PARIS Fury has expressed her regret that she wasn't ringside to watch her husband Tyson Fury's historic fight in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.

The British boxer may have lost his chance to become the world's undisputed heavyweight champion this time round, but he sure hasn’t lost the affection of his devoted wife.

Posting on her Instagram following her husband's defeat to Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk, Paris, 34, told her Gypsy King that she would "never not be at your side for a fight again".

The mum-of-seven said she feels the pangs of regret for her absence from the historic match at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, writing: “19 and 20 on this newly married, love him more than ever, best man in my eyes. 

“Will never not be at your side for a fight again. Even though I couldn't be there, I wished I was.”

Overlaying a photo of the couple in their younger years sharing a loving embrace, Paris reaffirmed her devotion to the Gypsy King by adding in the traditional 'to have and to hold' marriage vows to her post. 

Despite usually being present whenever Tyson, 35, is in the ring, Paris recently revealed that she ‘hates’ watching her husband fight. 

“I hate it, I've got to be truthful, that's the flat out answer. I support him but I don't enjoy it. I hate being there but on the other hand, I feel like I have to be there.

“I feel like, if I'm not there, what happens if something goes wrong and I’m not with him?” she admitted.

Meanwhile, Usyk’s wife Yekaterina embraced the limelight in a cream wide-legged trouser suit and was seen posing for snaps with ex boxer Wladimir Klitschko. 

She beamed with pride and didn’t hesitate to deliver a victory kiss to her Usyk after his historic win was announced. 

Despite Tyson surviving the brutal onslaught in round nine, fears are mounting over the possibility he may hang up his boxing gloves for good and retire.

Commenting on the fight, former World Champion Johnny Nelson told Sky Sports: "I think Tyson Fury will be devastated at the result of that.

"Tyson's team will have serious conversations about motivating him after this and get his mind back."

Despite speculation around Fury's potential retirement, the Gypsy King insisted he was the real winner and didn't rule out a rematch in the future, saying: "We both put on a good fight. His country is at war, so people are siding with the country at war.

"Make no mistake, I won that fight in my opinion. We've got a rematch clause.

"I've had a split decision loss to a good little man. We run it back in October. Well done Oleksandr."

Paris and Tyson have been together since they were teenagers.

They met at a mutual friend's wedding in 2005 when Paris was 15 and Tyson 17 and officially started dating after seeing each other again by accident at Paris' 16th birthday party.

They tied the knot in Doncaster in November 2008.
