When Tyson Fury’s daughter got engaged at her birthday party, instead of conventional wishes of congratulation the announcement provoked widespread astonishment – because Venezuela Fury was celebrating having turned 16.
Now the Daily Mail can reveal that the relationship between Fury’s eldest child and her fiance Noah Price, an aspiring boxer two years her senior, started when she was still 15 – but has the full approval of both their respective traveller families.
Noah’s mother told this week how her son, an aspitring boxer who works on the family’s scrap metal firm, is building the couple’s first martial home on a static caravan park known simply as ‘Caravan’.
It is here on a site carved out of what used to be a potato field under electricity cables in the countryside outside Chesterfield, Derbyshire, where Venezuala Fury whose father is worth £160 million from his glittering boxing career, will begin married life.
Venezuala’s future mother-in-law Kathleen told us of her pride for ‘hard-working’ Noah, and said: ‘We’re all really happy, they’re a wonderful young couple who have a bright future ahead of them.
‘They’ve known each other for about a year, Noah was 17 when they met and Venezuela was 15 so there is only the two years between them.’
But for anyone suspecting any inappropriate behavior by her son, Noah’s mother is adamant that there has been none and nor will there be any.
‘They won’t live with each other before they’re married,’ Mrs Price said. ‘We’re strict on that – Noah is my youngest and he’ll keep here with me and Venezuela will stay with her parents.
Tyson Fury’s daughter Venezuela stunned onlookers when she got engaged to her boyfriend Noah Price on her 16th bithday. Now her prospective mother-in-law has revealed the couple are planning to build a home at a travellers’ site called ‘Caravan’ (pictured)

Noah is a wannabe boxer and works for his family’s scrap metal firm. He got down on one knee in front of Venezuala’s parents Tyson Fury and his wife Paris at her 16th birthday party
Venezuala said ‘I do’ in front of her friends and family in the middle of the dance floor – and then took to social media to share her excitement at the news
Venzuala continued the traveller tradition of getting engaged young and echoes that of her famous father Tyson who popped the question to wife Paris when he was 17 and she was 15
‘But when they are married – whether that’s in two-years time or whenever they’re ready – the plan is for them to live with us.’
These plans are surprisingly well advanced and the two families’ traveller heritage very much informs their residential plans.
‘We’ve got some space at the back of the yard and we’ve applied for planning permission to build on land we have just behind it,’ Mrs Price explained.
‘We’d like to build them their own home and have them both live here among the family when they tie the knot.’
The plot that the Price family has earmarked for the school-aged couple is part of a former potato patch on a static caravan site used by a number of settled traveller families in countryside outside Chesterfield in Derbyshire, close to the Peak District.
The wider park is known very simply and literally as ‘Caravan’ meaning that the couples’ new postal address will be ‘Unit X, Caravan, The Potato Store, Dark Lane…’
When the Mail visited this week we could see the demarcated area, comfortably large enough to accommodate a modest starter home for two, is surrounded by established hedge and borders directly the space that used Mrs Price as well as her two adult daughters, Angel and Coley – so she will still be close to her only son.
In getting engaged at such a tender age, bride-to-be Venezuela and her fiance were continuing their traveller tradition which had her parents, Fury and his wife Paris, themselves get engaged when he was 17 and she 15.
In traditional gypsy culture, the bride often leaves her family home to live with ror close by her new husband’s relatives – and that looks set to be Venezuela’s future.
Kathleen continued: ‘I knew Noah was going to ask Venezuela to marry him.
‘I wasn’t at the party but he’d told me beforehand about what he was going to do.’
Kathleen said her own bungalow is on the site of a potato shed that was bulldozed when the family bought the land 25-years ago.

Having raised three children there, her oldest two both now live close by in static homes while an uncle lives opposite.
Having known a jetset upbringing as the daughter of a phenomenally well-paid sportsman, Paris may find her new home less lavish than what she has become used to.
When we visited we discovered that the compound’s electric gates are currently not working after one of their dogs who wander the site chewed through wiring.
Noah works part-time in the Price family’s scrap metal business while he trains to fulfill his dream of a career as a professional boxer, like his future father-in-law, the so-called ‘Gypsy King’.
That training takes place in the gym of Chesterfield Amateur Boxing Club and Noah has certainly made rapid strides in the direction of a boxing career: he only turned 18 this summer but is already an East Midlands belt holder.
And his mother could scarcely be prouder.
She told us: ‘He’s a good boy, he’s not into drink or drugs. He trains hard and works hard.
‘Venezuela is a lovely girl, we’ve known Tyson and Paris and the rest of the Fury family for years.’
The small private traveller park the couple will call home is nestled in the middle of picturesque farmland but has electricity pylons towering over the site.
Chesterfield – an historic market town famous for the ‘Crooked Spire’ of St Mary’s and All Saints Church – is a ten-minute drive away.
All of this may well be unaccustomedly humble for Venezuela who grew up in an eight-bedroom, £1.7million mansion in Morecambe Bay in Lancashire, 105-miles to the north.
That sprawling home featured heavily in Netflix series At Home With The Furys and boasts an elegant sweeping staircase, under which is a grand piano, as well as a contemporary kitchen with marble countertops and silver chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
The Furys – who are so fond of matrimony that they have now ‘wed’ three times when you count in the two ceremonies at which they have renewed vows – are also understood to own a stunning cobbled mansion in Marbella, said to be worth £6m.
Venezuela – Tyson and Paris’ oldest daughter – shared the clip of Noah proposing to her on her Instagram Story on Friday.
Her mum Paris later shared the happy news, writing: ‘Congratulations to @venezuelafuryofficial and @7noahprice on getting engaged.
‘Both only young but when you know you know! Still in shock but very happy for you both.
‘Me and your Dad couldn’t be prouder xxx.’
Tyson himself was clearly upset by some of the social media reaction from non travellers to news of his daughter’s engagement.
The former heavyweight world champion appeared to be respond to such criticism when he shared a video on his Instagram from an Islamic scholar commending traditional marriages of this type.
In the video, the narrator states ’50 years ago people got married at 18 and stayed together until death. Today people wait until 30 to get married and divorce within three years.
‘Back then, couples had nothing but built everything together. Now couples have everything but can’t build anything together. Our grandparents shared one small room and called it paradise. We have five bedroom houses and call them prisons.
‘The only difference is we now call commitment settling and call running away finding yourself.
‘Who convinced us that love expires, that compatibility is instant, that marriage should feel like a Disney movie every day.
‘If we question ourselves, we might stop expecting perfection and start building connection.
‘I ask have we become on focused on finding the one that we forgot how to become the one.’

Venezuela and Noah first went public with their relationship over the summer when they both posted images of themselves enjoying days out together at both Ascot and York racecourses.
In one tender snap, Noah, seen wearing a tailored navy suit with red tie and matching handkerchief, pulled Venezuela, who wore a blue floral-print backless dress with Louboutin heels, in for a kiss on the cheek while in another photo they are seen laughing together.
At Home With The Furys proved a hit with viewers when it was released in August 2023 and Netflix have confirmed that a second series is in production.
In one poignant moment on the show Tyson conceded that he was finding it tough to get to grip with his daughter entering adolescence.
He remarked: ‘I can’t believe Venezuela is a teenager. This has come around very quick.
‘It only seems like yesterday she was a little two-year-old. Now she’s a beautiful, springing young butterfly.’
