What should have been one of the happiest weekends in the Fury family is now being overshadowed by a bitter and very public feud threatening to erupt just as Venezuela Fury prepares to walk down the aisle.
The 16-year-old daughter of Tyson Fury is set to marry amateur boxer Noah Price this weekend, but behind the scenes, tensions inside the famous boxing dynasty appear to be spiralling after Tyson’s father John Fury launched a series of explosive comments about both the marriage and his fractured relationship with his son.
Never one to stay quiet, John made it brutally clear that he does not believe Venezuela is old enough for marriage — or even dating. During an appearance on the Netflix series At Home With The Furys, he reacted with disbelief after learning about Venezuela’s relationship with Noah.
“They’re children! I don’t think she’s mature enough for anything like that — she’s still a baby,” he said during a tense conversation with Tyson and Tommy Fury.
When Tyson pointed out that Venezuela was almost 16, John doubled down even harder, insisting: “On my watch a 15-year-old should never have a boyfriend, never.”
The comments have resurfaced just days before the wedding and are now casting a shadow over the family celebration — especially after John also admitted his relationship with Tyson has been “completely destroyed.”
The fallout reportedly intensified after Tyson decided to return to boxing following his retirement. Speaking candidly about the situation, John said: “My relationship with Tyson is destroyed. Boxing destroyed it completely.”
He also insisted he had never taken money from his heavyweight champion son and emotionally reminded fans that he helped build Tyson’s career from childhood.
“I love him, but there are too many people patting him on the back and telling him things that aren’t true,” John admitted. “He’s not invincible and he hasn’t been for a while.”
Tyson later attempted to downplay the situation, saying he hadn’t paid much attention to his father’s remarks and suggesting John may have simply been going through a difficult emotional period.
Meanwhile, Tommy Fury appeared to side with his father when he admitted that nobody in the family truly wants Tyson back in the boxing ring because of fears surrounding his long-term health.
Despite the growing tensions, Tyson and his wife Paris Fury have publicly supported Venezuela’s engagement.
Paris defended her daughter by insisting Venezuela is “so mature for her years,” pointing out that she helped raise her six younger siblings and reminding critics that she herself became engaged to Tyson at just 17.
“I know she’s young,” Paris admitted. “But I think she’s found the person she loves and if she’s happy, I will completely support her.”
Venezuela and Noah reportedly kept their romance secret for months before finally going public online shortly before the proposal.
The romantic moment unfolded during Venezuela’s lavish 16th birthday celebrations when Noah surprised her by getting down on one knee in front of friends and family — after first asking Tyson for permission to marry his daughter.
At first, Tyson appeared emotional and uncertain about letting his eldest child go.
“How can I let a stranger take away my baby?” he reportedly said, before reminding Venezuela that marriage in their family is viewed as a lifelong commitment.
But after speaking with Noah, Tyson eventually gave the couple his blessing, admitting he recognised the same certainty he once felt when he first met Paris.
Now, with the wedding only hours away, many fans are wondering whether John and Tyson can put their painful differences aside long enough to unite for Venezuela’s big day — or whether the family drama will completely overshadow the teenager’s fairytale moment.
