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.”

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.

The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.
The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
