Medical experts predict that Tiger Woods will have a difficult road to recovery following his crash in Los Angeles this week. The 45-year-old golf legend suffered “serious injuries” to his lower right leg and ankle, which required emergency surgery.

The injuries caused “comminuted open fractures” to his tibia and fibula bones, meaning his bones had fragmented and pierced through his skin, according to Dr. Anish Mahajan, interim CEO at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, where Woods was operated on. The doctors fixed the fractures with screws and pins.

“Additional injuries to the bones of the foot and ankle were stabilized with a combination of screws and pins. Trauma to the muscle and soft-tissue of the leg required surgical release of the covering of the muscles to relieve pressure due to swelling,” Mahajan said in a statement Wednesday.

On Thursday afternoon, Mahajan released a new statment saying Woods had been transferred to the Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles for further care and recovery. He said no further detail would be provided out of respect for Woods’ privacy, but on behalf of the Hourbor-UCLA staff he said it had been “an honor to provide orthopaedic trauma care to one of our generation’s greatest athletes.”

Deputies responded to the scene of the wreck Tuesday morning. While coming down a steep curve in the road, Woods’ vehicle hit the median before crossing into oncoming traffic, police said. Once hitting the curb, the SUV began to roll over before stopping in an embankment about 30 yards from the road.

While doctors expect Woods to walk again, health experts said the injuries will certainly affect his game.

Dr. Andrew Pollak, professor and chair of the Department of Orthopedics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, said the injuries will “definitely” affect his golf game. “In many ways, he will likely need to relearn parts of the swing,” Pollak told CBS News.

Pollak said Woods’ injuries sounded similar to those of NFL quarterback Alex Smith, who suffered a gruesome fracture in his leg after taking a sack in 2018. Smith almost lost his leg as a result of a major infection that followed the injury. Pollak noted that Woods’ road to recovery would be much easier than Smith’s if he can avoid a similar infection.

Dr. Jaime Hernandez, an orthopedic surgeon in Southern California,  said Woods will require six months to a year of recovery, but returning to golf will also require the golfer to deal with any residual mental trauma from the crash.

“He has leg limitations, back limitations, but you know the mental side is a huge factor,” Hernandez told CBS Los Angeles.

Woods, widely considered one of the greatest golfers of all-time, has 82 career PGA Tour wins, including 15 major championships. He was recovering from his fifth back surgery and had not played since December.

Dr. Judy Rosenberg, director of the Psychological Healing Center in Sherman Oaks, California, said Woods will also have to overcome mental hurdles throughout his recovery.

Fulham boss Scott Parker has stuck by his excitable forward Ademola Lookman despite the failed penalty against West Ham in November. About a month later, Lookman and his mates confronted league champions Liverpool at Craven Cottage to provide a heart warming performance that got their fans asking for more. And Lookman was at the heart of it.

The England U19 and U21 winger born to Nigerian parents led the team as they got away with 1-1 score line at the 25,000 capacity Craven Cottage field.

With the fans threw up the challenge with their voices sounding loud and clear the Fulham players responded in kind to the energy, the boos and jeers at the Liverpool players, the cries of cheat when Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane went down easily in Fulham’s penalty area, the elation when Bobby De Cordova-Reid thudded them in front in the 25th minute.

Perhaps no player thrived more from it all than Ademola Lookman, who set up De Cordova-Reid for his strike with a deliciously succinct through-ball, one that he tried successfully on numerous occasions all game.

The goal coming, even, from a corner that Lookman had won, bringing the ball down and under control on the left where he skulked all match, cutting inside and forcing Liverpool’s goalkeeper Alisson to push his effort wide. Liverpool failed adequately to clear the subsequent corner and Lookman opened them up, allowing his team-mate to drive the ball past Alisson.

Six weeks ago, there was a stage when Lookman could have sank or swam, following the Panenka penalty eight minutes into stoppage time that cost Fulham a point they so desperately needed against West Ham.

There is confident, and then there is misguided, and it was the worst possible time for the 23-year-old to get those two concepts mixed up, dinking the ball from the spot into Lukasz Fabianski’s welcoming arms.

Parker says that Lookman has a tendency to be easily disappointed if things do not go his way, and the torrent of negativity that was aimed at him online via memes and videos could have set Lookman back.

Maybe that inclination to let the head drop is why the Under 17 World Cup winner with England is yet to produce these kinds of performances on enough of a consistent basis to propel him higher than a newly promoted Premier League side. Instead, he has drifted: from Everton to RB Leipzig and now on loan to Fulham.

