Fury was paid a visit by amateur boxer Noah Price after he got engaged to Venezuela in September and the former world heavyweight champion gave his approval – but only after a man to man chat.

“He did ask for my permission. He came in and sat down and I explained that marriage is not an easy thing and they are only young kids,” Fury said.

“I asked if this is what they really want? He said yes and I gave him my blessing. Fair play, he wasn’t shaking but I could tell he was nervous. Fair play to him.

“He’s a heavyweight boxer and they say that a daughter always goes for someone like her dad and she definitely has!

“I don’t know if he’s had a stag do yet – if he does, I’ll be there and I’ll bring the strippers.”

A date has yet to be revealed for the wedding and Fury has left all the planning to his wife Paris while he focuses on his comeback fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.

“I’m looking forward to it, but that will have to wait until after Saturday night,” Fury said.

“Fair play to Paris and Venezuela, they’ve actually done this wedding without my input at all. I’ve had zero to do with it. I’m away doing business.

“I’m not thinking about domestic stuff at home. I’m thinking about the fight and that’s it. I’m out of bounds. Don’t tell me about anything like that.”
