Paris Fury has opened up the challenge she and boxer husband Tyson Fury faced when it came to their eldest daughter's education. The mum-of-six defended their decision to allow Venezuela to leave school aged 11 and admitted it was one of the biggest challenges they've faced as parents.
Like her husband, Paris was raised in an Irish Traveller family and a devout practising Catholic. The 32-year-old wanted to follow traveller tradition by allowing their daughter to leave her studies after primary school, but Tyson wasn't convinced about the move.
Their busy schedule was a factor in the boxing champion eventually agreeing that Venezuela, now 12, should leave school, reports The Mirror. Paris, who owns properties with Tyson in Lancashire and in Las Vegas, said: "We move so much. It wouldn’t work if they were in school full-time to then be off to America."

The couple are also parents to Prince John James, nine, Prince Tyson II, four, Valencia, three, Prince Adonis Amaziah, two, and one-year-old Athena. Paris told The Sun: "We finish school at primary age, which is the traditional traveller way.
"We’ve just brought the tradition into the 21st century. Venezuela wanted to leave school and all her [traveller] friends were leaving." She went on to reveal that a tutor will be helping her daughter keep up to date with her studies and that Venezuela is also having piano lessons.
In the 2021 documentary Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King, Paris spoke about their varying views when it comes to their children's education. In one scene, she said: "Me and Tyson have talked about the kids going to school. Tyson wants the boys to go into education but I don't; it's just not what we've ever done."
