Paris Fury is gearing up for an emotional reunion with her husband Tyson Fury after the boxing legend revealed the couple hasn't exchanged a single word in three months.
Earlier this week, Tyson admitted to going to extraordinary lengths in preparation for the fight, cutting off all communication with his wife of 16 years and their seven children.
"People don't see the sacrifices made," Paris shared on Instagram.

"I've let him solely concentrate on this fight. It seems like he's been gone forever, especially with no contact, but if it's what he needs..."
Tyson himself opened up about the toll this training camp has taken.
Speaking to Dev Sahni, he explained: "It's been a long camp, being away from my wife and kids for three months. I've not spoken to Paris in three months, not one word. Yeah, I've sacrificed a lot. It will be worth it, 100 percent."

The Gypsy King is leaving no stone unturned as he looks to reclaim his WBC heavyweight title after suffering the first loss of his professional career to Usyk in May. The Ukrainian fighter outboxed Fury in a thrilling match that left fans stunned and Fury determined to come back stronger.
Paris, who's been by Tyson's side since they were teenagers, has stood firm during the gruelling months of silence.
And yesterday (19 December) she sent a three-word message to her husband. The mother-of-seven, 35, shared a snap from her private jet journey to Saudi Arabia with her eldest son, Prince John James, 13, ahead of Tyson's highly anticipated rematch against Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday (21 December).
She captioned the picture: "On our way."

Anne-Sofie Koktved, a relationship expert at Datingxperten.de, explained that such a stance between the married couple is about 'maintaining the level of focus required to perform at his peak'.
"Preparing for such a high-stakes fight demands mental discipline, and even the slightest distraction, including day-to-day parenting concerns, could throw him off balance," Koktved added.
Fans however, have been divided on Tyson's approach. One commented: "Why wouldn't you speak to your wife and kids? I don't get that at all."
Another added: "He can spare time for interviews but can't text Paris? Not worth it."

Others defended the boxer, saying it shows his unwavering dedication to reclaiming the title and delivering for his family in the long run.
Fury's interview came after he revealed that Paris suffered a miscarriage the night before the first fight. She did not tell him until after the match.
"She said she couldn’t come and I asked her what was up and asked her to tell me but she wouldn’t. So I knew, I knew there was a problem. I said to my brother, 'She’s lost that baby'," Fury added.

"She never told me she had lost the baby, but I knew."
As Tyson prepares to face Usyk once again, fans will be watching closely - not just to see if Fury can reclaim his belt, but also how the couple navigates life after such an extreme training regimen.
In the meantime, Paris's private jet snap suggests that she's already looking forward to a long-awaited reunion - and perhaps some long-overdue conversations.
