The undefeated heavyweight champion title may be out of his hands for now, but Tyson Fury recently found himself in the headlines for another reason entirely. Videos circulating online show Tyson Fury being escorted from a local bar in Morecambe by security staff, raising questions about his post-fight celebrations and overall well-being.
The footage depicts a seemingly intoxicated Fury stumbling outside the bar, reportedly "Nowhere" in his hometown. According to reports, Tyson Fury was enjoying a night out with friends and fans, but the festivities took a turn when security personnel deemed his level of intoxication a cause for concern as they escorted him out of this local bar
This incident comes just weeks after Fury's first professional defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in a highly anticipated heavyweight title fight. While Fury expressed his intention to unwind and "drink a few beers" with family after the grueling match, this recent video suggests his celebrations may have gone a bit too far.
The public's reaction to Fury's bar incident has been divided. Some fans, like DJ Scott Shearing who encountered Fury earlier that day, defend him, highlighting his down-to-earth personality and willingness to connect with fans despite his celebrity status.
However, others express concern. Fury has openly discussed his mental health struggles in the past, including a two-year hiatus from boxing due to personal challenges. In 2021, he reportedly quit drinking to prioritize his health and family. This latest incident raises questions about whether the pressures of fame and the recent loss might be leading him down a concerning path.
Despite the setback, Fury has activated his rematch clause, and he's set to face Usyk again in December. It remains to be seen how this recent incident will impact his training and preparation for the highly anticipated fight.
