    The Gypsy King, 34, has just launched a new range of talking rubbish bins mocked up as his face to tackle “t***ers” around the country.
    He recently launched the doppelganger bin locally by attaching it to a lamppost.
    However, it was also hooked up to a microphone and he would call out litterers and jump-scare shoppers as he watched on from a studio nearby before emerging to thank them or deliver a telling-off if they failed to pick up their rubbish.
    Fury blasted one litter lout, saying: “So if you don’t put it in the bin, someone like me has got to pick it up.

    “If we all muck in if we live in this country, and keep it tidy and don’t chuck s*** on the floor, it will be a better place, won’t it?”
    He then demanded “50 press-ups” from the shocked man.
    The bins are being used to promote Fury’s energy drink brand Furocity Energy’s expansion into the chewing gum market.
    They will bellow out some of his most famous phrases to passers-by, such as “don’t be a d***er, put your gum in the bin”, which are recorded by the unbeaten star himself.

    Fury launched the company just over a year ago and insists his new chewing gum will be just as successful as his drinks.
    He says: “I’ve already changed the energy drink game and I’m going to do the same with energy gum and destroy the competition.
    “But people just need to stop being dossers and spitting their gum on the ground, you can’t walk anywhere without passing some on the street. That’s why my head was there for them to lob it in instead.”
    Meanwhile, Fury has revealed who brother Tommy should pick for his next two fights.
    The champ has just returned from Saudi Arabia to watch Tommy emerge victorious from his bout with Jake Paul after the judges found in his favour in a split decision.
    Despite Tommy previously claiming he would move on to fight “proper boxers” after the Paul fight, WBC champ Tyson has encouraged his brother to carry on fighting social media stars for the time being.
    Speaking after the fight, Fury said: “He did a fantastic job. The world media, the world’s biggest stars, [all] came to see it. It was fantastic.
    “I expected Tommy to knock him out, to be quite honestly quite comfortably, but Jake was better than I thought he’d be, so fair play to Jake Paul.
    “I’m very happy. You can’t get knockouts all the time.
    “I’m 33 and 0 with 22 knockouts. So, you don’t get a knockout every time, but it’s a learning experience.

    “Jake Paul was a very worthy opponent and he had to come through some obstacles like falling over in round eight and getting up and fighting on.
    “Nah, he’ll (Tommy) be headlining now forever. I’d like to see him fight a rematch with Jake Paul and fight Logan, his brother.” More

    The 23-year-old, the brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, boxed a perfect fight to earn a split decision victory in the Diriyah dust-up.
    Despite outclassing Paul, Fury agreed to have a rematch with the American – who had a clause placed in his contract for a second bout if he came up short.
    And he’s confident he’ll go one better the next time they share the ring.
    During an appearance on Good Morning Britain, he said: “The rematch is something that I’m definitely wanting because I believe in the rematch I will stop him.

    During the latest instalment of his BS with Jake Paul podcast, he said: “I was sick for four weeks of this nine-week camp.
    “Jet lagged for another week. What’s p***ing me off is that it had nothing to do with him.
    “He wasn’t that great at all. I think Anderson Silva was tougher than him.” More

    “I could have probably done a better job and Tommy definitely out-boxed him.”
    Paul, however, will rake in money from from pay-per-view earnings and insists a re-match has already been agreed.

    Despite scoring a knockdown in the eighth and final round, Paul didn’t do enough to win on two out of three of the judges scorecards.
    Paul claims he scooped up just over £24million for the fight.
    The Problem Child is said to have a rematch clause – but Matchroom Boxing chief Hearn says Paul should fight KSI instead while taking a subtle swipe.
    Speaking on DAZN, Hearn said: “The rematch, I know people will watch it, but we’ve seen what they are, not very good…

    “Fight KSI, it’s absolutely massive.
    “Because the reality is any time you fight anyone with any ability, you will get beat.”
    Hearn continued: “I do respect Jake Paul and I respect him even more after last night.
    “I mean look, he can’t fight, he’s never gonna be a world champion…

    “What you had was two not very good fighters who were quite evenly matched.”
    Hearn is no stranger to YouTube/influencer boxing having helped promote KSI and Logan Paul’s second fight.
    Unlike Paul, KSI is yet to be beaten having competed in six fights.
    The Brit’s last win came via knockout in January against Thomas Oliveira.
    Former WBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder, believes Paul did enough to beat Fury.
    The former heavyweight champion, who came face-to-face with Tyson Fury – the man who dethroned him – while in the Middle East, told Fight Hub TV: “I think Jake got that one.
    “It was an immature point. The referee is supposed to give him at least three warnings. He gave him no warnings.”
    Asked again if Paul should have won, he replied: “I think so. With the knockdown, he sealed it. He got that point taken away.
    “I think Jake Paul needed that knockdown, and when he did, it evened it out. I think he only gave it to Fury because of the point taken.” More
