Heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury was escorted out of a pub by bouncers and subsequently collapsed outside. The incident took place on Friday evening at the Nowhere bar in Morecambe, Lancashire, after the British former world champion, who recently lost his title to Oleksandr Usyk, had one drink too many.
Footage captured Fury, 35, scrambling to stand before falling to his knees and bumping his head on a lamp post. The boxer, worth an estimated £300 million, had been enjoying a night out with friends and fans, with drinks at the venue priced at just £2.50 until 11 pm.
Despite the festive atmosphere, staff decided Fury was too intoxicated and gently persuaded him to return to his £1.7 million mansion, where he lives with his wife, Paris, and their seven children.
DJ Scott Shearing commented on the incident, saying, “The man is a legend, a multimillionaire, yet he’s just like you or me. Goes to the pub, maybe gets drunk. He’s a public figure, but he’s only human.”
A source close to Fury revealed that the fighter had not consumed alcohol for over a year, adding, “He had a couple too many and wasn’t feeling too well either.”
Fury’s fans sympathized with the boxer, understanding his need to unwind before his anticipated rematch with Usyk later this year.