Maybe it is just timing. Of that group who beat Venezuela in the final back in 2017, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is only now excelling in the blue half of Merseyside, while Kyle Walker-Peters is also establishing himself at Southampton.

For a winger, Lookman is not too arrogant to defend – a trait that modern managers at the top come to expect. When Fulham were pinned back by Liverpool in the second half Lookman pitched in with dogged defensive discipline, and he was the main outlet to launch any counter-attacks out of their half with his pace.

He is rapid when needed: adopting his constant style of jogging or near-walking, his wide shoulders rotating as though winding up a spring-loaded clockwork inside that he can activate at any moment.

It certainly left Liverpool’s players perplexed. Trent Alexander-Arnold struggled to cope at right-back. Central midfielder Jordan Henderson and centre-back Joel Matip regularly had to come across to cover. Salah even joined in at one stage, and Curtis Jones was eventually booked for hustling

Lookman is blessed with footballing talent.

He’s also two-footed and has immaculate control which leads him to provide Everton with a direct attacking threat and that has so often sparked calls for the 23-year-old to feature more regularly in the starting XI.

His skills, and seeming maturity have arisen from his south London roots.

The attacker hails from Peckham, Southwark, which as a borough had a higher number of knife-related incidents (860) than any of the capital’s other 31 boroughs over the year of 2017/18 and also sees almost 37% of it’s children living in poverty.

“It is trouble, or it was a few years ago,” Lookman said.

“Coming from a background where we did not have much and know what it was like, I just wanted to get out of that situation.

Ademola Lookman makes confidence admission over playing for Everton, where he first had Premiership experience before been loaned out to RB Leipzig of Germany.

“Round those areas you just play for fun – in the cages and on the streets.

“You are just doing your thing. It is freestyling and whatever happened on the pitch stayed there.”

Lookman is convinced, though, that growing up and playing football in that area – which the young Bundesliga talents of Jadon Sancho and now Arsenal’s on-loan Reiss Nelson both also did – has provided him with the nimble footwork he possess today.

He said it was playing football in Southwark’s tight cages and compact streets against physically superior opponents made him “think quicker”.

“Playing with older people, as well, they do not want you to mug them off and make fools of them so you had to be sharp,” he added.

“We played against guys much older and they’d be trying to kick you.”

Lookman’s route into professional football is not a particularly well-trodden one.

He was still playing for Sunday league side Waterloo up until the age of 16 while also representing London FA under-16s.

It was for the representative side that he played a fixture against Charlton Athletic in 2014 – came off the bench and shone with his skill only to then be invited to train with the club, play a match for a youth team (in which he scored four goals) before then signing his first contract.

“I have always thought about football in terms of enjoying myself,” Lookman said.

“I still play football for fun and that is what I want to do my whole career, God willing.

“I enjoy expressing myself and I enjoy the pressure of football.

“You may not think it but when I was playing Sunday league (for Waterloo), I was feeling pressure – I don’t want to sound big headed but I was the main player in the team and always wanted to do better than last week.

“I always believed in my talent, always believed in myself and what I could do.

“I knew one day I would get spotted but the problem was I didn’t know when.”

In 2016 Lookman was named the Championship apprentice of the year at the Football League awards and after 49 games for Charlton and 12 goals he started to attract interest from a host of Premier League clubs before moving to Merseyside in 2017.

He scored almost instantly after coming off the bench in his debut against Manchester City in a 4-0 win for Everton in January last year but then moved to RB Leipzig in the second half of last season for some more game time.

Lookman impressed in the Bundesliga as the club pushed for one of the coveted European spots and directly contributed to one goal for every 52 minutes he was on the pitch.

Back at Goodison, the creative attacker produced a series of wonderful displays in late October through November off the bench and was handed his first start of the campaign against Newcastle on December 5. He warmly accepts that he appeared to try too hard to impress on his return to the team that day.

“The different pressures can be good or bad,” he said.

“Against Newcastle I put too much pressure on myself, instead of relaxing and playing like I always have.

“But in the past few games I have just been myself.”

Dips in form to other players in Lookman’s position make it clear that this could be his time for the quality he has teased fans with so far to be displayed more prominently.

Born to Nigerian parents in Croydon, south London, Oluwasemilogo Ajayi’s first name is a tongue twister to many of his friends and teachers at school, so they simply removed the ‘Semi’ part of it and renamed the lanky lad.  Since Semi and his brother, Fikayo, were exemplary footballers and popular with the school team, he simply drifted with the idea and the name got stuck on him. However, at home, he has remained Oluwasemilogo (The Lord has glorified me) as their mother in particular loves to him.

