A video of Tyson Fury recently circulated online, showing him being escorted out of a pub in his hometown of Morecambe.
This incident has raised concerns among fans, especially given Fury’s well-documented mental health issues and coming just weeks after his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in their undisputed clash.

However, DJ Scott Shearing took to Facebook to defend Fury, stating that the boxer was in good spirits.
He emphasized Fury’s down-to-earth nature, highlighting that despite being a multi-millionaire, Fury still engages in everyday activities like shopping and going to the pub.
Shearing praised Fury for his approachability, mentioning that he often takes photos with fans and even gave £20 to a young girl for a picture.
Shearing acknowledged the challenges that come with fame and fortune, noting that while these can lead to excesses like drinking, Fury should be respected for his achievements and his love for Morecambe.
He called for appreciation and suggested that Morecambe should have a statue celebrating Fury’s contributions rather than criticizing him.
