TYSON FURY may be the king of the heavyweights, but he’s far from the king of his kitchen.
The Gypsy King has been banished from whipping up meals in the hub of the home by his wife Paris for once serving up a plate of slop for the kids after labouring away for five hours.

And the ordeal, which Paris recalls in her second book, still haunts her to this day.
She wrote: “With the whole house smelling like rotten dog food, he called us all into the kitchen and started dishing out bowls of lumpy grey sludge.
“It looked absolutely disgusting.”
Tyson, 35, may be creative in the ring but that doesn’t make him a dab hand in the kitchen – which he’s only allowed in to eat his meals and hang out with the kids.
Paris continued: “Unsurprisingly, none of us would go near it – even Tyson decided to give it a miss – and five minutes later the whole lot went to the neighbour’s dog.
“Other than manning the summer barbecue (which, like with many men, appeals to his hunter-gatherer nature) my husband is now banned from any cooking duties.
“It’s just not worth the hassle.”
The pandemic, as it did with many families, brought the Fury clan – which got a little bigger this month – closer.

And like many people, Tyson developed a specific “craving” for meals close to his heart – in particular bacon pudding.
“Tyson really loved sampling bacon pudding again – it brought back all his boyhood memories – although it has to be off the menu if he’s training for a fight,” Paris recalled.
Paris knows all too well the importance of her hubby following a strict diet when he’s in training camp as she used to cook his meals before he hired a full-time nutritionist and chef.
She said: “Whenever that’s the case, Tyson has to follow a strict low-carb, protein-rich diet devised specifically by his nutritionist.
“Gone are the days when, as part of the #TeamFury entourage, it was my job to keep him well-fed and nourished before a big fight.
“He’s won many a title belt on my grilled salmon and roast vegetables.”
WBC heavyweight champion Fury won’t be inhaling any comfort food any time soon as he has back-to-back fights coming up.
The Wythenshawe warrior will lock horns with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in a controversial crossover clash on October 28.
And he’ll dive straight back into training camp for his long-overdue undisputed heavyweight title fight with unified king Oleksandr Usyk, which is currently in the works for December 23.