Semi was also a brilliant student and was top of his class.  “We moved to Thamesmead where I grew up. I suppose it was a bit of a rough area and my mum and dad really made sure me and my brother worked hard at school and studies and didn’t have chance to get into any trouble. Football, though, was a big part of my life – and my brother’s – and as we grew older it became a big part of dad’s life too! He would have to run us everywhere to play games.

“But at the same time my grades were good and mum and dad remained very keen on my education and that got me and my brother into grammar school.”

At 16, he was offered a football scholarship and that drastically turned things around for him as he opted for football ahead of academics. “I enjoyed my studies and I was good at languages, science, mathematics, business studies… that sort of thing. I studied French and Spanish but leaving school at 16 to take up a football scholarship, I didn’t get the chance to continue. But that’s something I would like to pick up in the future.”

The established defender with West Bromwich Albion and Super Eagles of Nigeria spoke more on his grass to grace story in this interview first published on his club’s website.

Charlton Athletic were the one to provide you with your start in football? 

Yes, going to Charlton at 16 was a big moment for me because it would mean leaving school and my academic career. But my parents left the decision to me. I had really good grades and football definitely represented a bigger risk. But that was what I wanted to do and they stood by my decision. My mum (Dayo) was born in the UK but moved back to Nigeria where she met my Dad (Biyi)… yes, mum and dad did a lot for me and my brother Fikayo who was just as keen on football. Between us, dad would be taking us to football six days a week.

Charlton was really good for me. I had been going there since I was nine. But we were in half-term and I think mum just wanted me and Fikayo out of the house so we went off to one of those football camps they were running. It was nothing too serious but I think I got recommended from that. My dad came to get me one day and didn’t tell me where I was going just that I would need my boots. I didn’t know it but he was taking me for a trial and I did well enough to get into their development school and then their Academy. We had a really good team and the focus of their Academy was about the development of the person, not just the footballer. They felt good human beings would make better footballers and they had a great record then for producing a lot of players; a lot had come through during the previous 10 or 15 years. I got a great football education at Charlton but the one thing that I couldn’t see was a pathway to the first team.

So what was the next step?

I was doing well enough to be picked by Nigeria for the Under-21 Toulon tournament – mum and dad hit the road again and spent 10 hours driving down to the south of France to watch me – and from that I must have been scouted because the offer came to go to Arsenal. I couldn’t see a way through at Charlton at the time and the quality of the Arsenal academy – the coaches, the facilities – made that impossible to turn down. In fact, I got close to the first team. At one stage I was first understudy behind Mertsacker and Koscielny but they then bought Gabriel Paulista in the January. Arsene Wenger was very honest with me in that he said he wanted me to stay and develop but he couldn’t offer me first-team football at that point.

Was your allegiance always with Nigeria or was England ever an option?

The decision was made a long time ago. I decided to play for the Under-20s when I was 19 and the goal was always to play for the first team. As a youngster, we would go there every two years to visit my mum and dad’s families… it was nice to meet my grandparents and all my cousins. It’s a really nice country; mum’s family is in Lagos. She makes Nigerian food at home but it’s different when you go out there and get the real thing. The ingredients are that bit fresher I think. It’s lovely food; I really enjoy it.

What happened after Arsenal?

What I needed most of all, I felt, was first-team football and I left to go in search of a club where I might be able to get it. I had trials all over that summer; Sunderland, Ipswich, Cardiff and Ajax.

Ajax must have been an interesting experience in your development?

It was fantastic. They’ve got that famous philosophy of playing of course, developing talented young players. But they have the system whereby the ‘B’ team play in the second division to get that competitive football. It was a really good experience and I really enjoyed it. They have non-position specific training where it doesn’t matter what position you may consider yourself, you are expected to be able to play in any other part of the team. So one day you might be a central defender playing as a winger and the next the full-back might be playing centre-forward. They demand that you develop the technical skills to be able to handle the ball in any part of the pitch. It is, like they say, total football and is why they produce such well-rounded footballers. When they get to the first team then their positions are set but by then all the players understand and can cope with each other’s roles.

But the summer trials ended up in South Wales at Cardiff?

