Tyson Fury’s next big fight is against the tax man – after the champ & his dad John are accused of dodging massive bill


BOXER Tyson Fury faces a new fight — over an £82,000 council tax bill.

Cheshire East Council claims the heavyweight champ, 35, his dad John, 59, and brother Shane, 32, owe the sum for property adjoining their £1million mansion in Styal.

Magistrates are today set to issue a legal order demanding they pay up.

If the three still fail to cough up, they could face “enforcement action” — meaning an unlucky bailiff could have the unenviable task of reclaiming assets from the boxing family.

Married dad-of-seven Tyson dubbed The Gypsy King, is 6ft 9in.

John is a 6ft 3in ex-pro boxer and bare-knuckle fighter, who once went to jail for gouging a man’s eye out.

Shane is a former superheavyweight amateur boxer.

Tyson also has other boxing brothers, including Love Island star Tommy, 24.

The council tax demand relates to land used for caravans and motorhomes adjoining the family’s £1million mansion in Styal, Cheshire.

Court documents claim the Furys — jointly worth more than £134million — have failed to cough up £82,166.85 to Cheshire East Council.

Land Registry papers show Tyson, Shane and John as the owners of the home and the land.

John lives at the gated property, while Tyson is in Morecambe, Lancs.

Barrister Sarah Robson, a fixed costs specialist at Alpha Court Chambers, said: “Often, the first time people realise a liability order has been granted is when bailiffs are sent round.

“Cases are often sent to magistrates in batches of hundreds and sometimes thousands, and they are rubber stamped without real scrutiny.”

It is not thought that the Furys will attend court today. Tyson’s representative declined to comment.
