TYSON FURY has left fans in hysterics after he posted a Christmas card featuring his boxing rivals mocked up as his children.
The likes of Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder feature on the star’s hilarious boxing-themed card.
Dillian White, Wladimir Klitschko, Anthony Joshua, David Haye and Deontay Wilder feature on Fury’s Christmas card mock-up
Never one to turn down hijinks, Fury took to Instagram for one final prank before Christmas
The Gypsy King is looking forward to Christmas with his wife Paris and his six children.
But his family were nowhere to be found as he mocked-up a Christmas card that featured some of the heavyweights he has tangled with inside and outside the ring.
Fury’s Instagram sees a Christmas-style card with the champ stood in his suit alongside five children.
But instead of his actual kids, the boxer superimposed the faces of some of his rivals over the children.
Fury is holding a child who bears Dillian Whyte’s face while below them, stood next to a Christmas tree, is Joshua, Wilder, Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye.
Fans were loving the surprise Christmas Eve social media post.
One said: “[Fury] really is a legend” with laughing emojis.”
Another added: “I’m not a Fury fan, but I find this funny.”
A third said online: “This is pure class…. What are any of those boxers going to say?”
The 34-year-old has history with all of the men who he featured on the card, most notably Wilder who he fought in three epic contests between 2018 and 2021.
The first fight is best remembered for the extraordinary final round when Fury miraculously recovered after being floored by a vicious Wilder punch.
Following that bout being scored as a draw, two more action-packed fights followed with Fury scrapping his way to two spectacular wins.

He has also beaten Whyte and Klitschko before, with the 2015 battle against the Ukrainian seeing him win the WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO and the Ring titles.
A fight with Haye was meant to happen in 2013 but the Hayemaker pulled out with injury.
And Fury spent several weeks earlier this year desperately trying to put on a fight with Joshua before negotiations fell apart.
Noticeably missing from the mock-up was Fury’s other trilogy rival, Derek Chisora.
The two faced off in 2011, 2014 and earlier this month with the Gypsy King winning all three.
Many fans also noticed that the current WBO, IBF and WBA title holder Oleksandr Usyk is also a big name absent from Fury’s Christmas card tribute.
The pair look set to meet next year in a mouth-watering undisputed clash.
