Tyson Fury has been filmed kicking out at a taxi in the south of France after being refused a lift.
Fury has been holidaying with his family, including dad John and wife Paris, and has repeatedly taken to social media to show off his luxury lifestyle aboard an expensive yacht. But a video posted online shows the heavyweight world champion getting into an altercation after trying to hail a cab.
Fury is seen being led to a taxi by his dad and his entourage before the fighter tries unsuccessfully to open the back door. Two men then speak to the driver through both front windows before he begins to drive off with his passenger door still open. Fury then kicks out at the back of the Renault as the video, filmed by a passer-by, ends.
Fury has been enjoying his downtime since announcing his retirement following his win over Dillian Whyte last month. The 33-year-old insists he will not return to the ring, even for an undisputed clash with Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk with the heavyweight rivals due to meet for a second time on July 23.
Fury will be given time to make a final decision by the WBC whose belt he has held since his rematch victory over Deontay Wilder in 2020. President Mauricio Sulaiman insists he will not rush his champion with no mandatory defence due for 12 months.
"Tyson Fury confirmed how great he is inside the ring and outside the ring, he is also a hero," he told Planet Sport. "We’re going to give him the time he needs to reflect, to relax, he just did the mandatory of the division.

"There’s no hurry to pressure him or his team into making any decisions. We will be in communications, he’s having holiday with his family. I’m not saying we will get him three months, there’s no time limit right now, I’m respecting the level of Tyson Fury, his private time with his family, but we will talk in the near future certainly.
"We need to address the situation if he is retiring but at this time, we are just giving him the much deserved time to enjoy his holidays."
