HE is already a father of seven but just like his boxing career, Tyson Fury is not done yet.
The former heavyweight world champ, 37, has revealed he and wife Paris are aiming to have ten kids before they are well and truly satisfied.
And given how well his relationship is going, there is a real possibility the Gypsy King will achieve another lofty ambition.
Tyson says: “My love life’s thriving, I’m having sex at least four or five times a week.
“Paris, she is that ride-or-die chick. The woman’s been my wife for 20 years near on.
“Is she the luckiest lady on Earth? One hundred per cent.”
And on the subject of children, he adds: “We might have another child, number eight. Just to see if I’ve still got it.
“But I want ten. It was always going to be ten.”
Tyson was speaking during the second series of his hit reality series At Home With The Furys, which returns to Netflix this week.
The show gives a glimpse into the chaotic lives of the 6ft 9in fighter and 36-year-old Paris while they bring up their seven children — Venezuela, 16, Prince, 13, Tyson II, eight, Valencia, six, Adonis, five, Athena, four, and Rico, two.
Just like the debut series, which aired in 2023, Tyson starts off enjoying the fruits of retirement before the pull of boxing once again tempts him back into the ring, despite Paris and his dad John trying to convince him otherwise.
Tyson pushes Paris to the brink at times, mostly because of his bipolar disorder which, as she puts it, “is like being married to somebody new every day”.
Not forgetting his total lack of empathy for her own stresses . . . “You’re hormonal and broody all the time, that’s why you’re having these mood swings,” he says.
“This is the longest she’s been in her adult life not being pregnant. She’s feeling it.”
But Tyson, who admits “I’d be f**ked if we got divorced,” is unwavering in his love for Paris, which makes it easier for her to overcome the dark times and his “addiction” to boxing.
He explains: “We’ve overcome everything, from A to Z. We’ve been broken up loads of times, we’ve had loads of arguments.
“She leaves to her mother’s for a week or two or even a month. But when God puts a man and woman together, nothing can tear them apart.”
Tyson adds: “If I told Paris I’d just killed somebody, she’d be like, ‘Where the f**** are we burying them?’. That’s the type of chick she is.”
Tyson shows his commitment to Paris by renewing their wedding vows for a third time on a holiday to the South of France.
As always, the sunshine break doesn’t go without incident — the boxer walks away from his family when the heat, combined with his kids and Paris arguing over the purchase of slushies during a walk, becomes too much.
But once again he pulls out all the stops to give Paris another wedding to re- member in a Nice church.
Tyson believes romantic gestures are vital in a marriage.
He explains: “I grew up in a home where my parents did not have that romantic thing.
The 16-year-old keeps her relationship with Noah Price, 18, secret for most of the series, until they are outed online following a social media post by her future fiancé.
This enables Venezuela to speak openly about her romance — as well as Paris’s fears over the prospect her eldest daughter and best friend, who is like a “second pair of hands” around the house, would soon be flying the nest.
And Tyson reacted surprisingly well to his daughter’s relationship.
He says: “As a father of a 15-year-old who is about to turn 16 and get engaged, how am I feeling? I’m not too sure, it’s all come a bit soon.
“Hopefully they all go and live happily ever after like a fairytale.
“Over the last couple of years she’s gone from being a daddy’s girl to a woman not interested in dad any more. So yeah, it’s difficult.”
Despite Tyson being relatively relaxed about the romance, that still didn’t make it any easier for Noah to ask his permission to marry Venezuela, which was captured in the finale of the ten- episode series.
Noah is seen shaking as he enters Tyson’s mansion in Morecambe, Lancs — which the clan will soon be leaving for a new life in the Isle of Man — after the fighter greets him outside.
He plans to propose at the end of Venezuela’s 16th birthday party later that night.
Noah says: “I was nervous. Of all the father-in-laws I was going to pick, I picked the world champion
“I was practising the words over and over in my head.
“I was just hoping he was going to say yes.”
After listening to Noah’s views on marriage, which matched his mantra of “only do it once, for life, there’s no divorces in our culture”, Tyson grants his permission and gives his young fellow boxer a hug.
Tyson’s dream of ten kids may soon be topped up with grandchildren.
Tyson has ignored Paris’s plea to quit boxing, by taking on Arslanbek Makhmudov in his comeback fight this Saturday.
Despite his best attempts to “stay retired”, the Gypsy King simply could not turn down the opportunity to get back in the ring.
The former champ, whose fight at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London will be screened on Netflix, opens up in the new series of At Home With The Furys about why he can’t say no to the sport he loves.
He says: “Boxing is more addictive than drugs and alcohol.
“You can get away from drugs and alcohol, but you can’t get away from boxing. It takes over your life.
“I’ve been born and bred to do what I do. I’m a soldier who doesn’t know anything else other than to fight and die, and that’s it.”
When asked if he is too old for another comeback, Tyson points out that he is two years younger than 39-year-old Usyk, the undisputed world champion who beat him in back-to-back bouts in 2024 – Sun.
