Paris Fury has shared the incredible, sassy response she gave after a woman complained about her kids on a flight, saying the fellow passenger’s comments had been like a ‘red rag to a bull’.
Paris and her professional boxer husband Tyson have no fewer than seven kids – having welcomed their youngest child last month.
They decided to name the latest addition to their brood after Tyson’s late cousin, Rico Burton, who was murdered last year.

He joins the rest of his siblings: Venezuela, 13, Prince John James, 11, Prince Tyson II, seven, Valencia, five, Prince Adonis Amaziah, four, and Athena, two.
Paris is now speaking about how she juggles such a large family with work, supporting her husband and finding time for herself in a brand new book, Paris Fury: How Does She Do It? The Kids, Tyson and Me.
“Looking after seven children, keeping house, looking amazing, being there for her World Heavyweight husband Tyson, and finding time for herself: this is just a shortlist of what Paris manages,” a synopsis says, adding that, while ‘a lot can go wrong’, Paris ‘takes it all in her stride’.

“She learned her great homemaking skills in her Gypsy childhood and here she shares all about daily life with the big Fury family and what works to keep life running - from shopping, mealtimes and big celebrations, to being ready for the unexpected, handling a crisis, and her tricks for keeping their home clean and uncluttered, as well as warm and welcoming.
“Balancing day-to-day parenting with Tyson alongside his boxing career, she is open about the stresses that go along with all the travel, fun and excitement.”
In the new memoir, 33-year-old Paris shares the tips and tricks she’s picked up along the way to help her parent the ever-expanding brood.

However, she recalls one time when things didn’t go too smoothly, despite her best efforts to be prepared with the kids – who were even being ‘good as gold’.
"Years ago, a woman sitting in front of us complained about the bleeps and pings coming from the kids’ gadgets," she wrote.
"'Do you mind, I'm trying to do some work', she said, which was like showing a red rag to a bull. 'I think you'll find it's an aeroplane, not an office', I replied.
“I was being a bit cheeky, I admit, but I thought she was making a mountain out of a molehill because the kids were actually being good as gold.

"Maybe she should have worn the headphones if she had important work to do.”
Paris said there will always be ‘one passenger who'll loudly tut or raise their eyebrows’ when she’s travelling with her children.
"Keeping kids amused and entertained on a flight can be hard,” she went on.
“Especially if you've got two rows to look after. But an element of forward planning can be a good idea. My hand luggage (and Tyson's) is always packed full of things to occupy their minds."
