Tyson Fury Reveals Marriage Advice Given to Future Son-in-Law
World heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury has disclosed the heartfelt marriage counsel he provided to his future son-in-law, amateur boxer Noah Price, when Price nervously requested permission to marry Fury's daughter, Venezuela. The encounter occurred in September after the couple's engagement, with Fury granting his blessing following a candid man-to-man conversation.
A Nervous Request and Fatherly Guidance
Fury recounted that Price visited him to formally ask for his daughter's hand in marriage. "He did ask for my permission. He came in and sat down and I explained that marriage is not an easy thing and they are only young kids," Fury stated. The boxing legend emphasized he queried whether this was truly what the couple desired, receiving an affirmative response before offering his approval.
"Fair play, he wasn't shaking but I could tell he was nervous. Fair play to him," Fury added, acknowledging Price's composure despite the intimidating situation. He humorously noted the similarity between Price and himself, remarking, "He's a heavyweight boxer and they say that a daughter always goes for someone like her dad and she definitely has!"
Wedding Plans and Fight Focus
While the wedding date remains undisclosed, Fury has delegated all planning responsibilities to his wife, Paris, and daughter Venezuela. This allows him to concentrate fully on his imminent comeback bout against Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Saturday. "I'm looking forward to it, but that will have to wait until after Saturday night," Fury explained.
He praised their efforts, saying, "Fair play to Paris and Venezuela, they've actually done this wedding without my input at all. I've had zero to do with it. I'm away doing business." Fury emphasized his singular focus on the upcoming fight, asserting, "I'm not thinking about domestic stuff at home. I'm thinking about the fight and that's it. I'm out of bounds. Don't tell me about anything like that."
Light-Hearted Moments and Future Celebrations
In a lighter vein, Fury joked about potential stag do festivities, quipping, "I don't know if he's had a stag do yet – if he does, I'll be there and I'll bring the strippers." This comment underscores the champion's characteristic blend of seriousness and humour, reflecting his supportive yet pragmatic approach to the upcoming union.
The story highlights a personal side of the famed boxer, showcasing his role as a protective father while balancing professional commitments in the demanding world of heavyweight boxing.
