Fury family feud casts shadow over 16-year-old Venezuela's wedding day
With Venezuela Fury's wedding day around the corner, speculation is growing about whether an alleged Fury family feud could dampen the celebrations.
It's reported that Venezuela, 16, is marrying fiancé Noah Price this weekend, after the 19-year-old popped the question at Venezuela's 16th birthday party celebrations, which played out on Netflix's At Home With The Furys.
Noah got down on one knee at the birthday party, however in the documentary it doesn’t appear some members of the Fury family were 100 percent behind the decision.
Tyson’s outspoken dad John Fury voiced his opinion while having a conversation with sons Tyson, 37, and Tommy, 27.

"They're children! I don't think she's mature enough for anything like - she's still a baby," he said.
"On my watch a 15-year-old should never have a boyfriend, never."
According to reports, Tyson and John's relationship has been strained recently. In season two of the Netflix documentary, John voices his concerns about Tyson returning to boxing.
Speaking to Playbook Boxing earlier this year, John said: "I think he's past his best. I'm a no-filter kind of guy - I say it how I see it. I love him, but there are too many people patting him on the back and telling him things that aren't true, building him up like he's invincible. He's not and he hasn't been for a while.
"Tyson has been gone since the Deontay Wilder fights, they finished him. Wilder completely done him. He's not got a leg underneath him. He's took a lot away from Tyson. Makhmudov is a problem for Tyson. I am the first one to say it."
The dad of six added: "My relationship with Tyson is destroyed. Boxing destroyed it completely. I'll say it on camera: 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."
It seems Venezuela does have the approval of her parents, however, with mum Paris Fury explaining on This Morning: "Venezuela is so mature for her years. She's done so much in such a short time just because of who she is and the fact that she's got six younger brothers and sisters that she's helped bring up, I can't deny it.
"I can't deny her because I was 17 when I got engaged. She's obviously following in my footsteps, so how can I judge her in any way? I know she's young. But I think she's found the person she loves and if she's happy, I will completely support her."
Venezuela herself explained she was 'very shocked' at the moment, telling Fabulous: "I was very shocked. It all came as a huge surprise. I wasn’t overly emotional because I was so surprised and I was very nervous, as I realised a lot of people were watching me.
"It was a very exciting moment, though, probably one of the best of my life. But I would have been content if he had asked me to marry him anywhere.
"I didn’t care about the ‘big proposal’, but I am very happy."
Meanwhile, Tyson gave his own approval when a nervous Noah approached him prior to the party to ask for permission to wed his daughter.
However, the boxer has admitted he hasn't had any part in the prep, explaining: "I've had zero to do with it.
"I'm away doing business. I'm not thinking about domestic stuff at home. I'm thinking about the fight and that's it. I'm out of bounds. Don't tell me about anything like that."
