Tyson Fury Defends 16-Year-Old Daughter's Engagement

Venezuela Fury, the eldest daughter of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, announced her engagement to fellow boxer Noah Price, 19, after he proposed at her 16th birthday party, with her mother Paris Fury sharing photos and video on Instagram. Price is an amateur boxer who has been progressing through U.K. junior and senior ranks. The announcement drew online criticism because of Venezuela's age, and Tyson Fury defended the match by reposting a Minaret Minds video praising earlier generations' commitment and questioning modern expectations of marriage. Commentators noted parallels with Tyson and Paris Fury's own early romance — they began courting as teenagers and married when Paris was 19 and Tyson was 21 — and the family publicly celebrated the engagement. Observers also pointed to cultural context in parts of the Fury family's Irish Traveller background, where earlier engagements and marriages have been more common.
