Tyson Fury appeared to respond to critics of his daughter's engagement at 16 by sharing a video posted by an account focusing on 'Islamic reminders, stories and reflections.'
Former heavyweight world champion Tyson appeared to respond to the criticism on Instagram.
Fury shared a video by minaret minds, an Instagram account which states that it focuses on 'Islamic reminders, stories and reflections.'
In the video, the narrator states '50 years ago people got married at 18 and stayed together until death. Today people wait until 30 to get married and divorce within three years.
'Back then, couples had nothing but built everything together. Now couples have everything but can't build anything together. Our grandparents shared one small room and called it paradise. We have five bedroom houses and call them prisons.
'The only difference is we now call commitment settling and call running away finding yourself.
'Who convinced us that love expires, that compatibility is instant, that marriage should feel like a Disney movie every day.
'If we question ourselves, we might stop expecting perfection and start building connection.
'I ask have we become on focused on finding the one that we forgot how to become the one.'

In August the couple married for the third time, with a ceremony held in the South of France, attended by their seven children.
