Tyson Fury's trainer reveals the Gypsy King's heart-breaking anguish over his wife Paris' tragic miscarriage before Oleksandr Usyk defeat

Tyson Fury 'wasn't himself' during his heavyweight title defeat against Oleksandr Usyk according to a member of his coaching team after the boxer's wife, Paris, suffered a tragic miscarriage the day before their May fight. The Gypsy King will lock horns with Usyk for the second time on Saturday 21 December where he will attempt to reclaim his crown and become a three-time heavyweight world champion.

Usyk inflicted a first-ever career defeat on Fury in May as the Ukrainian became the world undisputed champion in convincing fashion, but tragedy was later revealed to have hit the Englishman's camp just a day before the bout. Fury and Usyk faced each other in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, - the same location for their rematch - but the Gypsy King's wife, Paris, was absent.

Her absence was unusual as Paris typically accompanies Fury at his fights, often sitting ringside and upon victory joining him in the ring, but was noticeably missing for arguably the biggest fight of her husband's career. It later emerged that she had tragically miscarried their baby boy six months into pregnancy on the eve of Fury's fight against Usyk but didn't tell him until afterwards - only for the Manchester-born boxer to later reveal he knew deep down because she wasn't present in Riyadh.
