Tyson Fury’s Tumultuous Night Out: Champion Boxer Stumbles After Pub Ejection
Tyson Fury’s Tumultuous Night Out: Champion Boxer Stumbles After Pub Ejection
In a startling turn of events, Tyson Fury, the towering 6ft 9in Gypsy King, was seen being ejected from a local pub in Morecambe before stumbling on the pavement outside. This incident, which occurred on Friday night, comes just three weeks after his first professional loss to Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia, casting a shadow over what has been a difficult period for the heavyweight champion.
The Unsteady Exit
The video footage initially captures Fury being escorted out of the Nowhere bar by two security staff. The unsteady boxer, who had been enjoying the night with family and friends, appeared to struggle with his balance as he was guided towards the exit. The situation quickly deteriorated as Fury was seen falling twice after leaving the establishment, even hitting his head on a post during his shaky departure. A friend of the boxer suggested that his mishap might not have been solely due to alcohol. “He had a couple too many and wasn’t feeling too well either,” they said, hinting at a possible underlying issue.
A Grueling Year and a Crushing Defeat
Fury’s rough night out follows nearly a year of rigorous training and preparation for a highly anticipated bout with former UFC champion Francis Ngannou. Despite securing a win, the victory was considered lackluster by many, leading Fury to set his sights on Oleksandr Usyk with the ultimate goal of becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion. The much-delayed fight, which took place on May 18, saw both fighters risking their undefeated records. Usyk emerged victorious, altering Fury’s record to 34-1-1. However, with a rematch clause in place, Fury may have a chance for revenge before the end of the year.
Struggles with Alcohol and Mental Health
Currently, Fury appears to be in a phase of unwinding, but the recent footage of him being turned away from a pub might lead to some regrets. In his Netflix series ‘At Home With The Fury’s’, the boxer admitted that alcohol affects him quickly, especially after periods of abstinence. “Two, three pints I’m gone, especially beer. Senseless, speechless drunk. Especially if you don’t drink all of the time,” Fury revealed in the lead-up to his fight with Ngannou.
While Fury has been seen inebriated in public before, he has also been praised for his openness about his mental health struggles. Following his initial retirement, Fury’s father, John, disclosed that Tyson had plunged into depression, facing significant challenges. “Last time that Tyson retired, a lot went on. He went 10 stone over his body weight. Drinking non-stop, eating rubbish,” John revealed.
A Father’s Concern
John Fury has always been a vocal presence in his son’s life and career, and he remains candid about his concerns. “If I think Tyson or any of my sons are doing something that’s detrimental to themselves, I’ll be the first to say it straight,” John Fury stated, emphasizing his protective stance.
As Tyson Fury navigates this challenging period, fans and observers alike hope that the Gypsy King will find his balance once more, both in and out of the ring. The road ahead may be tough, but with his resilience and the support of his family, Tyson Fury’s story is far from over.
