Tyson Fury Spends £557 On Takeaway Delivery For Family In Lockdown

Tyson Fury enjoyed a meal fit for a Gypsy King on Saturday night, spending £557 ($695) on a takeaway.

The heavyweight champion splashed out on an Easter banquet for his wife Paris and his five kids, with the order including a stack of pizzas, four mixed grill platters, four chicken wing platters, two steak meals and five king prawn dishes.

Keen to adhere to social distancing measures, Fury instructed the delivery driver to keep two metres back and leave the food on the step of his Morecambe home. The delivery driver unsurprisingly obliged, receiving a ludicrously generous £100 ($124.80) tip in return.

An onlooker told The Sun: "Tyson loves his grub and has a big family and he can certainly afford it.

"He said, as the food arrived, 'We've got nothing else to spend our money on during lockdown'.

"Tyson was in good spirits but ordered the delivery driver to stand two metres back and leave the food on the step. Unsurprisingly, the driver did as he was told and was given a tip of two £50 notes."

One things for certain - the Furys ate well this Easter weekend.

On Instagram, Paris shared a video of her children making a start on a huge mountain of Easter eggs and yesterday (12 April) she said she had put meat in the oven ahead of a late roast dinner - so clearly that massive Saturday night takeaway didn't keep stomachs full for too long.
