A photo of the moment Britain's "bravest bouncers" escorted heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury out of a pub has been published by THE SUN.

The former world champion, who lost his title to Oleksandr Usik last month, was escorted out by two security officers on Friday night after having too many drinks in a bar in Morecambe, Lancashire.

Footage taken from inside the bar shows Fury being led out by security officers. The British boxer stumbled out of the bar and as he tried to stand up, he fell to his knees and hit his head on a lamppost in the street.

tyson, 35, whose fortune is estimated at £300 million thanks to his successful boxing career, was enjoying a night out with friends and fans. However, his evening ended when staff decided he was too intoxicated and gently persuaded him to leave the establishment.

A source close to Fury revealed that the fighter hadn't had a drink in over a year.

"He had too much to drink and wasn't feeling well," the source added.

Footage emerged on social media showing Fury being led out of the gym, with some fans joking that he was still feeling the effects of his recent defeat. Others, however, praised the staff for their bravery, joking that escorting the tall boxer was no easy task.

Despite the incident, Fury's fans expressed their support for him, emphasising that he deserves to enjoy some time off before his rematch with Usik later this year.

Earlier in the evening, Fury enjoyed drinks and posed for pictures with fans at the Strawberry Gardens pub in Morecambe. DJ Scott Shearing spoke up for Fury, highlighting his friendly nature, noting that Fury always goes out of his way to meet fans who ask for photos of him, even when he's relaxing.

"He was in the Strawberry Orchard for a few hours, singing and staying in the shade. A lot of people asked to have their picture taken with him. He took the time to do it. A girl I know took a picture with him and he gave her £20," Shiring shared.

Fury has spoken openly about his mental health issues and the pressures of fame and wealth. Despite these problems, he is proud to live in Morecambe and is a favourite figure in the community.

Recall, Tyson Fury and Alexander Usik met while fighting for the IBF, WBA, WBC, WBO and undisputed heavyweight titles on 18 May 2024. Tyson Fury lost. He is scheduled to meet Usik for a rematch on 21 December.
