Tyson Fury Reveals Wife Had Miscarriage Before Oleksandr Usyk Fight

Tyson Fury says his wife had a miscarriage just before he fought Oleksandr Usyk.

Just before Fury was supposed to box Usyk, his wife unfortunately had a miscarriage while she was six months pregnant. Due to how close she was to the birth, Fury said it was such a hard time for her and his family.

“She lost [the baby] on the Friday of the fight, which was pretty s—–,” Tyson Fury said, via ESPN. “I am not ­making excuses but she was six months pregnant. It’s not like a small miscarriage at the beginning. You have to physically give birth to a dead child, on your own, while your husband is in a foreign country. I could not be there for her, in that moment, and that is tough for me. I have been with the woman for longer than I wasn’t with her, so it is hard that I couldn’t be there with her.”

Tyson Fury says he felt like something was wrong before he even left England, but she wouldn’t let him know. Unfortnately, while he was away for the fight, he got confirmation that their kid did not make it.

“When she said she couldn’t come over, I knew there was a problem. She usually comes out on fight week but she had high blood pressure and couldn’t come. I asked her what was up and to tell me but she wouldn’t. So I knew,” Fury added. “I knew. I knew there was a problem. I said to my brother: ‘She’s lost that baby.” She never told me she had lost the baby, but I knew. When I got back I got the inevitable confirmation that it was gone but she kept it to herself.”

It was a tough thing to go through and now Tyson Fury will look to put all that behind him when he rematches Usyk in December. It will be a highly-anticipated bout and one Fury has confidence he will pull off the upset.
