Heavyweight boxing world champion Tyson Fury has splurged on a lavish coat with his new-found fortune.
The controversial British boxer, who defeated former WBO, IBF and WBA champion Wladimir Klitschko in Germany last November, was pictured heading out to lunch in Manchester in a bold furry coat that is believed to made from chinchilla fur.
The 27-year-old, who was estimated to have banked around $8.8 million from his shock title win, wrapped up in the head-turning garment as exited the San Carlo Cicchetti Italian restaurant. He also warded off the freezing temperatures with a knitted beanie hat by luxury French designer, Louis Vuitton.
On his website the US designer is pictured alongside the Sports Personality Of The Year nominee in the garment, accompanied by the caption: ‘Tyson Fury wearing a Chinchilla Fur Stroller to celebrate his big win in Madison Square Garden.’
Marc Kaufman coats are popular with stars of the boxing world with Floyd Mayweather and Kendall Holt also donning the designs.
Fury, the father-of-two, who refers to himself as the ‘Gypsy King’, is likely to outrage animal rights campaigners with his choice of outfit, after previously offending numerous people with his views on homosexuality, women and abortion at the end of last year.
Fury and Klitschko are set for a rematch this year.
