Tyson Fury leaps to Julius Francis defence after Mike Tyson rival knocked out rowdy man

Tyson Fury thinks Mike Tyson 's former rival, Julius Francis, taught a rowdy customer a valuable "life lesson" by knocking him out last weekend.

Francis - who once shared the ring with Tyson over 20 years ago and is now a security guard - was filmed having an argument with a heckling customer at Boxpark in Wembley. The former British champion hit the man with a right hand that instantly knocked him out.

Boxpark's founder, Roger Wade, backed his colleague in the incident, labelling him one of the "nicest people" he's ever met. WBC heavyweight champion Fury is the latest person to come to Francis' defence, stating he has no sympathy for the angry customer.
