Tyson Fury has been snapped back in training after he was ordered to pay nearly £100,000 by a court.
The Gypsy King, as well as his father John and brother Shane, must stump up the amount after a judge ruled they owed unpaid business rates in a row over land used as a car park.
John arrived at Chester Magistrates’ Court to defend Fury, as well as himself and Shane, on Tuesday.
He said his son paid ‘millions of pounds in tax each year’ and assertions Fury had ‘anything to do’ with the land in question were ‘ridiculous’.

However, all three members of the Fury family were ordered to pay the council £82,000 in unpaid rates and £17,000 in court costs.
The boxing star has now been pictured for the first time since.
Thomas Carty shared a snap of himself with Fury in the gym, with the Gypsy King beaming for the camera.
Carty accompanied his post with a caption that read: “Back in camp with the Gypsy King @Tyson_Fury.”
Fury wore a personalised blue vest, as well as matching blue shorts.
He also sported bright green shoes and was clutching a drink in his left hand.
Fury’s mood didn’t appear to be impacted by the court ruling.
And he’s now upping the ante as his blockbuster showdown with Oleksandr Usyk creeps closer.
The two men had been expected to originally fight in Saudi Arabia on December 23.
However, their bout has been delayed to February 17 with Fury needing more time to recover from his recent victory over Francis Ngannou.
While there’s no sign of another delay at present, however, former boxing star Carl Froch still thinks the fight won’t go ahead.
And that’s because he thinks Fury will want to enjoy himself over the Christmas period.
“Listen, Tyson’s got to get through Christmas and New Year, not relax, not have a drink, not overeat,” the 46-year-old said on his YouTube channel.
“It’s going to be a tough one.
“He’s got a wonderful family, his wife and seven children, so he’ll want to relax and have a good time.
“Is he going to want to be training over Christmas and New Year which he’s going to have to do if he’s ready for the February event?
“I’m not sure, I think the fight will be pushed back to March.
“You heard it here first.”
Fury has won 34 of his 35 career fights so far.
A huge 24 of them have come via knockout, though he only beat Ngannou by split decision at the end of October.