I went to Cardiff under Russell Slade where I thought I was going to play but he said afterwards that I was a development project… it annoyed me a bit because I was looking for the one thing I needed, first-team football, and I thought I was going to get it there. So I went out on loan to AFC Wimbledon – where I broke my nose and got concussed in my third game. I don’t remember a thing about it to this day and that’s despite seeing the video play back. I don’t know how it happened.

But Rotherham was the first place I found a home in football. At other places I always felt I was playing for my parent club and not the team I was in. But at Rotherham I really settled down and became a main part of the team and at last I got that regular first-team football I knew I needed. When I first got in there, I think they thought I had played a lot more than I had… I was held up as someone who had already played 100 times but I had only made 20, 30 appearances at that point. But it was great. I got a place just by the ground, the people took me to their heart and made me feel at home and of course we got involved in a promotion season which was massive. We kind of knew what we were doing and hit our form just before Christmas and we flew up the table thinking we could even get top two. In the end we finished fourth and made the Play-Offs but we got past Scunthorpe and then Shrewsbury in the final after extra-time and the feeling… it’s one of the best I can imagine. It was like the whole town turned out for us when we got back and it’s great to see how much a football team can bring to people. Seeing that huge amount of joy being experienced by a community was unforgettable.

It was a tough season for Rotherham last year and especially so when you came up against your current employers…?

The strange thing is I felt in both the games it was a pretty harsh scoreline on us. I think in the first match, we had as many goal- scoring opportunities but Albion were just so much more clinical. It seemed every time they shot at goal it went in. And of course we got relegated at The Hawthorns at the back end of the season although again, I felt we played well. But we just couldn’t match that finishing in front of goal. I think Albion were already in the Play-Offs by then but what impressed me that day was the stadium. I hadn’t played at The Hawthorns before, I’d just seen it on TV. But to be honest whenever we went away that season, because Rotherham were not a big draw, most of the stadiums were not very full but The Hawthorns was… it showed me how well supported the Club were.

When did you know you would be back in front of those fans?

When I got back from international duty that summer my agent got in touch to tell me about the clubs who had been in contact with him wanting to sign me. Albion was the name that leapt out straightaway for me. That was June and by July the negotiations were underway but I think the first attempts fell through and I thought the deal was dead. I was pretty devastated to be honest. Thankfully it all got done in the end. I needed to stay in the Championship at the very least, especially with my international career – it would be hard to play for Nigeria as a League One player.

It’s proving to be the right decision judging by your performances this term…?

Yes, it’s going well. The Championship is… it’s so difficult to read what’s going to happen next. Teams will have these runs when they get three wins in a row in a burst of form and then you look three games later and they have been beaten each time. It happens the other way around too. It’s almost as if it’s all about at what point you face these teams. I don’t think we’ve had any amazing spells yet but we’ve not had any bad ones either. We’ve just put together some good form for the majority of the season and that has put us in a position which we would have all accepted back at the start. That’s been our theme all along really – not to get too high with the highs or too low with the lows.

Are we seeing you in your best position – or are you secretly a midfielder? That’s what the Rotherham fans have said…

I feel most comfortable at centre-half. Always have done. I’m more than happy to step into midfield if asked but I’ve never thought of myself as a midfield player.

What about when it comes to relaxing? What else do you like to do?

I’m basketball mad. Always have been. It was that or football growing up. I’m a big fan of the 76ers; The Philadelphia 76ers.

Theirs was the first basketball top I got, a present for Christmas one year. Absolutely loved basketball; still do. I’ve been to the States a few times but I’ve gone always out of season and I’ve never seen an NBA game. Have you heard of Allen Iverson? He was my big hero. I loved the way he played. He was quite a small guy in a land of giants but he never let that deter him. He played with such spirit; a never- say-die attitude. What else? “My music is R&B and hip-hop and “Game of Thrones” is the best box-set ever.”

Super Eagles skipper Ahmed Musa has described as fantastic his relationship with family-both immediate and extended. “Family comes first to me and I cherish every moment that I have to be with my wife and children. We’ve been enjoying that very well since I stopped playing for Al Nassr,” Musa noted while talking about how he spends his time without weekend matches.

 

My family means everything to me

 

Musa, 28, cherishes family connection hence he often take to his twitter handle to celebrate members of his family, especially his wife and likes to post pictures of his children during a family outing.

“I love family. Family means the world to me. I leant that from my father and mother and the fact that I assumed head of my family, as the only male in the family, also built in me that commitment to family life.”

