When Venezuela Fury exchanged vows with her boxer partner Noah Price in a lavish ceremony on the Isle of Man last week, every element was meticulously planned.
The bride wore an exquisite Italian lace gown with an extravagant 40-foot train, so grand it required assembly in a church hall. The event featured a floral masterpiece of 20,000 blossoms and kicked off with a performance by Peter Andre, showcasing Venezuela’s keen eye for detail.
Making her entrance in the Victorian Royal Chapel of St John’s, she chose to walk down the aisle to her favorite tune, “Juicy” by the Notorious B.I.G.
The guest list largely reflected her preferences, with one notable exception regarding attendance from a close family member.
Although her three-year-old daughter Bambi charmed as a bridesmaid, Tommy—Venezuela’s uncle and brother of her father Tyson—was conspicuously absent.
Adding to the intrigue, Tommy’s girlfriend, Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague, was present at the celebration.
Sources close to the Fury family attempted to explain away 27-year-old Tommy’s absence by insisting that the boxer was in ‘training camp’ – despite the fact he was spotted the following day near the Cheshire mansion he shares with Molly-Mae.
So why was Tommy not there?
The clue, say friends, lies in the fact that his father John was also absent.
They claim that Tommy is the ‘golden boy’ of the family and that his dad ‘dotes’ on him while John, 61, and Tyson have a ‘much more fractious relationship’.

Indeed, some months ago when Tommy learned that Molly-Mae was expecting a second child, my spies spotted him and John toasting the happy news in a Cheshire countryside pub.
One onlooker said: ‘It was a lovely father and son moment, they are clearly really close.’
‘If Tyson isn’t talking to John then Tommy will always side with his dad,’ says my source.
‘Tommy is the golden boy as far as his dad John Fury is concerned. He is the youngest of all his sons too so whenever there is a Fury family fall-out it’s always John and Tommy against Tyson.
‘Tommy would never go against his dad – ever. He respects everything he tells him.
‘Things are very different with Tyson though. He and his father are always falling out and they really do argue, hammer and tong.
‘Even when Tommy and Tyson have argued John always sticks up for Tommy which only adds to their family feud. As the baby of the family he gets special treatment from his dad while Tyson at the moment isn’t speaking to him.’
In fact, just weeks ago John told the Daily Mail that he and his eldest son no longer speak over boxing, the sport he introduced Tyson to when he was just ten-years-old and trained him in his early amateur years.
However, in 2011 John was sentenced to 11 years in prison for wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm after he gouged a man’s eye out during a brawl at a car auction the year before.
His victim was left half-blind. It fractured the bond between John and Tyson, 37, and his uncles Hughie and Peter were then drafted in to orchestrate his career which has led to him becoming a heavyweight boxing champion with a fortune of around £130million.
John said: ‘My relationship with Tyson is destroyed. Boxing destroyed it completely.
‘I’ve never taken £10 off him in my life and I never will. I don’t want Tyson’s money and I don’t need Tyson’s money. Whatever he’s got, good luck to him. But, don’t forget who built his story when he was a kid. He didn’t build it himself, did he? Me, his father.’
Despite his three-year-old daughter Bambi acting as bridesmaid, Tommy – Venezuela’s uncle and brother of father of the bride Tyson – was notably absent. Tommy (right) with brother Tyson in 2023
Tommy is the youngest of John’s six sons so has a special place in his heart, which he doesn’t hide, according to friends of the Furys. Tommy with mother Chantal, father John and his brother Roman at Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury premiere in August, 2025
Friends of the Furys say that their family dynamics are ‘complicated’.
Tyson was 11 years old when Tommy was born. Tommy is the youngest of John’s six sons so has a special place in his heart, which he doesn’t try to hide.
John is still married to Chantal, Tommy’s mother who made a brief appearance on Love Island alongside her husband to support their son back in 2019.
The trio are ‘very close knit’ according to friends while Tyson is something of an outsider.
‘For Tyson it must be quite galling, it’s the downside of a blended family that there are so often splits in camps like this.
‘But basically Tyson and John spend so much time not talking, not getting on. It’s actually quite heartbreaking, and then if you’re Tyson and you see your dad all over your little brother, that’s hard.’
For Paris, Tyson’s wife of 18 years and mother of his seven children – four boys and three girls – the fall out has been tough.
Speaking to Jamie Laing on his podcast Great Company recently, Paris, 37, said: ‘They’ve been on and off for years, they always go through this. You know you’ve got two very headstrong people. One probably more headstrong than the other.
‘Everyone’s saying it is a social media stunt and it’s not. It’s a family rift that’s going on at the moment and I hope they resolve it because I think there’s nothing more important than your family.
‘I know they love each other deep down and for whatever reason whether it be pride, or whatever – they have an issue, his dad has an issue. And I hope they can resolve it.’
Despite Tommy and John not being there, Venezuela’s wedding was very family focused. Thirteen of her bridesmaids were children, including Bambi Fury, Venezuela’s younger sisters Valencia, eight, and Athena, and four of Noah’s family members.
Some suggest it was ‘all rather cliquey’ but that didn’t stop Molly-Mae from going to watch her daughter carry out her bridesmaid’s duties despite being six months pregnant.
Those who know Molly-Mae, who turns 27 on Tuesday, suggest that might have been difficult because some members of the wider Fury family view her as an ‘outsider.’ Unlike them, she isn’t from travelling stock but a middle class family from Stevenage, Hertfordshire.
While she is understood to have jetted back to Cheshire and didn’t stay the night on the Isle of Man, guests said she ‘appeared to be enjoying herself’.
Some might say this is quite the miracle because there have been rumours of rifts concerning her too – namely at the party to celebrate Venezuela’s 16th birthday.
Held at a village hall near the Fury family’s £8million mansion in Morecambe, 400 guests gathered as rumours swirled that Noah, then 18, was to propose.
For Venezuela should have been the ‘girl of the moment’, which she was for the most part, but there were claims that Molly-Mae was ‘upstaging’ her big day and ‘stealing the limelight’.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Molly Mae did not attend Venezuela’s hen do where 300 friends and loved ones headed to Morecambe Football Club for the over-the-top event.
It was mother-of-the bride Paris who admitted they decided it was best as the pregnant mother-of-one would be ‘tortured by fans’.
But those familiar with Molly-Mae say that she is something of a peace maker and would love nothing more than Tommy and Tyson to have a closer relationship.
Friends say that she is ‘very into family values’ and loves being close to her older sister Zoe.
‘Molly-Mae relies on her sibling so much,’ says a source. ‘She would love to see Tommy and Tyson getting on again. Life is short and there is so much to be gained from the brothers getting on.
‘Despite her fame and her life as an influencer, she doesn’t actually love drama. Neither does Tommy.
‘It would be lovely if she could bring the boys back together again.’
