Boxing fans fear Tyson Fury is 'going down a dark road again' as footage emerges of the Gypsy King collapsing outside a Morecambe bar after 'enjoying one drink too many' just weeks after his first professional loss
- Footage has emerged of Tyson Fury collapsing outside a bar in Morecambe
- Fans are worried that he may be struggling after his loss against Oleksandr Usyk
- Fury has previously spoken openly about his battles with his mental health
Boxing fans have expressed their concern for Tyson Fury after he was filmed being escorted out of a bar in his hometown of Morecambe before collapsing on the pavement outside.
Footage has emerged of the 35-year-old looking worse for wear on a night out just weeks after he suffered his first professional loss against Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia.
A source told The Sun that Fury 'had a couple too many and wasn’t feeling too well either' after partying with friends and fans.
The British heavyweight spent almost three years out of the ring after beating Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 as he turned to alcohol and ballooned up to 28 stone following struggles with his mental health where he admitted to contemplating suicide, and some fans fear he could be going down a similar path after his setback in the Middle East.
'This is really sad to see considering the problems he’s had in the past. I hope he’s not going down a dark road again,' one fan posted on X.

Another added: 'Oh no. I hope this isn’t a relapse. It’d be sad for him to go back to where he was after the Klitschko fight,' while a fellow X user admitted: 'Yep I was worried this would happen.'
Stumbling out of a bar after a night out may not seem like a big deal to some, but fans have pointed out that Fury's case could be very different given his past battles, and have called for him to get help to ensure things don't spiral out of control once more.
'Definitely not funny, remember where he was at before Wilder,' an X post read.
Echoing those sentiments, another fan posted: 'If you know anything about this guy’s story, you know not only is this not good, but it’s also not funny. I hope he gets the help he needs again… he doesn’t need to go out like that.'
Fury's defeat by Usyk occurred a little over three weeks ago, but it has already been announced that he will face the Ukrainian again on December 21.
It could be for the undisputed heavyweight crown once more, with the IBF still to make a final decision on whether to strip Usyk of his belt due to not defending it against his mandatory challenger.

Either way, it promises to be one of the biggest fights of the year, but after seeing Fury's collapse, doubts have been raised over whether the rematch with Usyk will actually happen.
'Psssttt…. Ain’t gonna be no rematch,' a fan insisted.
The scheduled rematch is still six months away, giving Fury time to recover from the heavy blows he took in the first fight and his concerning night out, but fans will hope he gets back on track quickly to give himself a chance of exacting revenge.
