He said: “Tyson’s brother-in-law is local and he was the one who told me he was interested and he brought him in.
“When he’s visited, it’s always been when the pub is closed because he is a man who likes a bit of peace and quiet.”
Fury came down to see the boozer in Retford, Notts, from his home in Morecambe.
He announced his retirement from boxing after beating Dillian Whyte in April.
But the 6ft 7in Gipsy King could fight Anthony Joshua this December.
Barry said: “Fury is a great character and it has been nice meeting him.
“It’s amazing how tall he is though, he really has to duck down when he comes into the pub.
“He told me he’s not looking to change much about the place.
“I’ve built it up myself because we did a full refurbishment when I took it on and we’ve now got a lovely lounge on one side of the bar and a sports bar on the other.”
Local Portia Crossley said: “That is very exciting. I think we’ll go in out of curiosity.”

Punching Techniques
There are seven kinds of punches: Left Hook, Right Hook, Uppercut, Cross, Straight, Overhand and Underhand. Each punch comes with its own technique. Some punches need more power than others. An uppercut, for instance, requires tremendous strength. A straight punch, on the other hand requires less power and is quicker than other punches.
There are also different combinations. These are combinations of punches that work together to achieve a specific goal. One combination can have many parts. A combination may include multiple parts. For example, damage to the jaw of an opponent can be caused by a left hook and a right cross.
Guard Techniques
Boxers use their bodies to defend themselves against attack. He does so by using his arms, elbows and hands as well as his knees, knees and legs.
Legs
Boxers should use the legs to protect themselves against kicks. If he gets kicked, he raises one leg and turns away from his attacker. To avoid being kicked on the sides, he bends at his knees when the attacker strikes from the front. If the attack comes from behind, however, he can stand straight up and block the kick by his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very effective because they inflict much pain. An elbow strike may be delivered directly or in an indirect manner. Directly means that your opponent is hit with your forearm. However, indirectly means that your elbow strike is delivered with another part or your arm.
Hands
Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. To do so, they raise their fists above their head and move them towards the direction of the attack. They then touch the attackers fist.
Knees
To absorb the impact of a punch to the stomach, abdomen, or chest, boxers should bend their knees. Knee strikes can be used to defend yourself.
Feet
When attacked, a boxer should step back and deliver counter-attacks. He can then gain distance from his opponent. In addition, when delivering a counter-attack, a boxer should keep his balance.
Stances
Boxing is only possible if a boxer has a clear stance. The way he defends him will be dictated by his stance. It is how he positions himself and where he faces the opponent. There are many stances available to boxers. These are some of our most favorite:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Moving your body
Boxers must maneuver around their opponent to win fights. This involves changing position, speed and rhythm.
Rotation
Boxers rotate their arms when they throw a punch. Different types of punches require different speeds for the rotation.
Combinations
The timing of each punch determines the effectiveness of a combination. A combination is good if it starts with a strong punch then ends with a weaker one.
Spare parts
Sparring is an exercise session to improve boxing skills. A sparring session is where a boxer trains both his mind and his body. The purpose of sparring is, in short, to learn how fight and not get hurt.
To sum it all, boxing requires patience and dedication. To become a better fighter, you have to train hard and continue to work.
