Paris Fury has announced her seventh child's unique name - which includes a poignant tribute to Tyson's late cousin Rico Burton.
The mother-of-seven, who is married to the champion boxer, welcomed the newborn last month on September 18. Paris revealed they decided to call their baby Prince Rico Paris Fury – but he is affectionately known as Rico, the Mirror reports.
Rico is a nod to Tyson's late cousin who was murdered in a mass brawl outside a bar in Altrincham in August last year. The 31-year-old was stabbed by Liam O’Pray, who was jailed for life with a minimum of 28 years.

The baby's other middle name Paris is a tribute to his mum, while all four of their sons share the same first name Prince after Tyson said he was a 'king' and his sons are all 'princes'. Speaking to OK!, Paris explained their decision to name him Prince Rico.
She said: "All of my kids have got unusual names and obviously it’s also really personal to Tyson. We also added my name because I’ve had seven kids and I still haven’t had one named after me, so Tyson thought, 'Come on, it’s about time!'"
Tyson wasn't able to be there for the birth as he was 'fully immersed in training at camp'. However, he made sure to be there until a few hours before Rico was born.
Paris' mum was by her side to support her. She continued: "It was just a relief when he arrived and you can hear the crying.
"You just have an instant connection to your baby, I don’t know where it comes from."
