Tyson Fury’s 16-year-old daughter Venezuela is set to marry her partner Noah Price this weekend, although the couple’s special day risks being overshadowed by the bitter rift that has torn through her family. The teenager, the eldest daughter of the two-time heavyweight boxing champion, became engaged to 19-year-old Noah last year on her 16th birthday.

The couple is scheduled to exchange vows on Saturday, and Venezuela enthusiastically documented their final wedding preparations for their social media followers earlier this week. However, preparations for the ceremony did not go smoothly as her father, Tyson, and grandfather, John, had a major argument earlier this year, with the latter expressing his concerns about his granddaughter getting married at such a teenage age.

In a veiled warning to Venezuela, the outspoken 60-year-old revealed he was surprised by the news of her engagement before sharing his worries about Tyson and his younger son, Tommy, during an appearance on a recently broadcast program Netflix series At Home with the Furies.

While Tyson defended amateur boxer Noah as a “decent guy”, an furious John questioned whether his granddaughter should be getting married at such a teenage age.

“These are children!” – he said. “I don’t think she’s mature enough for something like this – she’s still a child. A 15-year-old under my care should never have a boyfriend, ever.”

While the decision to allow their daughter to marry at the age of 16 has sparked public debate, the Furys have stood by her, with her mother Paris recently telling This Morning that the teenager is “so mature for her age”.

“She’s done so much in such a tiny amount of time just because of who she is and the fact that she has six younger siblings that she helped raise, I can’t deny that,” Paris said.

“I can’t say no to her because I got engaged when I was 17. She’s clearly following in my footsteps, so how can I judge her in any way.

“I know she’s teenage. But I think she’s found the person she loves and if she’s joyful, I’ll support her completely.”

It is unclear whether John will attend Saturday’s wedding, having refused to attend Tyson’s fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov last month after revealing the pair were no longer on speaking terms.

John revealed that his once close bond with his son had been “totally destroyed” by boxing, even going so far as to refuse to watch “The Gypsy King” return to the ring.

A major factor in the rift was Tyson’s decision to come out of retirement for a fifth time and face Makhmudov, with the boxer admitting that his father had urged him to hang up the gloves six years ago after his first victory over Deontay Wilder.

“I think he’s concerned,” Tyson told Good Morning Britain. “When it comes to your children, when they are your close relatives or whatever, I think you worry a lot about that person.

“He has his own opinion and he doesn’t want me to do it – he never wanted me to do it in the last six years.”

Asked if his father would attend his fight with Makhmudov, Tyson replied: “Possibly. But he didn’t come to the Usyk II fight, so I’m not holding my breath.

“My dad will do what my dad will do. He’s his own man and there’s nothing I can do about it. If he shows up, it’ll be great, and if he doesn’t, that’s great too.”
