Tyson Fury caught in drunken antics: Boxing Star escorted from bar
The sports world was shaken by a video showing a wholly drunk and unable-to-stand Tyson Fury. Security guards escorted the former world heavyweight boxing champion, who suffered the first defeat of his professional career last month, out of a British bar.

The incident occurred on Friday, but photos and videos have now appeared online. They show that Fury had drunk one or several drinks too many at the Nowhere Bar in Morecambe, United Kingdom.
First, we see Fury still in the bar. The former champion is unsteady on his feet and is being escorted by security guards.
The 35-year-old Tyson Fury, estimated at £300 million fortune, was partying with friends and fans at the venue, which offers drinks for only £2.50 until 11:00 pm GMT.
But his evening came to an end when staff determined he was too drunk, so they gently urged the Gypsy King to return to the £1.7 million residence he shares with his wife Paris and their seven children.
Tyson Fury first lost in Riyadh to Usyk, and now, as we can see, also to the bar crew. But the rematch with Oleksandr is far away, you have to relax somehow... - emphasizes journalist Przemysław Garczarczyk.
We see online that the Briton was so drunk that, at certain moments, he was crawling on the pavement and walking on all fours. The "The Sun" newspaper emphasizes that the athlete had not drunk for over a year, adding: "He had a couple too many and wasn’t feeling too well either."
Fury to earn huge money
On 18 May 2024, at the Riyadh, Saudi Arabia gala, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury delivered great emotions to professional boxing fans. The stakes of their clash were the belts of the most important federations in the heavyweight division. Ultimately, the Ukrainian was the undisputed champion, who won by a split decision of the judges.
The Saudi Arabian Minister responsible for organizing boxing events, Turki Alalshikh, announced a rematch later this year. Fury and Usyk will face each other again in Riyadh just before Christmas, specifically on 21 December.
The gentlemen earned a total of £115 million for the first fight. The more significant portion went to Fury, who was supposed to receive £85 million. The remaining sum went to Usyk, who ultimately became the holder of all the most important belts.
The British "The Sun" has learned that even more money will be up for grabs in the rematch. There will be as much as £150 million to split.
