Tyson Fury and Paris Fury have said they are "over the moon" after welcoming the birth of their seventh child.
In the early hours of Monday morning, the pair welcomed the arrival of a baby boy, who was delivered at 2:29am, weighing 6lb 13oz. The 35-year-old heavyweight champion and his wife, 33, have been together for 15-years.

"We're over the moon to have welcomed our baby boy to the Fury family," the pair told OK!. "His brothers and sisters can't wait to meet him and create lots of Fury fun! Our boy is the most perfect addition and we're bursting with love for him. It's crazy how you can love someone so quick."
The pair, who married in 2008, have six other children. Their eldest, Venezuela, is 13. Their other children are 10-year-old Prince John James, six-year-old Prince 'Tutty' Tyson, five-year-old Valencia, four-year-old Prince Adonis Amaziah and two-year-old Athena.
Will Tyson Fury ever face off against Oleksandr Usyk again? Let us know in the comments section below.
Fury is set to return to the ring for the first time since defeating Derek Chisora last December at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next month when he faces off against UFC star Francis Ngannou out in Saudi Arabia.
The pair are set to compete in a boxing match, which will be 10 rounds and counted as an official bout, despite Fury's title belts not being on the line against the UFC fighter.
While the fight against Ngannou will likely draw plenty of eyeballs simple due to the intrigue surrounding it, most boxing fans continue to hold out hope that Fury will finally take to the ring to face off against Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk sooner rather than later.
The time for talking is almost over as KSI and Tommy Fury will bury their rivarly once and for all as they face off in Manchester on Saturday, October 14th. Logan Paul will also be fighting at the event in front of what is expected to be a sell-out crowd.

Last year, the pair looked to have agreed to a bout that would see them meet in a heavyweight unification clash, only for talks to collapse. However, WBC council president Mauricio Sulaiman continues to hold out hope the sport of boxing will one day see Fury and Usyk face off.
"Fury is the best heavyweight without a doubt," Sulaiman told Gambling.com.
"We would like to see Fury vs Usyk so we will not interfere in the plans to have a major showdown for all the belts, so there is no hurry to find a mandatory contender, and we will see what happens at the WBC convention."
