However, Tyson Fury fears that his wife Paris might file a divorce if he decided to take the ‘Wilder vs Fury 3’ contest on Christmas.

While interacting with Daily Mirror, Tyson Fury opened up on his possible matchup against Anthony Joshua along with his upcoming fight against Deontay Wilder. During the interview, The Gypsy King clarified that he won’t be fighting Deontay Wilder on Christmas and said that Christmas is a very religious time for his family. Career and sport aside, family comes first and there are 364 other days a year to go and make money and he doesn’t need it that much. There is plenty of other time for boxing. He would fight as late as December 20 but not Christmas Day as it would probably end in his divorce too.
