Watch Fury struggle to find his clothes after returning to his dressing room wearing nothing but pants and a cap
TYSON FURY struggled to find his clothes following his battling win against Otto Wallin in Las Vegas on Saturday – and then posed for fans wearing only his pants and hat.
Fury, whose performance was slammed by his own father who said it was the worst performance of the 31-year-old’s career, suffered a serious cut above his right eye in the third round during the bout.
But he went on to grind out a points win, which the judges scored 116-112, 117-111, 118-110.
The fighter’s father, John, was furious with Fury’s backroom staff after the bout, saying that he was unprepared and that he was too light for the fight after weighing in at 254.4 lbs (18 stone 1 pound).
He had recently returned from an eight-week training vamp to prepare to face Wallin, and his father’s criticisms proved to have been unfounded.
As The Gypsy King made his way back into the dressing room, he was given a hero’s welcome by his backroom team as they appraised the severity of his cut.
Acknowledging the reception, Fury said: “That’s a nice cut isn’t it?”.
Questioned about how he sustained the cut, he said: “It was the inside of the glove and then a headbutt, a double cut…now where’s me clothes, let’s get this eye stitched up.”

He then went to hospital to have treatment, but fans will be desperate that it doesn’t endanger Fury’s rematch against Deontay Wilder, which is currently scheduled for February.
The pair fought a 12-round draw back in December of last year and recently revealed they have already agreed terms for a second bout early next year.
Before that, Wilder must overcome his upcoming fight with Luis Ortiz, which is due to take place in November.
