Tyson was her first boyfriend and being devout Catholics they did not sleep together until marriage. Their first date was at the cinema to watch King Kong. 

They almost called off their wedding when Tyson did not secure a chance to compete at 2008 Olympics. She wanted a winter wedding in November while Tyson wanted it earlier since his schedule had been freed up. 

“My fiance clearly did not understand the amount of planning and organization that went into a wedding. I was beginning to realize how incredibly impulsive he was, the sort of person who lived life in the moment and liked to make decisions on the hoof,” she was quoted by The Sun. 

They reconciled their differences and got married in November 2008 at St. Peter-in-Chains Catholic Church in Doncaster, New Yorkshire 

The champion left boxing in 2022 after a knockout win against Dillion. He did it for his wife whom he has previously credited for being his biggest mentor. 

“My biggest mentor in my career is probably me wife. Because without her, I would have probably went AWOL a long time ago. I’ve been AWOL anyway plenty of times but I’ve always had that loving wife relationship, sort of the backbone,” he said in a past interview.

  • Venezuela Fury born in October 2009
  • Prince John in October 2011
