Tyson Fury has revealed his wife Paris is expecting the couple's seventh child.
Fury, 34, who today saw his fight with Oleksandr Usyk collapse, took to social media to make the announcement. Posting a photo of himself and his wife, he said: "I get to do date night with my beautiful pregnant wife Paris, Gods is great. Seventh baby incoming, fantastic news to cheer me up."
Paris, 33, and Tyson already have six children; Venezuela, 14, Prince John James 10, Prince Tyson Fury II, five, Valencia Amber, four, Prince Adonis Amaziah, three, and one-year-old Athena. The couple have been together since they were teenagers and tied the knot in 2008.
Fury, who holds one of the four heavyweight world titles, had been in training camp for a bout with Usyk which was pencilled in for April 29 at Wembley. But the rivals failed to agree terms and the undisputed fight was officially cancelled on Thursday.
Fury took to social media earlier to vent his anger at the collapse of what would have been one of the biggest heavyweight fights in history. "Usyk you little s***house, you proper little s***bag, bog-eyed, gappy-toothed ugly little rat b******," Fury said in a video. "You slimy f***er, tried all week to get out of it, begging for a rematch like a little girl. You got your rematch then didn't want to fight you little s***house p*****.
"Always know p**** you were never man enough to tangle with the Gypsy King, ever in your life you little s***house. You little 14-stone coward, you little s***bag, you rat little b******. All your team know it as well, and all the lawyers have the full information you little ugly b******. Fight Dubois at the Copper Box now s***bag and always know that you, and anyone else like you, could never tangle with the Gypsy King you s***house little coward."
Usyk will now pursue a mandatory defence of his three belts against Daniel Dubois with Fury left scrambling around for an opponent. And the undefeated Brit could even announce his retirement is he fails to secure a lucrative fight.

"Everything's too raw at the moment," Fury's promoter Frank Warren told Seconds Out. "Listen, he may retire. I don't know what he wants to do. He'll do whatever he wants to do. Tyson is very p***ed off because he has been in training constantly and it is not a conversation we have had yet. He will do whatever he wants to do, everyone sitting outside the ring with their comments but he is the guy who gets in the ring.
"Tyson wants to be out and he is frustrating but some things are just not meant to happen. Whatever he chooses to do but I am there with him. All I know is the facts that we can deal with is the facts that the WBA put out that Usyk's next fight is with Daniel Dubois so that is what we are working on."
