Tyson Fury has expressed his fears over the health of wife Paris Fury after she brought their seventh child into the world.
The WBC heavyweight world champion shares seven children with his childhood sweetheart wife, welcoming Prince Rico Paris Fury, known as Rico, back in September. The straightforward birth of Rico came two years after their daughter Athena had to be resuscitated after being born with an abnormally fast heart rate.
Fury, 35, has previously stated that the couple could get into double figures with children, but that might not be the case according to her interview with OK! In which she revealed the name of their newborn and said that Tyson missed the birth while in training camp for his bout against Francis Ngannou in October.

When asked if they could reach the target of ten kids mentioned by Tyson in the past, Paris said: "Every time we have another he says: 'No more Paris! It’s too hard!'
"He gets emotional and says: 'You could die'. Because of what happened with Athena. But then the child will get to nursery age and I always think: 'Oh I’d like a newborn!' I’ve always wanted a big family.
"I’ve seen a few negative comments saying: 'Oh they’ve got so many kids'. But we’re looking after them, we’re feeding them, I protect them all. They’re all happy and healthy and they all love each other, so I don’t see the problem."
