Tyson Fury chats with fans at a Manchester boxing academy after rolling up in his £300,000 Rolls Royce
His family’s reality show, At Home With The Furys, ranks #1 on Netflix.
And after the success of the series, it seems Tyson Fury is more popular than ever as he was mobbed by fans outside Jimmy Egan’s Boxing Academy in Wythenshawe, Manchester on Tuesday afternoon.
The 35-year-old world heavyweight boxing champion has been linked for a long time and maintains close ties to the amateur boxing gym where he trained as a teenager after growing up in the area.
Tyson was pictured taking the day off to meet fans outside the gym, where he was reportedly filming an unknown project.
Fans are hoping Tyson was filming for a new series of his hit Netflix show, but he may have also been making promos for his upcoming fight against UFC star Francis Ngannou in October.

Also pictured outside the gym was Tyson’s £300,000 Rolls Royce Cullinan parked on the lawn as close to the venue as possible.
However, Tyson humbly admitted on an episode of the show that he prefers to drive around in his old Volkswagen Passat so as not to draw attention to himself.
The boxer wore a vest covered in his Gypsy King logo, with shorts and boots.
The show, which debuted earlier this month, follows Tyson as he leaves the ring and tries to embrace retirement with his family.
Tyson recently revealed that his family may have to move out of their £1.7million Morecambe mansion following the release of their new programme.
He spoke of the increased publicity following the show’s release and confessed that he and his family may have to move out of their lavish £1.7 million home.
He predicted the show would have “repercussions” when he talked about how people showed up at their childhood homes after the release of his 2020 documentary Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King.
He told OK! magazine: ‘I think we should probably move again like we had to after the ITV documentary a few years ago.

“Lots of people came to the house at four in the morning and rang the doorbell. What people don’t understand is that it’s not nice to be famous to be absolutely honest.’
Tyson and Paris live in their lavish home with their sons Prince John James, ten, Prince Tyson Fury II, six, and Prince Adonis Amaziah, four, and daughters Venezuela, 13, Valencia Amber, five, and Athena, two. Paris is currently pregnant with their seventh child.
When asked about a second series of the hit reality show, Tyson seemed unsure, saying cryptically that he would need to see the reaction to the first.
However, his wife Paris insisted they were “nearly there” with talks for a second series of At Home With The Furys, which proved a huge hit with viewers upon its release on August 16.
She teased, “We’ve had conversations with the buzz that came out of the first one and Netflix is looking forward to number two, so we’re talking and we’re almost there.”
It comes after Tyson shared how at one point during filming for the first series, he said he wanted to cancel the nine-part show.
He said filming the series was not smooth sailing and that he “wanted to get out” early on, even asking his lawyers for help in canceling his contract.
During Capital XTRA Breakfast, Tyson sheepishly confessed, “Yeah, I wanted out. I was like, a few weeks later I said, ‘Is there a way?’
“I was on the phone with my lawyers, ‘Is there any way I can get out of this? I don’t remember what I signed up for. I said I would never do it again, I did it again, I made a mistake’.
“That’s just my bipolar disorder going up and down all the time — one minute I’m happy, the next I’m not, and it’s very obvious to see my emotional rollercoaster during this episode.”

Earlier this month, it was reported that Netflix had renewed At Home With The Furys before the first episode even aired on August 16.
However, it was subsequently alleged that Tyson squandered millions of pounds by turning down the chance to film two more seasons of the hit Netflix show.
A TV insider told MailOnline that the intrusive nature of the show and the fact that cameras followed Tyson, his wife Paris and their six children 24/7 took their toll on the sportsman, who has since admitted he wanted to stop filming the debut Netflix series. on different occasions.
Despite Tyson’s stance, Netflix is still eager to work with the family, namely his wife Paris, who is a natural on camera and has been praised by viewers for supporting Tyson, who suffers from a variety of mental health disorders, including bipolar disorder and ADHD , but could face competition from other TV networks.
MailOnline can also reveal that At Home with the Furys, currently the #1 show on Netflix and starring Tyson’s brother Tommy and his fiancée Molly-Mae Haag, was originally going to be ten episodes, but was shortened to nine.
