Tyson Fury asks fans to 'pray' as wife Paris gives birth to baby girl

Tyson Fury has asked fans to pray after he and wife Paris welcomed their sixth child, a baby girl.

Boxer Tyson announced the birth of his new baby girl on social media on Sunday.

Tyson revealed that Loose Woman Paris had given birth and confirmed that the proud parents have named their baby Athena - reports the Manchester Evening News.

He wrote: "Please can everyone pray for my baby girl who was born this morning. Athena Fury born 8/8/21. Thanks. God is great."

Hours before giving birth Paris, 31, shared a video clip from the hospital showing Tyson watching boxing on his phone.

She said: "Even in this situation he’s watching the boxing," with a laughing-face emoji.

And as Tyson filmed his wife tucking into a meal in her hospital bed as they waited for their baby girl she wrote jokingly: "He is dangerous with a camera.

"Think he's bored now. We nearly at the end of day two in here and still no little girly."

The couple announced that Paris was pregnant in February.

And they revealed that they were expecting a baby girl.

In a chat with sports broadcaster Gareth A Davies, Tyson said: "Paris is pregnant again and the Lord has blessed us definitely with another child and I'm very thankful."

Paris, 31, took to Instagram to share the news of the unborn baby's gender in a sweet snap of the family during a gender reveal party.

Paris was pictured with Tyson and their children as they let off confetti cannons that filled their room with pink confetti.

She wrote: "It's a girl. We are due another little princess, god willing come summer we will have 3 girls and 3 boys. So blessed."

The couple have been married since 2009 and are doting parents to daughters Venezuela, 11, and three-year-old Valencia Amber and sons Prince John James, eight, Prince Tyson II, four and Prince Adonis, one.

Last month Tyson’s scheduled fight against Deontay Wilder was postponed after the boxer tested positive for Covid. It will now take place in October.
