Tyson Fury has found support from an unlikely ally after the boxer was recently in the news for a concerning video of him on a night out! ‘The Gypsy King’ lost the undisputed heavyweight championship clash between him and Oleksandr Usyk on May 18, following which he announced that, “…I won that fight … I’ll be back. I’ve got a rematch clause.”

The rematch is reported to have been scheduled for December 21 in Riyadh, but it appears that the former undisputed heavyweight champion has been indulging himself in ‘partying’ a little too much. The boxer found himself in the headlines when a video of him being escorted out of a bar went viral online and to everyone’s surprise, Dillon Danis has come out to defend ‘The Gypsy King’ against criticism being leveled against him on the internet!

After his split decision loss to Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh, Tyson Fury revealed his plans after the fight. In a report shared by Marca, Fury stated, “We punched the f*** out of each other for 12 rounds, so I’ll go home, eat some food, drink a few beers, have some family time.”

However, it appears that he had more than a “few beers” as a video of the boxer was shared on X by the ‘Happy Punch’ account with the caption, “Tyson Fury got escorted out of a bar and face planted on the concrete this weekend.”

The video shows Fury being escorted out of a bar in his hometown of Morecambe by a few members of the security staff. According to reports online, ‘The Gypsy King’ had been enjoying himself at the venue with his friends and fans but the security staff decided that he was excessively intoxicated and as such, decided to escort him out of the premises.

The footage also showed Fury having trouble staying on his feet outside the bar as he fell to his knees and appeared to have slammed his face onto the pavement. The video drew a large response from the online community, with many fans criticizing his behavior. Still, a contrasting opinion was shared by Dillon Danis, former Bellator MMA fighter, and Conor McGregor’s friend and training partner.

Danis posted on X, “We’ve all been there. Stop hating!”, possibly referencing his viral moment from 2021 when he was in the news after footage surfaced online of Danis getting choked out by a bouncer outside of a bar. However, despite the recent incident, Fury appears to be determined to avenge his loss against Usyk as his brother made a bold proclamation about ‘The Gypsy King’s chances in a rematch against the Ukrainian!
