If there's two things we know about Tyson Fury, its that he knows how to fight and he knows how to celebrate.

With that being said, after 'The Gypsy King' knocked out Dillian Whyte in front of 94,000 fans at Wembley Stadium, his celebrations were slightly delayed.

"There was no party that night," Fury wrote in his most recent autobiography 'Gloves Off' when describing the aftermath of his clash with Whyte.

"Rather than racking up a huge nightclub bar tab, we drove from Wembley to our Letchmore Heath hotel, only stopping at a petrol station to buy a packet of sweets and a four-pack of beer.

"One for me, one for Dad, one for Tommy and one for SugarHill. By the time we arrived back at base camp, everyone was shattered.

"I ordered a delivery pizza that never showed and went to bed, hungry but satisfied.

"When I woke the following morning and looked from my window I saw a lone figure sitting on a bench in the hotel garden.

"Was he drinking from a bottle of whisky? I checked my watch. It was 7am. Bit early, I thought.

"Then when I looked again, I realised the bloke on the bench was SugarHill. I stuck my head out of the window. ‘What are you doing?’

"SugarHill turned and waved the bottle at me. ‘I’m celebrating,’ he said. ‘We didn’t do it last night, so I’ve started this morning.’ ‘Right. Hold tight, pal. I’m coming down.’

"I took a couple of beers from the mini bar and joined SugarHill for a weird moment of reflection on that hotel garden bench. He’d found a quiet spot in front of a pond.

"I sat down next to him and cracked open the first drink. SugarHill nodded and we toasted, our bottles clinking."

This was supposed to be the beginning of Fury's life away from boxing, having retired from the sport, but now just six months later, he is back to fight Derek Chisora on December 3.

This is simply a keep busy fight for Fury, as he is hoping to take on Oleksandr Usyk next year in a bout that will see the first undisputed heavyweight champion crowned in the four-belt era.
