Tyson Fury plans to visit a petrol station and buy a sandwich on his way home if he beats Derek Chisora on Saturday night.
The 'Gypsy King' will make a voluntary defence of his WBC heavyweight title when he takes on former two-time rival Chisora at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Fury already holds two victories over 'WAR' Chisora, which came in 2011 and 2014, with the latter stopped before the final bell.
Fury has been known for celebrating his previous victories in partying fashion, including in Las Vegas after he defeated Deontay Wilder last year. However, he intends to keep things low-key if he picks up another win over Chisora - by making the four-hour journey home to Morecambe after the event has finished.
"I mean, I'll get in there do what I have got to do get the victory and then go home," Fury said during an interview with Queensberry Promotions ahead of the fight. "It is four hours and fifteen minutes back to Morecambe Bay tomorrow night. F*** it straight after the fight. Do my press conferences, do my drug test and press conference.
"I will get in the car and get straight home. I will pull up a petrol station and get a chicken and stuffing sandwich to eat on the way home. Get ready for a war." Fury has previously celebrated wins over his opponents with after-parties in nightclubs and bars with his team.
The 'Gypsy King' will go into the contest with Chisora as the overwhelming favourite given his undefeated record, and it could lead to even bigger fights in 2023. It will be Fury's first fight since reversing his plans to retire following his knockout win over Dillian Whyte in April at Wembley Stadium.

And should he follow his petrol-station celebration plan, it will be considerably different to his night after beating Whyte, where he cracked open a beer on a park bench at 7am with trainer Sugar Hill Steward. "There was no party that night," Fury wrote in his latest autobiography, Gloves Off.
"I ordered a delivery pizza that never showed and went to bed, hungry but satisfied, and when I woke the following morning and looked from my window I saw a lone figure sitting on a bench in the hotel garden. Was he drinking from a bottle of whisky? I checked my watch. It was 7am. Bit early, I thought. Then when I looked again, I realised the bloke on the bench was SugarHill.
"SugarHill turned and waved the bottle at me. ‘I’m celebrating,’ he said. ‘We didn’t do it last night, so I’ve started this morning.’ ‘Right. Hold tight, pal. I’m coming down.’ I took a couple of beers from the mini bar and joined SugarHill for a weird moment of reflection on that hotel garden bench."
