Fury and Steward spoke about the incident on a series of hilarious Instagram stories. He was driving around with Steward, in Steward’s truck, when the duo was followed by an anonymous stalker.

Giving context about the incident, Steward said, “See, I’m gonna say what we did today. We played cops and robbers.”

Meanwhile, Steward further delved into the incident. He said, “It was somebody following us. So they got roundabouts here. I did about six roundabouts till they caught up and passed. And I was following him.”

Fury then talked about videotaping the stalker. Steward added to his words, saying, “Videoed him, asked him a few questions. I liked that. That’s having fun.”

Moreover, Fury pointed to Steward and himself, while referring to themselves as cops. He said, “Good cop, bad cop. That’s how we roll.”

He finally ended by saying, “Insights into the daily life of a champion.”

He said, “Tyson Fury is stalking me. It’s the most bizarre sentence. I’d wake up every day and I’ve got another message on social media.”

However, Fury retaliated with a video and dismissed McIntyre’s claims. He even went on to call McIntyre his ‘long-haired girlfriend’ who can’t stop thinking about him.
