Tyson Fury’s private jet was forced to make an emergency landing after a technical issue in an ordeal that left the legendary boxer ‘terrified’.
Fury, 37, was travelling with his family after he married his wife Paris for the third time in recent days in an intimate ceremony in the south of France, 17 years after they first tied the knot.
Fury had posted several celebratory and idyllic photos of himself, Paris and their seven kids from the festivities, but their attempts to return home were hampered.
As they were flying back to the UK, an issue on board the aircraft they were on meant the Fury family had to turn around mid-air and return to their take-off point.
Updating fans on his Instagram story from the plane, Fury opened up the situation.
‘So, we’ve travelled 100 miles on the plane,’ a concerned Fury said in a clip that he had captioned ‘bad news’.

The couple were joined by children, Prince John James, 13, Prince Tyson II, eight, Valencia seven, Prince Adonis Amaziah, six, Athena, three, Prince Rico, 22-months, and Venezuela, 15
‘And the captain’s come over to me and said “we’ve got to turn this plane around because there’s a problem with one of the wings and it won’t fix on the computer so we’ve got to try and get back and turn around”.
Fury then bowed his head and let out a wry smile before he expressed how he was feeling.
‘Talk about totally s****ing yourself,’ Fury added. ‘So we’re now spinning the plane around and going back to the airport where we started. Terrifying.’
In other clips from his Instagram page, Fury could be seen travelling with his family on board the luxurious jet.
He didn’t provide another update on the plane situation, although he posted several other stories across Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, Fury and Paris first married in 2008 when she was just 19 and he was 21-years-old during a ceremony in Doncaster. They later renewed their vows in April 2013 in New York City.
At the romantic ceremony this week, which took place in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, the couple were joined by their children, Prince John James, 13, Prince Tyson II, eight, Valencia, seven, Prince Adonis Amaziah, six, Athena, three, Prince Rico, 22-months, and their eldest Venezuela, 15.
Sharing a series of stunning snaps to his 6.7million followers on Instagram, Tyson wrote: ‘Paris & I got married again third time lucky.

After the third wedding, the happy couple both shared several intimate snaps of the ceremony
‘We had the most beautiful day in the south of France (sic) it holds a lot of special memories for us.’
The post was accompanied by Bruno Mars’ popular song ‘Marry You’.
The event took place in a scenic French church and it seemed to be a family affair, with just their children in attendance.
The Gypsy King was wearing a cream shirt, white shorts and sandals for the ceremony, while Paris was in a white dress.
Speaking about renewing their vows in January, Paris had told OK!: ‘I don’t want a big ceremony or a big wedding, I’d like something private with just me and him.
‘It’ll be nice to reaffirm our vows. If he had his way he’d have it like a circus – a whole Big Fat Gypsy Wedding again! But I think I’ll go subtle.’
Elsewhere, Fury remains officially retired from boxing after his bombshell decision in January, which came weeks after his second defeat by Oleksandr Usyk.
But, there are continuous rumours the 37-year-old will make a return to the ring, with his promoter Frank Warren last month saying: ‘He’s made it clear he wants to fight Usyk.’
