Venezuela Fury Defends 16-Year-Old Marriage in TV Interview

Venezuela Fury, the 16-year-old daughter of heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury, has publicly addressed criticism of her decision to marry 19-year-old amateur boxer Noah Price last month. The couple gave their first televised interview on Monday, June 22, on ITV's "This Morning," defending their choice to wed young and describing their new life together.

The pair were married in a ceremony on the Isle of Man in May. They chose the location because its laws permit marriage at 16 with parental consent, unlike in England and Wales where the legal age is 18. The wedding was followed by a honeymoon in Marbella, Spain, which Venezuela confirmed was her first trip without her parents.

During the interview, Venezuela stated she is unbothered by public scrutiny. She said that as long as her family and friends support her, outside opinions do not matter. She acknowledged her youth but defended her decision, saying she found the person she wanted and chose to start her life with him. Noah Price echoed the sentiment, telling the program he knew from the start of their relationship that he wanted to marry her, describing the wedding as making a dream come true.