Celebrating his wife Juliet during his birthday, Musa wrote on his twitter handle: “That I’m blessed to have you in my life is an understatement. You have been the source of my strength and the one who keeps me going especially when I have no clue sometimes. You are a dream come true and I won’t change you for anything in the world. Happy Anniversary Wifey”

He recalled a moment late last year when he had to come out in the open when fake news hit the airwaves about members of his family contacting Coronavirus. Musa wrote: “It has come to my notice that certain individuals have decided to post false news about me testing positive to Covid 19. We are perfectly okay and have not tested positive to the virus. Please don’t fall for the malicious messages circulating about me or my family.”

Musa also treasures his children, a girl and three boys informing that he comes from a family that loves children and likes them around.

His philanthropic gesture has endeared him to the people of Jos, where he grew up and Kano, where he horn his skill professionally, and the entire Northern region, a gesture he attributed to strong family ties.

In 2017, he commissioned a multi million Naira sports facility in Kano.

According to Musa:  “People like football in Kano and they pay money to train in different places, so I thought that it would be good to have a standard place where all these people could have a good place to train, play football and relax.”

On the same day his sports centre was unveiled, Ahmed Musa was turbaned as the ‘Jagaban Matasan Arewa’ by the northern youths and the association of the northern Nigerian students.

The title which translates as champion of women in Northern Nigeria was conferred on the 24 year old (at the time) in recognition and appreciation of his support for youths and contribution to communal development.

The ceremony was attended by dignitaries including the chairman of Kano state sports commission, Ibrahim Galadima.

In addition to promoting sports and ensuring youth support, Ahmed Musa is extremely involved in charity. It is customary for him to distribute money to widows and poor people in his community during the Ramadan festival.

He has also helped secure freedom for no fewer than 40 children including young adults that were remanded in at the Taurey, Goron Dutse Prison Yard, and Remands Home for Children and Kurmawa Prison all in Kano state. Not to mention distributing bag of rice to the needy.

Musa’s latest addition to his superlative acquisition was unveiled on Tuesday, February 1, 2021; a multimillion Naira sport facility located in Kaduna.

Similar to the Kano multi-purpose sport multifaceted, the complex has a gym, standard swimming pool, a five-a-side synthetic astro-turf pitch, and an event and seminal hall.

In 2020, Forbes put Musa’s net worth at an estimated $20 million which he made largely from being a professional footballer, endorsement and advertisement deals.

Musa also announced his plan to build a school in Jos, his hometown.

Shedding more light on his sudden disconnection with Al-Nassr in spite of his good record, Musa explained that he desires to return to top-flight competition in Europe.

Musa asked to leave the Riyadh club with two years remaining of the four-year contract he signed.

He told ESPN that the decision to leave was entirely his own but both parties had come to an amicable, mutual understanding.

“I met with the club and requested that they should terminate my contract, and they were kind enough to agree to let me go,” Musa told ESPN.

Al-Nassr announced Musa’s departure with a farewell message on the Riyadh club’s social media pages celebrated some of the goals scored by the Nigerian in his time in Saudi.

“Thank you Nigerian falcon, wishing you all the best in the future,” Al-Nassr posted on Twitter.

Musa, one of the highest-paid players in Saudi Arabia, said that he had always expressed a desire to return to Europe. I have enjoyed my time in the two years that I have been here, and the club have been great to me,” Musa told ESPN.

“But I have always wanted to return to Europe, and I feel that this is the best time for me to make that move.

“I want to get back to playing at the top level again against the best players in the world.

“I would like to thank everyone at Al-Nassr and all the fans for understanding and respecting my wishes, but especially for making me feel such a big part of the club and I will never forget them.”

The Nigerian is now a free agent, which means he can join a new club immediately, and he told ESPN that his agent was “talking with some clubs in Europe”.

“He knows what I want, so when there is something, I am sure he will let me know,” Musa said.

Musa’s wait may however be nearing a good end as he was reported to be on his way to put pen to pare for West Bromwich Albion, a Premiership side in England.

West Brom wants to offer the flying winger a short-term contract.

Musa has previous experience in the Premier League with Leicester City and he could be set for one with Albion if all goes well.

Musa is due to be given a full fitness check by the club’s sports scientists and then, should all go according to plan, concrete discussions will take place over a contract.

It’s expected that any deal will be until the end of the season, though of course an arrangement there isn’t restricted to the window, with Musa being a free agent.

It is reported that Boss Sam Allardyce is keen on pricing Musa to West Brom. “I have the hardest job between now and 11 because we have spent a considerable amount of our budget.

