TYSON FURY lost his unborn son the day before he fought Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title.
The 36-year-old - who has seven children with wife Paris relinquished his belt and unbeaten record to Usyk after a thrilling fight in May.
Paris, 34, who was six months pregnant, had told her husband she would not be at ringside in Riyadh because she was suffering from high blood pressure.
But Fury entered the biggest fight of his career knowing deep down his wife of 16 years had suffered a miscarriage 4000 miles away in Morecambe.
He said: "When she said she couldn't come over, I knew there was a problem. She usually comes out on fight week but she said she had high blood pressure.
