Tyson Fury took his top off while tucking into Chicken Milanese at a restaurant in Newcastle.
The two-time world heavyweight ordered the Italian dish during a visit to Babucho on Friday lunch time. Earlier that morning, he surprised buskers Jenna Cole, 20, and Olivia Irvin, 22, who are known as Jen & Liv, by stopping to listen to their music.
The Gypsy King visited JD sports on Northumberland Street before stopping near Monument to listen to the their versions of Bob Marley's songs 'Is This Love' and 'Could You Be Loved'. He was filmed dancing in the street and posing for pictures with fans.

Later that day, the professional boxer dined with a large group on the terrace of Babucho on Dean Street. General manager Metin Cakir told Chronicle Live how Tyson took his top off while he sat outside, which is usually against their dress code.
He said: "He said he was looking for a table with all his team. There was about seven or eight of them. We sat him outside and he was there about an hour and a half. He ordered Chicken Milanese. He really liked it, when he finished he said it was lovely.
"He took his shirt off because it's like a sun trap. Normally I would go and tell someone 'can you put your shirt on' but I couldn't say that to him - to a champion!
"Everyone was quite shocked but happy to see him. I said 'Tyson Fury is here' and they said 'you're joking'. Everyone was over the moon. He's a nice guy, it was a pleasure to serve him.
"I saw that he had gone to Monument as well - he had a good day in Newcastle by the looks of it!"
Once he had finished his meal, Metin and the rest of the staff at Babucho had their picture taken with him outside of the restaurant. In the image, which they have posted on social media, he is still not wearing his t-shirt.
Tyson, 33, has visited the North East while on his Fury Fest - The Official After Party Tour. He appeared at The Fed in Gateshead on Thursday evening.
