TYSON FURY has laughed off concerns over his boozy session and tumble.
The 35-year-old got over his May 18 undisputed defeat to Ukraine genius Oleksandr Usyk with a good swig at his local Nowhere bar in Morecambe.

And, when it was time to leave, the former WBC heavyweight champ lost his balance and hit the deck – much like in the ninth round in Saudi against Ukraine’s 37-year-old superstar.
Fans well aware of his past battles with addiction and mental health problems were quick to share their worries on social media.
But the 6ft 9in Gypsy King has assured his people that he suffered from nothing more than a brief and hard-earned hangover.
“I have just been taking life very simply,” he told his Furocity drinks brand about his recovery.
“I got p***ed-up about two weeks ago and fell over on my face, didn’t do any damage though, as you can see I’m still good looking!
“Apart from that I have lots of messages and phone calls from people asking me if I am OK.
“I just had a drunken night out and suddenly everyone thinks you’re going to jump in front of a train.
“Maybe, because of my past history, people are concerned.”

Despite having earned around £300million from his boxing career alone – without the Netflix shows, book deals and property portfolio too add – Fury prefers a very working-class life away from the glitz and glamour of heavyweight world title boxing.
And his rest and recovery time – before returning to camp for the December 21 rematch – has been a prime example of his humble roots still holding him in good stead.
Fury said: “I’ve just been chilling out, really.
“I have probably been training five times a week.
“I went caravanning with the kids, three days in one place and three days in another.
“I have just been spending time with my dad, my brothers, my wife and my kids.
“I thought it was my time but it was not God’s plan for me to win, otherwise I would have got the decision.
“But it hasn’t affected me in any way, I lost a split decision.
“I would have been doing the same s***, anyway, undisputed champion or not.
“I would still be picking up dog s***, dropping the kids to school, running and having the odd beer until I fall over, I don’t really do much else.”

You’re Not Alone
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide
It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You’re Not Alone.
