Paris Fury is reportedly 'dreading' Tyson Fury's upcoming rematch with Oleksandr Usyk on December 21.
The Gypsy King lost via split decision last month, with Usyk winning on points after wobbling the Briton in the ninth round.
Fury will have a chance to make amends when he returns to the ring later in the year.
Yet while many fans are looking forward to seeing the 35-year-old and Usyk go at each other for a second time, Paris doesn't seem to be among them.

A source has told Heat Magazine that she's 'dreading' the upcoming clash, which will take place in Saudi Arabia.
And it's said the couple had a series of 'blazing rows' before Fury lost to Usyk on May 18.
“She had all these worries – not to mention anger – about Tyson doing the first fight, which she’s had to put aside to focus on making sure he doesn’t spiral after his defeat," they're quoted as saying.
"So, to have to go through another cycle of that if there’s a rematch, she’s dreading it.
“She begged him not to do the first fight.
"They had blazing rows about it and, in the end, she couldn’t even be there to watch it because she knew what would likely happen – and what would come afterwards.”
They added: “Paris knows she has to focus on taking care of him and guiding him through this dark patch.
“This is where her battles begin, because it’s not just about having to take care of Tyson – there’s the whole family.
"It will all fall on her shoulders.
“She worries they won’t survive this. That’s what’s making her angry – he’s the fighter, but it’s her who is actually battling every day.”
Fury had been unbeaten prior to his clash with Usyk.
He started off the better of the two fighters, putting on a show for the crowd in the Kingdom Arena.
In the ninth round, however, everything changed.
Fury was wobbled by Usyk, with the Briton clinging to the ropes as the Ukrainian landed blow after blow.
Though he was able to regain some of his composure, the damage was done.

Meanwhile, boxing commentator Adam Smith thinks Fury needs to make several changes to his style in the rematch with Usyk.
Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: "Physically he has the attributes but he has to get behind the jabs.
"He didn't really use the jab well enough, the long right hands were good but he has to use the uppercuts they are a key shot too.
"He can't showboat, he has to just get on with it. He knows he is the bigger man and has the skillset.
"But we have seen it with Deontay Wilder? Has the trilogy taken it out of Tyson Fury?

"He was poor against Ngannou, he lost against Usyk but he is the great fighter of our generations.
"The answer is Fury can do it, but will he? Usyk is an all-time great."
