Paris Fury has responded to her husband Tyson revealing that they haven't said a 'single word' to each other during the star fighter's training camp for Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury meets Usyk for a second time on Saturday following their undisputed showdown last May.
The previously-undefeated Brit surrendered the WBC world heavyweight title as the Ukrainian edged out by split decision to claim the iconic green and gold belt.

But the self-proclaimed 'Gypsy King' has the chance to exact revenge when he renews hostilities with Usyk in their rematch.
Speaking ahead of their Riyadh fight, Fury opened up about his 'long training camp', revealing that he hasn't spoken to his wife for 'three months'.
"It's been a long camp. Been away from my wife and kids for three months," he told Dev Sahni on Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions YouTube channel.
"I've not spoken to Paris at all for three months, not one word. Yeah, I've sacrificed a lot.
"It will be worth it, 100 percent."
Paris has now spoken out on the agreement between him, her and the children, confirming there has been no contact.
"People don't see the sacrifices made," she wrote in a post on her Instagram story on Wednesday.
"I've let him solely concentrate on this fight. It seems like he's been gone forever, especially with no contact.
"But if it's what he needs."
Usyk, who's putting his WBA (super), WBO and WBC world titles on the line, was asked about Fury abstaining from contact with his family.
He explained: "I speak with my wife every day. Every time, every second, every minute.
"My children too. It’s helped me because it’s my family.
"It doesn’t matter what Tyson [does], for me, it matters what I do," he added, before revealing that his youngest daughter, Maria, has started walking on her own.
"[She has also started to talk, saying,] mama, baba. This is the real motivation for me."
