And he hit the headlines after appearing to boot a cab just weeks after announcing his retirement from boxing.

Fury is continuing to train – amid rumours of a comeback – while having some fun on the sauce.

He told Queensberry Promotions: “I train twice a day, every day, running in the morning and weights and boxing in the evening.

“But thats not for a specific reason, just to keep he physically and mentally well.

“I have been enjoying myself, running a minimum of four miles and maximum six and I am sparing and boxing.

“I also have a few beers now and then, kick a couple of taxis like we have all seen.

“I have enjoyed myself, been abroad and acted like a proper idiot – like we all do – and I am back in Morecambe Bay so I am very happy.”

Man of the people Fury – hailed as the “People’s Champ” before – said he was like any other ordinary holidaygoer who has had one too many.

“I am not some programmed robot who gets told what to say and do.

“I am as real as waking up in the morning and having breakfast and putting your shoes on. There is no script here.”

Fury remains linked with a crossover exhibition-style fight with UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, 35.

And he is also in line to challenge the winner between Anthony Joshua, 32, and Oleksandr Usyk, 35, who rematch on August 20.

But first and foremost, Fury is concentrated on fulfilling his evening with tours and penning another book.

He said: “I have a UK tour coming up, starting in Carlisle and that will be an epic tour.
