TYSON FURY admits his first-ever fight didn’t go exactly to plan.
That’s because he was wearing a pair of Donald Duck trackies that fell down whenever he threw a punch.
Fury, 34, is the king of the boxing world after soaring to his 33rd professional win against Derek Chisora this month.
The unbeaten bruiser is now on the hunt for a new opponent.
And Fury dreams of unifying the heavyweight division in a battle against Oleksandr Usyk before also settling old scores with Anthony Joshua.
But Fury’s path to boxing glory had humble beginnings.

The Gypsy King hilariously revealed to IFLTV that his first came when he was just a nine-year-old kid.
Despite only being a little lad, Fury found himself having a dust-up with his neighbour in the front garden.
And he found it difficult to keep up with his opponent after wearing an oversized pair of tracksuit bottoms.
Indeed, the Donald Duck-themed trousers kept falling down every time Fury tried to punch his nemesis.

But the Gypsy King remembers his first scrap fondly.
He said: “I remember a fight with my neighbour, I was nine.
“We went round and had a little dust-up on the front lawn for no reason.
“I had a pair of Donald Duck tracksuit bottoms and they kept falling down every time I tried to throw punches.”
Fury has his sights set higher these days as he looks to finally get a date with Usyk.
But Irish boxing legend Barry McGuigan reckons Fury could be in serious trouble against his Ukrainian opponent, saying: “Fury relies on his size and intimidation.
“But Usyk does not scare easily. The way he stared down Fury at the Chisora fight told us that.
“Usyk was too good for Joshua, who improved considerably in the second fight.
“Joshua is a decent attacking fighter too, better than Fury on the front foot.
“Fury is essentially a boxer-fighter. He rarely comes forward until he has to. Speed is the issue.

“Usyk is not only a southpaw who moves brilliantly and takes a shot, he has epic speed.
“I think this is a much tougher fight for Fury than he thinks it is. And, like Joshua, he could be in for a rude awakening.”
