Edinburgh locals spot Tyson Fury as boxer parties and takes in tour of capital

Boxer Tyson Fury was spotted out and about in Edinburgh on Wednesday afternoon.

The WBC Heavyweight title holder was seen on Princes Street, and chatted to Edinburgh Bus Tour ticket sellers. He was also seen grabbing an ice cream in Morningside, as well as enjoying a drink in one of George Street's trendy bars.

This comes after he made a cryptic announcement on Instagram, teasing who his next opponent would be.

Posting to Twitter, Edinburgh Bus Tours added: "You never know who our ticket sellers will bump into while out about in the city centre. Thank you Tyson Fury for the blether!"

Another eagle-eyed Edinburgh resident spotted Fury in an unexpected location, tweeting: "Just seen Tyson Fury come out of Lucas ice cream in Morningside, weird Wednesday like."

Fury was also seen with Edinburgh hardman Robert Kelbie, on Robert's Instagram, enjoying a drink in Tigerlily.

The boxer was last in the ring against Derek Chisora in December, and despite talks has failed to find another opponent. He posted a teaser that a 'big announcement' is coming, suggesting he could be on the verge of announcing his next fight.

Posting to Instagram, he said: "“The WBC Boxing Heavyweight king, can't wait till my next fight.

"I’ve been training daily from Christmas trying to get a fight. Tried many fighters and have had no luck but that wont keep me down."

“I'm blessed every day I wake up! I know God loves me! Everything will workout the way it should as it always does. Can’t wait for you all to see what I’ve got coming for you guys, it’s show-stopping.”
