Paris Fury opens up to Notebook magazine about renewing her wedding vows, how Tyson has struggled after Ricky Hatton’s death, her daughter’s engagement and collagen beauty secrets in a wide-ranging interview
Paris Fury has opened up about her ‘trad wife’ rules as part of a wide-ranging new interview with the Sunday Mirror’s Notebook magazine.
“My main goal in life—and I might sound like a ‘trad wife’ here—is that my seven kids grow up happy and healthy, find partners, and make themselves happy,” she admits. “For me, success is just continuing to be happy and healthy and watching my kids grow up well. I think that’s a great success in itself.”
She is quick to point out that family life always comes first. So much so that she has turned down a host of TV work because the timing wasn’t right.
“The work I do has to fit around my home life, because my home comes first,” she says. “I’m in a very privileged position to say I do things because I want to and because I really believe in them, not for payment. I’ve always wanted a big family and believe if you have one, you should raise them if you can.”

Despite their success, the Furys remain fiercely committed to their normal life in the Lancashire seaside town of Morecombe they call home.
“We’re happy here,” Paris insists. “The kids go to a tiny, normal school. People know who we are, but we’re not a fascination. In other places, it’s autographs and paparazzi. Here, we’re just Tyson and Paris.”
Her daily routine is less red carpet, more military operation. “I never sit down for more than five minutes,” she says. “My fitness watch says I rack up 10 or 12 miles a day just in the house—making beds, washing, cleaning, cooking for 10 people. I am very house-proud.” And what’s the heavyweight champion of the world doing while all this is going on?
“He’s getting shouted at to get the kids’ shoes on” she laughs. “He does help; he takes them on the school run some mornings. But he couldn’t handle my life. He says his training camp is like a health spa compared to looking after all these kids. In camp, he gets up, gets fed, does his training, and then rests in a silent room.”
Paris has spent the last few weeks deep in planning-mode for her eldest daughter Venezuela’s 16th birthday. It turns out to be an extra-special affair as Venezuela’s boxer boyfriend Noah Price got down on one knee at the bash to propose.
And Paris is delighted by the prospect of having a new son-in-law in the family. She admits: “ We’re all really happy for her and Noah—they’re a great match and genuinely excited about this next chapter in her life.
“Yes, she’s young, but as we all know, that’s in line with our traditions and values. I was engaged to Tyson at 17, so we’re not far off in age. I did encourage her to wait as long as possible, but she was determined, and this is what they truly wanted.”
Given her hectic pace of life, it’s perhaps no surprise that her wellness regime is also performed at break-neck speed. “I’ve always been one for vitamins and skincare, but I’m usually quick—wash my face, put cream on, and get out the door,” she says.
It’s why Eternal Collagen appealed to me so much. “It’s a really strong dose of 15,000milligrams in one shot in the morning, it’s packed full of your essential vitamins like Vitamin D, biotin, K2 , and it tastes good,” she says.
“It’s also got Echinacea, and B12 in it, which is great for immunity, I think this has kept me from getting the cold that the rest of the house has.” She’s noticed other side effects too having taken it for three months.
“After having Rico and a miscarriage, my hair went a bit limp and fine, which really bugged me,” she says. “But my hairdresser just said my hair feels lovely, and for the first time in 20 years, my own natural nails are finally growing.”
Paris says she’s worked hard to lose the baby weight since Rico was born by “ training consistently, eating right and making the right choices in life.” She adds: “The collagen has really helped with bringing a glow back to my skin and keeping it tight and firm. It’s become part of my little self-care ritual – it’s quick, it’s easy, and it makes me feel good inside and out. It really has given me that little boost of confidence, even on the days when I don’t have much time to get ready.”
