“She lost [the baby] on the Friday of the fight, which was pretty shitty,” Tyson Fury said, via ESPN, at media day in London on Wednesday ahead of his rematch against Usyk, scheduled for December 21.

“I'm not making excuses, but she was six months pregnant. It's not like a small miscarriage at first. You have to physically give birth to a dead child, alone, while your husband is at home. stranger.

“I couldn't be there for her at that time, and it's hard for me. I've been with this woman longer than I was with her. So, it's hard not to be able to be there with her.”

Fury added that he thought at the time something was wrong with his wife's pregnancy before her fight because she couldn't travel to Riyadh.

“When she said she couldn’t come, I knew there was a problem,” he said. “She usually comes out the week of the fight, but she had high blood pressure and couldn't come. I asked her what was going on and to tell me, but she didn't. So, I knew.

“I told my brother, 'She lost that baby.' She never told me she had lost the baby, but I found out when I returned, I had the inevitable confirmation that it was missing, but she kept it to herself.

Fury said his wife had suffered miscarriages in the past, but he was clearly upset talking about this one.

“Will we have more children? I don't know if she's back to normal after this. It takes her a long time to get over it. But no more morbid stuff now because I'm going to burst into tears,” he declared.

Fury will return to the ring later this year despite his numerous retirements. His last retirement was in August 2022, which he announced on social media, three days after announcing he would return for another fight.

But he fought later that year against former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in October 2022, followed by Derek Chisora ​​in December of the same year.
