Tyson Fury still loves going to Poundland and B&M despite £70M fortune
Tyson and Paris continue to shop at budget stores to keep their children grounded
World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury apparently loves a good Poundland and B&M haul despite being one of the richest figures in his sport.
Well, according to his wife, he does.
Loose Women panelist Paris Fury, who has been with the Wythenshawe-born boxing star since 2006, recently spoke to OK! Magazine about their efforts to keep their six children grounded and respectful of money.
She said: “We’re trying our hardest. I want the children to be grounded and have the normal upbringing me and Tyson both had.

“We’ll go down the Poundshop and the B&M, and I’ll say they can’t have certain things. I’d be so disappointed if they grew up not knowing the value of anything, so we do try.
“But then there’s times where one of the little ones will go on an aeroplane, turn left to first class and say ‘Get me a Diet Coke, please!’
“So we then scratch our heads and think we haven’t cracked it.”
The couple have always been open about their rise to fame, with Tyson himself speaking candidly about his own battle with mental health issues.

Tyson, who is bipolar, spoke to The Guardian recently about his ‘terrible’ anxiety, saying: “I’ve come a long, long, long way. My anxiety was terrible. I believe anxiety is one of the worst things that anybody could have. It’s the fear of the unknown. It’s crazy.”
He continued: “I never seeked help for my mental struggle until 2016. I didn’t know what was going on. I wasn’t experienced. Nobody knew around me what was going on. Very uneducated on the matter. And as soon as I got help, the sooner I could go back to get recovered.
“One of the best things I ever did was come out and speak about it, because with communication you can get over any hurdle. But keeping it all to yourself and not communicating with others, you’re a bottle of champagne being shaken and shaken, waiting for the top to explode. And you’ll have a mental breakdown and won’t recover – or you seek help and try and get better.”
