In the aftermath of his loss to Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury was captured on film being dragged out of a pub by brave doormen, before collapsing on the floor.
With the hardest training camp of his career firmly in the rearview mirror, ‘The Gypsy King’ is enjoying some well-earned time off, dancing the night away on Friday evening in Nowhere Bar in Morecambe, UK.
Brave bouncers escort Tyson Fury out of a UK pub
Equipped with huge muscles and often a background in some sort of combat sport, security staff working in bars are enrolled with the job of making sure that trouble makers are removed from the venue.
Often, this results in smaller men being launched out of the club, with the security staff ruling the roost. However, while it’s one thing dealing with your average punter, having to remove the former heavyweight champion of the world is an entirely different kettle of fish.
With his mind on the party, Tyson Fury, who’s worth an astonishing £300m from his iconic boxing bouts, left it all on the dance floor in a bar near his home, serving drinks for £2.50 until 11 PM.
However, as the evening rolled on, the 6ft9 giant’s condition worsened, with the bouncers bravely informing the boxer that it would be best if he returned home.

Luckily for them, rather than arguing with the decision, he gracefully left the building. Alas, the quantity of alcohol he consumed began to rear its ugly head, with Fury collapsing to his knees and banging his head on a lamp post.
While some have critiqued the fighter’s conduct, others have risen to his defense.
DJ Scott Shearing said: “The man is a bl**dy legend, multi millionaire and yet he is still just like you or me. Goes to the pub just like you, maybe gets drunk just like you too. I get he is a public figure but he is only human.”
A source told The Sun: “He had a couple too many and wasn’t feeling too well either.”
A woman who saw the incident, added: “I heard a lot of shouting and commotion and then I saw Tyson crawling on his hands and knees in the street. He looked in a bad way. Hopefully it was just a one-off blow out for him.”
With his major rematch with Oleksandr Usyk rumored for December 21, fans are concerned whether the former WBC champion will be in fighting condition when the moment of truth comes. And he’s not the only heavyweight star combat sports enthusiasts are worried for.
NFL icon is fearful for what will happen to Mike Tyson in his boxing bout with Jake Paul
Having scaled the heights of American Football and proven himself inside the boxing ring, former Kansas City Chiefs star, Le’Veon Bell, knows a thing or two about competition.
Therefore, if he’s worried for Mike Tyson against Jake Paul, perhaps we all should be.
The phenom was originally scheduled to take on ‘The Problem Child’ on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, USA. However, in what came as no major surprise, at the age of 57, the former world champion’s body let him down, with an ulcer flare-up aboard a plane forcing Netflix to postpone until November 15.
Sadly, the extra preparation time isn’t enough to convince Bell that Tyson has much of a chance, with the ex-All-Pro running back posting a powerful video on Twitter, begging his hero to pull out.
