TYSON Fury was seen hours after collapsing in the street as Britain’s “bravest” bouncer escorted him out of a pub.
The British former world champion – who lost the title to Oleksandr Usyk last month – was led away by two bouncers on Friday night after drinking too much at the Nowhere bar in Morecambe, Lancs.

Footage showed the legendary boxer getting down on one knee before hitting his head on a post outside.
Fury appeared to shrug off the incident today as he took a seaside stroll along the Morecambe Bay promenade with his father, John, 59.
Wearing an all-blue tracksuit, Tyson, 35, was seen scrolling through his phone while enjoying the fresh air.
The former champion, who made around £300million from his hugely successful boxing career, partied with friends and fans at the venue last Friday.
But his night came to an end when the team decided he was too drunk, so the team gently persuaded the Gypsy King to return to his £1.7 million mansion, which he shares with his wife Paris and their seven children.
Earlier, Fury had a few drinks while chatting to fans at the Strawberry Gardens pub in Morecambe.
A source close to Fury said the fighter hadn’t had a drink for over a year, adding: “He had too much to drink and wasn’t feeling very well either.”
Another video taken by a driver while waiting to pick up his son showed Fury crawling on his hands and knees outside the bar with his head on the sidewalk.
The woman said: “I heard a lot of screaming and commotion and then I saw Tyson crawling on his knees in the street. He looked bad. I hope it was just a one-time hit for him.”
Some fight fans joked that Fury still looked shaken from his ninth-round knockout in his split decision loss to Ukrainian Uysk, after a video of Fury being walked was posted on social media.
While another praised the doorman for his bravery, joking: “That doorman absolutely terrified.”
Other Fury fans sympathized with the boxer for taking advantage of his downtime before fighting Usyk again later this year.
Come as a friend said Online Mail that there is extra concern for Fury’s well-being after the first defeat of his career.
They told the outlet: “Tyson and alcohol don’t mix well.
“He has used drinking as a coping mechanism, which for anyone suffering from ADHD is never a good idea.
“But given that he returned to drinking after such a high-profile defeat, there is a fear within his group that, more than ever, his support network needs to be ready to protect him during what could be a particularly difficult phase of his life.
“He’s never lost a professional boxing fight before, so they’re unknown territory in terms of anticipating how he will deal with it.”
The Gypsy King suffered a well-publicized fall from grace in 2015 following his shock victory over Wladimir Klitschko, which saw him rise to 28 stone and trigger a three-year absence from the ring.
He sank into depression fueled by drink and drugs as he struggled to cope with the fame and fortune that the surprise victory bestowed upon him.
DJ Scott Shearing defended Fury and told how he happily posed for photos with dozens of fans and even gave £20 to a young woman.
Posting a photo of Fury online, he added: “I’m sure you all saw the video of Tyson Fury being escorted out of Nowhere on FB. Lots of people with a lot to say.
“The man is a legend, a multimillionaire and yet he is just like you or me. He goes out shopping, just like you.
“Go to the pub like you, maybe get drunk like you too. I understand he is a public figure, but he is only human.
Inside the Gypsy King’s royal court
TYSON FURY is one of the greatest characters in sport.
“He was at Strawbs Sex for a few hours and everyone was singing and being alone.
“A lot of people asked to take a photo with him. He took the time to do this, in fact a young lady I know had a photo of her with him and he gave her £20.
“Man has a heart and feelings, for God’s sake. In boxing he is a legend regardless of his last fight however he is proud to live in Morecambe and always mentions us.
“Money and fame can bring its own problems when the temptation of excess of anything exists and is available, be it buying fancy cars, houses or going out drinking, it must be difficult to deal with mentally.
“Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t refuse, but your every move is in the spotlight.
“He has his own demons with mental health and everything that comes with that, but let’s show the man some respect for his achievements and love for Morecambe.
“We should have a statue at prom celebrating him, not putting him down at every opportunity!!!”
Fury will face Usyk again on December 21.
