Tyson Fury's daughter moves into static caravan after wedding

Venezuela Fury, 16, eldest daughter of boxer Tyson Fury, married boxer Noah Price and is moving from her parents' £8 million mansion into a static caravan at a traveller campsite in East Riding of Yorkshire. The caravan, named 'The Manor House,' features a white, gold, and marble interior with an open-plan kitchen and living area, a bedroom, and a bathroom with a freestanding bathtub. Her father gave the couple £5 million, paid for the honeymoon, and gifted a traditional gypsy wagon. Venezuela and Noah are reportedly exploring TV and brand deal opportunities.

Static caravan owner Jasmine Jones criticized the park for expanding from 40 to 250 caravans without upgrading infrastructure. South West Water found no issues with its network, and Park Holidays UK did not respond to a request for comment.
