Footage has emerged of Tyson Fury being escorted out of Morecambe bar with heavyweight boxing star claimed to have “enjoyed one drink too many.” Fury was seen in video footage being led out by two security staff at Nowhere bar.
Fans on social media dubbed them as “Britain’s bravest bouncers.” Further footage showed the 35-year-old boxer stumbling to his knees on streets on Friday night. According to The Sun, Fury had partied with friends and fans at venue in his native Morecambe. He was reportedly asked to leave by security. They deemed the boxer to have become too intoxicated.
“He had a couple too many and wasn’t feeling too well either” a source close to Fury was quoted by The Sun. ” Tyson Fury not taking his first ever loss well. Former Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury is kicked out of bar in Morecambe for being too drunk,” one fan wrote on social media.
The night out comes weeks after Fury was beaten by Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk in their undisputed heavyweight world title fight. The previously unbeaten Fury suffered split decision loss in Saudi Arabia. He saw his WBC belt ripped away from him by defeat.
Fury has since activated rematch clause. The pair is set to face off again on December 21. The Gypsy King had revealed after his loss. He planned to relax with his wife Paris and their seven children. As well as “drink a few beers” before the rematch. “We punched f*** out of each other for 12 rounds. I’ll go home eat some food, drink few beers have some family time. Walk the dog, go to the tip” Fury said last month.
Tyson Fury Defended on Social Media
Fury was defended on social media by DJ Scott Shearing. He revealed the star had been in Strawberry Gardens pub in Morecambe earlier in day. “I’m sure you’ve all seen video of Tyson Fury being escorted out of Nowhere on FB. Lots of people with plenty to say” Shearing wrote.”
“The man is a bloody legend. A multi-millionaire and yet he is still just like you or me. He goes out shopping, just like you. Goes to pub just like you maybe gets drunk just like you too. I get he is a public figure. But he is only human.”
“I take my hat off to him. Everywhere he goes people ask him for photos when he’s just out like everyone else to relax and unwind. He always obliges. He was in the Strawbs Fri for a good few hours. They were all singing and keeping to themselves.”
“Lots of people asked to have their picture taken with him. He took the time to do this. In fact, a young girl I know had her picture with him. He gave her £20. The man has a heart and feelings for god sake.”
“In boxing he is legend regardless of his last fight. However he is proud to live in Morecambe. Always mentions us. Money and fame can bring its own problems. When temptation for excess of anything is available be it buying fancy cars or houses. Or going out drinking it must be hard to cope. Mentally.”
“Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t turn it down. Your every move is in the spotlight. He has his own demons with mental health. And all that goes along with it but let’s show the man some respect. For his achievements and love of Morecambe. We should have statue on the prom. Celebrating him not putting him down at every opportunity.”
Tyson Fury has previously been open about his own mental health struggles. After he dethroned Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf in November 2015. Only to surrender his belts amid problems in his private life. The Gypsy King had ballooned up to 28st during two years out of the ring. Before shedding his excess weight. And returning to the sport.
During his spell away from ring Fury famously forked out £813 to buy 200 Jagerbombs for England fans.
It was reported in 2021 that Fury had given up booze for his own wellbeing and for good of his family. This change came amid reports that he had been drinking 12 pints a day.
However, he went on a big night out in Melbourne last May. This occurred after he flew over to support his close friend Joseph Parker. He was pictured drinking in CBD nightclub Bond Bar.
Just weeks after narrowly beating former UFC champion Francis Ngannou, Tyson Fury told Ty
he had been boozing and “eating s***.” He was “not interested in undisputed” before he finally agreed to face Usyk earlier this year.
