Tyson Fury has revealed that his wife, Paris, is pregnant with their seventh child.
The world heavyweight champion boxer, who lives in Morecambe with his family, made the announcement to his 5.8million Instagram followers earlier this week.
In a post he said: “All is not lost. I do get to [have] a date night with my beautiful, pregnant wife. God is great.
“What a woman. Seventh [child] incoming. Fantastic news to cheer me up.”
Paris, 33, shared the same post to her own Instagram page and said: “Baby seven on the way, God willing.”
Tyson and Paris have six other children including: Venezuela, 12, Prince John James, 10, Prince Tyson II, six, Valencia, five, Prince Adonis Amaziah, four, and Athena, 19 months.
The good news comes as the proposed undisputed heavyweight title fight between Tyso and Oleksandr Usyk has fallen through.
Talks between the two camps have taken place in recent months and an official announcement for an April 29 showdown had appeared close.
However, the unification bout in London is now definitely off, according to the PA news agency.
WBC champion Fury called out Usyk, who holds the WBA, IBF and WBO belts, following his victory over Derek Chisora at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in December.
Defending himself on Instagram video, Tyson launched a hate-fuelled rant at Usyk calling him a s***house.
“You proper little s*** bag. You bog-eyed, gappy teethed, ugly little rat b*****d.
“You little slimy f*****. Tried all week to get out of [the fight] begging for the rematch like a little girl.
“you got the rematch and didn’t even want to fight at that, you little s***house p****.
“You were never man enough to tangle with the Gyspy King.
“Keep running... always know that you and anyone else like you could never tangle with the Gypsy King.”
