‘Still good-looking’ – Tyson Fury makes light of video of himself falling over on drunken night out as he dismisses concerns
Tyson Fury has insisted fans have nothing to be worried about after a video emerged of him on a drunken night out two weeks ago.
The Gypsy King sparked concern among friends and supporters earlier this month as a couple of clips went viral of him at a pub in Morecambe.

The first video showed a drunken, stumbling Fury being escorted out of a pub, while the second then showed him falling over and faceplanting on the pavement outside.
Fury had not spoken about the incident since, but addressed it in a new video on his on Thursday night.
"I got p***ed up about two weeks ago and fell over on my face," he said, making light of the situation, "Didn't do any damage though, still good-looking."
Fury then took a more serious tone and continued: "I've had lots of messages and people phoning asking if I'm alright.

"You're a grown man and have a drunken night out and all of a sudden [people think] you're gonna jump in front of a train.
"Obviously from my past history people are concerned, but I've just been chilling out and spending time with my family."
Fans will be happy to hear Fury assuage fears that he is heading down the same path which saw his life spiral out of control in 2016.
Back then, the heavyweight king suffered mental health issues after dethroning Wladimir Klitschko and went on several drink and drugs binges.

Now though, Fury is already back in the gym and said he's still training five times per week with the aim of staying in shape for the Usyk rematch on December 21.
Reflecting on their first fight in May, Fury said: "I've watched the fight back lots of times and still got the same answer - I thought I won the fight.
"Usyk knows he didn't beat me…
"I thought I boxed the head right off him for most of the rounds.
"He landed good punch in round eight and busted my nose, in round nine he had a 10-8 round, and I gave him round ten.
"But other than that I didn't give him any other rounds."
Fury added: "It was actually a lot easier than I thought it'd be, the Usyk fight.
"People said he's a hard man to hit, I was lighting him up with four-punch combinations and laughing at him.
"My problem in that fight was I probably had too much fun. It was probably too easy.
"It was like I was in there with a local amateur boxer.
"I was enjoying it too much, messing around and paid the ultimate price in round nine.”
