Tyson Fury Expands Family With 7th 'Perfect' Child

Tyson Fury and his wife, Paris Fury, are thrilled to announce the arrival of their seventh child, a baby boy.

They registered their immense joy and happiness at this addition to their family in a social media post that has received over 300k likes and thousands of comments. As for their other kids, their eldest, Venezuela, is 13 years old, and the rest of their children include ten-year-old Prince John James, six-year-old Prince 'Tutty' Tyson, five-year-old Valencia, four-year-old Prince Adonis Amaziah, and two-year-old Athena. 

In the early hours of Monday morning, the Furys celebrated the birth of their baby boy, born at 2:29 a.m. and weighing six pounds and 13 ounces. The heavyweight champion shared the update of the tot's arrival on Instagram, posting an image of him and his wife standing in front of a sunflower wallpaper.

The 35-year-old placed his hand in the pocket of his jumper, which he paired with a blue long-sleeved shirt, matching shorts, and a face cap. His wife, on the other hand, pouted slightly at the camera as she held their newborn in her arms.

The seven-time dad simply wrote in the accompanying caption, "He's here and he's perfect," alongside the heart and crown emojis. The good news expectedly tugged at the heartstrings of Tyson's fans and they promptly expressed their support without hesitation.

"Congratulations to you all. Such a wonderful blessing," one person commented, as another exclaimed, "Congratulations guys! I'm sitting here in the hospital with my wife waiting for our baby girl to be born later today."

A third fan declared that the boxer and his wife deserved "all the happiness life brings," and a fourth added, "Wow! Congratulations to you both. God is amazing. Number 7 biblically signifies perfection."

Tyson and Paris have been thrilling their fans since their relationship, which began in their teenage years, went public. They became even more endearing after Tyson revealed in his 2020 documentary, "Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King," that he and his partner have a naming tradition.

They opt to name their sons beginning with "Prince" and their daughters after countries and cities, following the example set by their mother. According to PEOPLE, he had previously shed light on the tradition in 2011 when he stated during an interview:

"One night, while I was sleeping, I thought of Venezuela. My wife is called Paris. I'm Tyson and [gesturing to his son] he's called Prince John James. If the girl had a normal name it wouldn't fit in, would it? I wanted to call the boy Patrick but the wife didn't want it."

Tyson and Paris had previously faced every parent's worst nightmare as his then-newborn daughter, Athena, was admitted to the intensive care unit shortly after her birth. The British star had ensured that he kept fans updated since Paris gave birth to the now-two-year-old, even though he kept the details of what happened under wraps.

Calling on his fans to help him, the "At Home with the Furys" star shared on social media, "Please can everyone pray for my baby girl who was born this morning. Athena Fury born 8/8/21. Thanks. God is great." 

He later mentioned that Paris was doing well but continued to ask for prayers for Athena as she remained in the ICU. Luckily, it seemed the prayers and medical attention worked, as Tyson later updated fans that, "The baby is in a stable position and doing well – hopefully she comes out of ICU today."

In honor of his baby girl and her fight to stay with her famous parents, the 2015 world champion launched a fundraiser for the Ronald McDonald House, Alder Hey Liverpool.

"Do you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of Alder Hey Children's Charity and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me," Tyson wrote in the description of the GoFundMe.

He also partook in a charitable effort, offering two signed WBC boxing belts for a charity auction. The "Behind the Mask: My Autobiography" author made this announcement while standing outside the Children's Hospital in Liverpool and encouraged his fans to contribute to the cause.
