Paris Fury miscarried just days before she was due to meet her husband Tyson for his title fight against Ukrainian rival Oleksandr Usyk.
The family were expecting another child when the mum-of-seven attended a routine gender scan. Paris remembers she was “alone at the time.”
“Tyson was in Saudi Arabia getting ready for his fight in the training camp, I’d had my 12-week scan, and everything was well, so I’d just popped in for a gender scan. Obviously having had multiple pregnancies, I just got a friend to watch the kids and I thought I’d come down and find out what it is, and then I could tell Tyson when I went over to join him in Saudi,” reports the Mirror.

As she sat on the bed for her scan, Paris recalled how she expected to see the flutter of a tiny heartbeat on the ultrasound screen. She said: “I knew there was a problem. I didn’t know, my head was sort of telling me, actually, no, you’re wrong… but I was looking at screen, thinking, ‘Why is that not flickering?’”

Then came the devastating news. She added: “The sonographer said to me, ‘I’m really sorry, Paris, there’s no heartbeat.’ I jumped up, started to cry, and said, ‘No, hold on, hold on. No, no, wait,’ and went all frantic.” In shock and disbelief, Paris, who lives in Morecambe, Lancashire, made the sonographer scan her again.
Unable to 100% confirm the terrible news, she was booked in at Lancaster Hospital next day.
Paris recalled walking out of the building in tears. She added: “I thought, ‘I can’t go home to the kids and be crying and hysterical like this.’”
Paris added: “I’ve had three miscarriages. I lost one in the first trimester, and two in the second trimester, two that I’ve had to deliver. We’ve buried two baby boys.” And she praised hospital staff for the handling of her latest trauma.
Paris, who had only given birth to their youngest, Rico, eight months earlier, said of giving birth: “When I went in, they said I was too far on to be put to sleep and told me, ‘You’ve got to have the baby.’ The staff were amazing. There was a midwife with me the whole way through. It’s a horrific ordeal to go through but they were exceptional.”

Paris said: “I knew it would come out and the day it did, I was happy to talk about it.
“It makes it normal for other people to know that they’re not the only ones it happens to.” Speaking about the mental anguish women suffer with a miscarriage, she added: “Don’t blame yourself.
“At the time it feels like your world is ripped to pieces. But I know everyone can get through it.”
