: “You can see she knew Fury lost but had to stay in character for the cameras.”
Another said: “She knows she won’t see Tyson at all in 2025,” with a laughing emoji.
A third joked: “She’s like ‘what have you achieved by not talking to me for 3 months?'”
