Footage has emerged showing exactly how Tyson Fury’s wife reacted when it was announced that her husband had lost against Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday evening.
Paris, 35, was pictured at ringside as Tyson, 36, looked to avenge his previous defeat, which he sustained against Usyk, 37, back in May.
But, once again, the Ukrainian reigned supreme to keep hold of his WBC, WBA and WBO heavyweight championship belts at the Kingdom Arena.

After the bout went the full scheduled 12 rounds, viewers at home and fans at ringside eagerly waited for Bruce Buffer to announce the judges’ decision.
Unfortunately for Team Fury, the ‘Gypsy King’ was dealt his second professional loss.
Usyk was awarded a unanimous decision points victory, with all three judges scoring the contest 116-112 in favour of the unified heavyweight champion.
Fans were keen to catch a glimpse of Paris, who was sitting just feet from the ring’s apron.
Of course, during the build-up to the fight, Tyson revealed that he had completely ghosted his wife for the last three months.
"It’s been a long camp, hasn’t seen my wife and kids in three months,” he told Queensberry Promotions YouTube channel.
"I haven’t spoken to [my wife] at all in three months. Not one word sacrificed a lot. But it’ll all be worth it, 100 per cent."
Fans questioned the validity of the statement, with some thinking that the statement was just part of the pre-fight ‘mind games’.
However, Paris confirmed that it was “true” when speaking to iFL TV.
"Yes, it's true,” she said.
"I think after the last fight, everything that went on previously, personally in our lives and then Tyson obviously had the outcome last time, I just think he decided this on his own. And I had to support him in it.
"He didn't want to be involved in family life, so he's cut himself off from us for the last few months. He's put himself in a serious, serious condition and he looks very, very determined.”
A video of Paris’ reaction to her husband’s defeat has now emerged.
She could be seen taking deep breaths and mouthing 'Tyson' as she waited for Buffer to announce the result before ultimately shaking her head in disappointment as the Manchester-born heavyweight learned his feat.
Fans on social media gave their thoughts on Paris’ reaction.
One said: "Her man just made 72 mill. I’d be smiling."
A second added: "She knew it was lost after round 7."
While a third commented: "That's love & concern! Fury won in life!"
