Paris Fury has responded to her husband Tyson's latest interview in which he revealed they haven't spoken to each other for months as he prepares for his next fight. The Wythenshawe-born boxer will meet Oleksandr Usyk for the second time in Riyadh on Saturday (December 21) when the Ukrainian’s WBC, WBA and WBO world heavyweight titles will be on the line. Usyk is favourite to repeat his success in May when he inflicted the first career defeat on Fury via a split decision, seizing his rival’s WBC belt to become the first undisputed world heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 2000.

"I’ll end his career, this will be, you’ll never hear about Oleksandr Usyk again after this," he told Queensberry Promotions . He went on to share: "It’s been a long camp, hasn’t seen my wife and kids in three months.
I haven’t spoken to [my wife] at all in three months. Not one word, sacrificed a lot. But it’ll all be worth it, 100 per cent.
" Paris has now shared a clip of Tyson's interview on her Instagram Story and said: "People don't see the sacrifices made. I've let him solely concentrate on this fight. It seems like he's been gone forever, especially with no contact.
But if it's what he needs." It comes after Paris recently told how she "made up a lie" to husband Tyson as she suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage. The couple are proud parents to seven children and were preparing to welcome baby number eight into the world.

She told OK! magazine: "I knew I had to make some decisions. Was I going to tell Tyson? I went to the hospital thinking, I don't want to have to actually go through the birth of having this child, so my friend came with me.
" She continued: "At the hospital, they told me, 'You're too far on to be put to sleep. You've got to have the baby.' I was meant to be flying over to Tyson but I had to decide - do I tell him? I came to the conclusion that whatever was happening with me, he couldn't make it better, or change what was going to come.
" Paris decided not to tell her husband because she didn't want to impact his fight. She explained: "I could change dramatically what was happening in his life. He wouldn't have been able to fight.
His brain would have been all over the place. So I made the decision to not tell him.".
