TYSON Fury flaunted his fat belly to old foe Dereck Chisora and then admitted: “I’m fat as a pig, hairy as an animal but still hungry as a lion.”

Fury, 29, turned up at the weigh-in ahead of Chisora’s fight on Saturday with Agit Kabeayel in Monaco.

The self-called Gypsy King joked about his excess flab with Chisora, who has been twice in the past.
It was former world heavyweight champion Fury’s first public appearance since announcing his intention to come out of retirement and fight Anthony Joshua.
He promised to lose the weight and get in shape to fight the unbeaten Joshua next summer.
Fury told Sky Sports: "I've had two years out of the ring. Fat as a pig, hairy as an animal, but still as hungry as a lion.
"You have two years out of the ring and it gives you that va-va-voom to get back in there and bust a few heads.
"Do I need that many warm-ups? I don't think so. Am I a 40-year-old?
“No, I'm 29. Still got a long time in boxing.

“I'm just so happy and excited to potentially be a part of one of the biggest fights in British boxing history.
"People say, why do you think it's that? I'm saying it because two unbeaten heavyweights, one unified champion, one lineal champion, both over six foot six tall, both over 18 stone.
“One nice guy, one bad man - it is what it is. I think the public are going to relish the thoughts of making this fight happen.”
The undefeated star has been out of action since dethroning Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf two years ago - when he weighed 17st 8lbs.
Back in March he admitted his weight had ballooned to an amazing 25 stone after piling on the pounds.
On Wednesday he tweeted a photo of himself in his prime, vowing to get back in shape in 2018.
Fury is still under a doping ban, and cannot return until a UK Anti-Doping hearing takes place.
The British Boxing Board of Control have urged Fury’s legal team to propose a date before his UK Anti-Doping hearing can resume.

Fury is hoping his legal team can clear the way, so he can potentially fight Joshua next year.
Fury said: "I think next summer is ideal and realistic. I'm not going to do it in February or March, because obviously I'm not in shape.

'BIGGEST IN BRITISH FOOTBALL HISTORY' Premier League tax investigation sees over half of 20 clubs probed over deals worth hundreds of millions

MORE than half of the 20 Premier League clubs are at the centre of a tax probe dubbed the “biggest in British football history”.
Newcastle and West Ham were raided by HMRC in April, with Chelsea also in the Revenue’s sights.

But we can reveal tax inspectors have since demanded FA transfer records linked to up to TEN more top-flight clubs.
No warrants were sought or issued, with FA chiefs keen to be seen to co-operate.
Sources last night described the scale and pace of the inquiry as “frightening”.
It is thought to centre on transfers totalling hundreds of millions.
Several involve deals for French stars, including Spurs’ ex-Newcastle ace Moussa Sissoko and ex-Chelsea striker Demba Ba.
Other transfers that have been probed include Toon signings Davide Santon, Sylvain Marveaux and Papiss Cisse.

HMRC fears some agents, clubs and players may have conspired to dodge millions in tax by hiding money from them during deals.
The inquiry, codenamed Operation Loom, is running alongside a separate investigation into players’ image rights deals. And it means some of football’s biggest names could soon be facing an early morning knock at the door.
Mark Taylor, a former top HMRC investigator, told The Sun: “When I was at the Revenue I worked on the investigation into Swindon Town in the 1990s.

HYDE UNITED'S plastic pitch was set on FIRE tonight after a flare was thrown from the home end.

The non-league side were all set to take on League One outfit MK Dons in the FA Cup when, before the game, the pyrotechnic was launched onto the artificial surface.

It ended up delaying kick-off for the first round tie by 15 minutes at Ewen Fields, and it ended with huge holes being left in the pitch.
Hyde, who are set to pocket around £150,000 from the game, could well end up shelling out some of that in fines for the actions of the fan or fans.
That's not to mention the cost of replacing the pitch.
It was undoubtedly Hyde's biggest game for 17 years. Back in 1994 they played in the first round of the famous old competition when they were beaten 3-1 at home to Darlington.
 The home crowd were understandably excited, but bringing flares into the crowd could well see further action taken from the FA

And after the pitch-melting drama tonight, the evening got even worse for Darren Kelly's non-leaguers as they were thumped 4-0 by MK Dons.
Once the action got under way the League One outfit showed their class as Aidan Nesbitt opened up with a fine curling strike in the 14th minute.

The visitors pushed for a second before the break and duly got it when Chuks Aneke sent an inch-perfect free-kick into the top corner.
The second half followed much the same suit for the Northern Premier League Division One North side, playing in the eighth tier of football, featuring at this stage for the first time in 23 years.

Ethan Ebanks-Landell made it three with 22 minutes to play, duly obliging with the demand for professionalism from manager Robbie Neilson pre-match.
And Ed Upson wrapped up the tie, firing in from scintillating work from Aneke in an emphatic performance.
 In the end MK Dons proved too strong for non-league Hyde United and won 4-0