“If we can’t get a player in of the right quality, there won’t be much point in me bringing anyone else in. We’ll try and achieve it,” said Allardyce.

She is one half of the most likeable couple in Britain, and she just happens to be the wife of heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury. Her unique and glam lifestyle, including a penchant for £30,000 designer handbags saw her became a panelist on Loose Women, where she’s discussed her riches and fame, as well as his mental health issues.

But behind the showbiz razzmatazz is a supermum of five children, now expecting her sixth, who supported Tyson through drug abuse and held the family together.

Last summer, Paris even joined Tyson in providing an alternative and hilarious Joe Wicks-style live workout during lockdown, in which their bickering endeared them to the nation further.

They received a Heroes of Humanity award for diligently working out every day with their followers.

CHILDHOOD SWEETHEARTS

Paris met Fury when she was just 15 at a mutual friend’s wedding.

However, it wasn’t until a year later, when their paths crossed again on a night out in Doncaster for her 16th birthday, that they began dating.

Paris explained: “He was my first boyfriend as I was not allowed a boyfriend until the age of 16. He is the only boyfriend I have had.

“Tyson would train in boxing during the week and then come and see me at the weekend. I would always be so excited at the thought of seeing him.”

In 2008, they tied the knot in front of 400 guests and slept together for the first time on the night of their wedding.

“Even after we got engaged, Tyson would sleep in a caravan in the yard of my parents’ home, while I slept inside the house,” she once revealed.

“We didn’t sleep together until after we got married. That is the traveller’s way.”

A SELF-CONFESSED TRAVELLER

Like Tyson, Paris is proud of her traveller roots.

The bubbly blonde was born and raised in Doncaster, spending her existence sleeping in caravans.

She said: “I am a Traveller, I am a gypsy. I was brought up in caravans when I was a little girl.

“It’s just the traditional lifestyle; there’s no real definition, there’s no bloodline because we never went to the doctor to say we are who we are.

“There was no paperwork, there are still gypsies today who can’t read or write; we’re just that old fashioned.”

PROUD MAMA

Today, Paris and her hubby live in a modest £550,000 home in Morecambe, despite his reported £70m wealth.

There, she cares for her brood – their five children, Venezuela, Prince John James, Prince Tyson Fury II, Valencia Amber, and Prince Adonis Amaziah.

But she had a row with Tyson that was filmed by cameras for the ITV doc about their education.

Paris said she wanted her children to be raised like she was and leave school at 11, while Fury described people who don’t send their kids to school as “dream killers”.

“Do you think you live a traveller’s lifestyle? Because I don’t. I think you live like a footballers’ wife,” he then barked at her.

SHE WAS THE GLUE

In 2016, Fury’s mental health issues, cocaine and alcohol abuse, and intolerable mood swings threatened their seemingly unbreakable marriage.

On occasion, Paris would even contemplate leaving – packing her bags and getting into her car.

However, she’d just stop herself – admitting she couldn’t leave Tyson to “crash and burn”.

“I wanted to leave every day. Every day I used to cry and break down and think ‘I can’t deal with this’,” she revealed.

“I literally packed the car and the kids a few times.

When Tyson Fury suffered with mental issues and was abusing alcohol and rugs, Paris admitted she contemplated leaving him

“I’d think ‘how can I leave?’. If you truly love someone you’re not going to leave them to crash and burn.”

Paris stood by her man as he battled his demons, before he rose again like a phoenix from the flames.

JET-SET LIFE

With regular holidays in Marbella in their luxury mansion believed to worth around £6million, the Furys know how to live.

Paris and the kids also frequently fly to glam destinations like Los Angeles and Las Vegas to accompany Tyson to his fights.

The whole family make the most of the trips abroad, squeezing in everything from shopping sprees on notoriously posh shopping hotspot Rodeo Drive to days out at Disney World.

And Paris just loves her designer clobber.

The fashionable mum has a particular soft spot for Chanel, flashing a pair of stylish gold metallic trainers, £750, on Instagram.

She has previously dazzled followers with a £180 Moschino belt and Fendi Mama Baguette bag, worth £1,850.

But despite loving expensive threads, Paris loves a good deal too – getting bits for the home from discount stores like Home Bargains to remain grounded.

“We already have X amount in the bank. It’s a funny one, but getting any more isn’t going to change us,” she said.

FITNESS QUEEN

Move over, Joe Wicks.

While The Body Coach might have been the nation’s male PE teacher, the al
