Tyson Fury was captured looking very worse for wear
The former two-time world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury was captured on camera being escorted from a bar by security in Morecombe, last Friday, after becoming to drunk to even stand.
He left quietly and amicably as an elderly security worker ushered him from the bar by his arm. As ‘The Gypsy King’ got outside, he struggled to stand upright and ended up faceplanting into the pavement and bumping his head into a lamppost.
A source close to Tyson Fury said he hadn’t had a an alcoholic drink for over a year, “He had a couple too many and wasn’t feeling well either.”
The heavyweight hero is reportedly worth over £300million and was being served all night long in a venue that offers drinks from just £2.50.
After he became too intoxicated to even stand, the staff gently persuaded the local to head back to his £1.7million mansion to his wife, Paris, and seven children.
The 35-year-old Brit was defeated for the first time in his career last month, May 18, by Oleksandr Usyk in the only undisputed heavyweight fight of this century.
Some fans on social media platform X joked that Fury was still stunned by the left hook from Usyk in round nine, but most showed genuine concern over his mental health.
After winning his first world titles in 2015, Fury spiralled into depression, suicidal thoughts, drug abuse and weight gain. He was even quoted saying he wanted to die and that the only thing that helps is getting drunk out of his mind.
On October 4th 2016, in an interview with Rolling Stone, Fury admitted, “I’m going through a lot of personal demons, trying to shake them off, this has got nothing to do with my fighting – what I’m going through right now is my personal life. I’ve not been in a gym for months.
“I’ve been going through depression. I just don’t want to live anymore, if you know what I’m saying. I’ve had total enough of it. Never mind cocaine. I just didn’t care. I don’t want to live anymore. So cocaine is a little minor thing compared to not wanting to live anymore.
“I am seeing help, but they can’t do nothing for me. What I’ve got is incurable. I don’t want to live. All the money in the world, fame and glory, means nothing if you’re not happy. I’m seeing psychiatrists. They say I’ve got a version of bipolar. I’m a manic depressive. I don’t even want to wake up. I hope I die every day. And that’s a bad thing to say when I’ve got three children and a lovely wife isn’t it?
“But I don’t want to live anymore. And if I could take me own life – and I wasn’t a Christian – I’d take it in a second. I just hope someone kills me before I kill meself. I’ll have to spend eternity in hell.
“I’ve been out drinking, Monday to Friday to Sunday, and taking cocaine. I can’t deal with it and the only thing that helps me is when I get drunk out of me mind.”
