Posting on her following her husband's defeat to Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk, Paris, 34, told her Gypsy King that she would "never not be at your side for a fight again".
The mum-of-seven said she feels the pangs of regret for her absence from the historic match at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, writing: “19 and 20 on this newly married, love him more than ever, best man in my eyes.
“Will never not be at your side for a fight again. Even though I couldn't be there, I wished I was.”
Overlaying a photo of the couple in their younger years sharing a loving embrace, Paris reaffirmed her devotion to the Gypsy King by adding in the traditional 'to have and to hold' marriage vows to her post.

Despite usually being present whenever Tyson, 35, is in the ring, Paris recently revealed that she ‘hates’ watching her husband fight.
“I hate it, I've got to be truthful, that's the flat out answer. I support him but I don't enjoy it. I hate being there but on the other hand, I feel like I have to be there.
“I feel like, if I'm not there, what happens if something goes wrong and I’m not with him?” she admitted.
Meanwhile, Usyk’s wife embraced the limelight in a cream wide-legged trouser suit and was seen posing for snaps with ex boxer Wladimir Klitschko.
