What you need to know
Venezuelan Fury has the full support of his parents Tyson Fury and Paris Fury ahead of his wedding to Noah Price.
Venezuela told The Sun that after getting engaged to her boxer boyfriend at her 16th birthday party, she got down on one knee and asked her now fiancée’s father, 37, for his blessing.
Venezuela said that although she told the media that Noah was “terrified about doing it,” it quickly became clear that Tyson “wouldn’t interfere” during his marriage proposal, which took place in front of all her family and friends last month.
She added that the athlete’s father is “so happy for us.”
As for how Venezuela felt about the massive gesture, she told The Sun that the proposal “came as a big surprise.”
“I didn’t get too emotional because I was so surprised, but I was very nervous because I could see that a lot of people were watching me,” she said. “But it was a very exciting moment. Probably one of the best moments of my life. But if he had told me he would marry me wherever he was, I would have been happy. I didn’t care about the ‘big proposal,’ but I’m very happy.”
Venezuela admitted that she has not yet met her family as Noah lives several hours away and works during the week, but she has received great support from her own mother, who married Tyson in November 2008 (Paris was only 19 at the time).

“Venezuela is young, she’s only 16 and she’s engaged, but we’re really happy for her. It’s her life choice,” Paris, 35, told the Daily Mail in a recent interview. “This is a beautiful moment. What I want to say to her is enjoy this moment and enjoy where you are. I’m really proud of her. I told Venezuela that she has been shown different paths in life and has been given different opportunities, and this is what she has chosen.”

But the mother of seven admitted she’s not yet ready to call herself a grandmother, even though she’s in her 40s.
“I’m going to laugh, but I don’t think I’m really ready to be a grandma,” the At Home with the Furies star said. “I can’t be the old-looking grandma. I have to be the youngest-looking grandma ever.”
Paris went on to say, “I think of her as Venezuela, enjoying life, traveling, seeing places, even if it’s all together. Although I believe there is nothing more fulfilling than being a mother.”
