TYSON FURY was unexpectedly chinned by a member of the public during what was supposed to be a light-hearted sparring session.
The WBC heavyweight champion is currently enjoying a luxury holiday in Thailand – where he visited underprivileged kids at a Bangkok orphanage.
Fury and his team have since travelled to the island of Phuket and visited the Bangtao Muay Thai and MMA gym for a meet and greet with fans.
The Gypsy King made their day by taking part in some light sparring for a whopping 15 rounds.
But one of the over-excited attendees accidentally clocked the burly Brit on the chin with a stray right hand.
The bloke immediately apologised for landing the punch, which Fury took well and immediately brushed off.

Boxing fans were quick to comment on the hilarious clip, with one saying: “The champ got chin checked in sparring — oops!!”
Another said: “The banter.”
And another said: “Floats like a middleweight tho [sic]!”

One remarked: “Even tho [sic] he milked it to look like it’s nothin, u can tell he wasn’t happy.”
Another chimed in: ” There was a split second there, just a split second, before he starting joking that he was that, that Fury was p****d.
“He definitely contemplated a solid jab for a moment.”
One even said: “More than Chisora landed in 3 fights.”
Fury hasn’t set foot inside the ring his one-sided Tottenham trilogy with Derek Chisora last December.
The former unified heavyweight champion was due to face Oleksandr Usyk in a historic undisputed fight in the spring but their multi-million-pound showdown fell through.
Promoter Frank Warren, however, is adamant he will be back in the ring later this year, telling talkSPORT: “He is fighting in September.”
When asked who he will fight, the Queensberry Promotions chief said: “I hope we can get the contract signed.
“We have got a couple of options there with one of the guys we are negotiating with, we will announce it in due course.
