Tyson shared the happy news on boxing correspondent Gareth A Davies’ YouTube series.
Tyson revealed the news while gushing about his family values, telling Davies: ‘Paris is pregnant again and the Lord has blessed us definitely with another child and I’m very thankful.
‘Got a beautiful wife, beautiful kids, they’re all healthy. That’s the most important thing, you know, your health and your family.

‘Nothing else really matters. Your job, your money, your wealth, your career, none of that really matters because you can get another job, you can start snooker or you can go make more money.
‘It doesn’t really matter but the one thing you can’t get back is your family. You can’t get back time lost and that’s the crazy thing about it all.’
The proud dad, who is the highest-paid fighter of 2020 with £46million in earnings, also spoke about how he and Paris are raising their children to understand the value of money.
‘For me it’s very important to stay close to my grassroots as I’ve got a lot of kids coming up, I’ve got five kids, very important for them to know the value of money,’ he explained.

‘It’s very important for them to know how to earn money. So, if they see me splashing out all the time and living a move stars’ lifestyle they grow up thinking that’s the only way they can live.
‘To earn from a normal job, £200-300-a-week, however much they’re going to get, they might think that’s no good if they’ve been spoiled rotten by multimillionaire parents.
‘So I don’t do that. My kids don’t go to private school, I don’t have any private education, they just go to normal school, everyone does normal stuff.’
Paris, who shares a sprawling family home with Tyson and their children in Morecambe, has been forging ahead with her own career over the past year, landing a role as a panellist on Loose Women last year.
