Tyson Fury on Island ahead of event at Villa Marina

British boxing star Tyson Fury paid a visit to the Isle of Man Boxing and Fitness Academy yesterday.

The two-time world heavyweight champion, alongside his father John Fury and New Zealand boxer Joseph Parker, stopped by for a work out ahead of an event at the Villa Marina tonight.

The academy says they were working out, taking pictures with members, boxers and even the coaches.

It adds they were 'complete gentlemen' cleaning up afterwards.

'It was electric. I tried to get him to sign up!'

Peter Roberts is the Isle of Man Boxing and Fitness Academy Head Coach:
