Tyson Fury has cut off all contact with his wife Paris during his training camp
Tyson Fury has revealed that he has not spoken to his wife Paris in three months ahead of his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk this weekend.
The 36-year-old was beaten by Usyk in May in their fight to become the undisputed world heavyweight champion.
Fury has been training in Malta since October for the rematch against the Ukrainian, which takes place in Saudi Arabia on Saturday evening.
And during his training camp, Fury has revealed that he has decided to cut off all communication with his family, including wife Paris and their seven children.
‘I can’t wait [for the fight], I wish it was tonight and I was going home in the morning,’ Fury said in an interview with Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions.
‘It’s been a long camp, been away from my wife and kids for three months, I’ve not spoken to Paris at all in three months, not one word.
‘Yeah, been sacrificed a lot. Listen, it’ll be worth it, 100 per cent.’

Meanwhile, Fury also concedes that he should have opted to postpone his fight with Usyk for a second time earlier this year.
Fury suffered a nasty cut on his eye during a sparring session in February, which pushed back the original fight date of February 17.
The 36-year-old was given extra time to recover and was unable to withdraw from the fight for a second time unless he paid a £10 million fine.
‘This time it’s been a lot easier,’ Fury said in a separate interview Sky Sports.
‘I’ve done lots of sparring and I’ve been able to train properly, whereas before it’s no secret that I didn’t do a lot of sparring, hence I had a massive bounty on my cut eye.
‘Thinking sensible, maybe I would have pushed it back a little bit and cost myself £10 million, but it doesn’t really matter because we’re here now and I’m going to do the job on Saturday night.’
