Tyson Fury is set to enforce a strict rule for his 16-year-old daughter Venezuela after she announced her engagement to a boxer.
Fury is widely regarded as one of the greatest British heavyweight boxers of all time, having held multiple titles throughout his career.
The 37-year-old's most famous moment came in 2015 when he ended Wladimir Klitschko's 10-year reign as heavyweight champion. In 2020, he defeated Deontay Wilder to claim the WBC heavyweight title, which he successfully defended in a rematch the following year.
He also defeated Dillian White and Derek Chishora, before losing the WBC belt to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024. Although Tyson has now retired from boxing, rumours continue to circulate about a potential return to the ring.

Away from sport, he is married to Paris Fury, and the couple have seven children together.
Over the weekend, Paris Fury shared on Instagram that her daughter Venezuela is now engaged to her partner Noah Prince, who is an amateur boxer.
Paris Fury wrote: "Congratulations to @venezuelafuryofficial and @7noahprice on getting engaged.
"Both only young, but when you know, you know! Still in shock but very happy for you both. Me and your Dad couldn’t be prouder xxx."
However, the young couple will be expected to follow some family rules. It is a tradition among Irish Travellers for children to live at home until they are married.
Fury confirmed that himself in his documentary Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King.
He said: "The boys will take a wife and make their family and the girls will take a husband and make their family. Until they take a husband or wife they won't be leaving the home and I wouldn't want them to."
Fury has also been keen to instil other lessons in his children.
Even though they may enjoy designer clothing and have luxurious foreign holidays, he has also been keen to teach his children about managing their money,
Paris Fury told The Sun: "With my kids, I'm bringing them up how I was brought up which is what people find so strange.
"We go to the pound shop, you go to Asda and get your shopping, and get your own stuff, no one's going to bring it to you."
Large families is another important part of life in the Irish Traveller community.
Fury and his wife currently have seven children, but Tyson has previously spoken about his desire to have as many as 11.
