Tyson Fury’s forgotten punchline during a stand-up comedy routine for Sport Relief in 2012 has people laughing in disbelief, even to this day. Watch below:
Fury, who recently joked that masturbating seven times a day was helping him prepare for his fight against Dillian Whyte next month (Saturday, 23 April), has always taken a chance with his jokes.

So much so that his 2012 appearance on a comedy show for BBC's Sport Relief has since been removed from its archives.
His stand-up routine started with: "Hello everybody, my name's Tyson Fury, or as the doctors called me when I was born, 'I'll get this woman another epidural'."
It was then followed by: "You know, I was a big lad then, i'm even bigger now, and my wife is probably the only woman in the world who has home epidural kits.

"Do you know what, at first I was a bit nervous about doing this because it's been a while since anybody's laughed in my face.
"You know, I heard they asked Audley Harrison to come on the show tonight, but he refused. He said, 'Me, stand up for three minutes? You must be joking'."
Since the footage resurfaced, social media users have been flooding to comment.
One user wrote: "Forgot this was a thing," while another added: "A-Hahahahaha!!! How have I never seen this before @BridgeOlive !!! LOL-ers!!"

A third simply commented: "Legend," while someone else wrote: "What a man."
Well, now, the heavyweight champion has been speaking ahead of next month's upcoming title defence against Dillian Whyte, which will be taking place at Wembley Stadium.
The Gypsy King semi-jokingly believes that masturbation gives him the required power in his hands to knock out his opponent by 'loading up on testosterone'.
"I put most of my success down to masturbation seven times a day," Fury told The Pat McAfee Show.
"Got to keep that blood pumping baby; the only thing I have been loading is testosterone from all the w***ing over the years. Right hands and left hands depending on what I feel like."

This isn't the first time Fury has claimed that masturbating has helped him at his craft.
Prior to his second meeting with Deontay Wilder in 2020, he echoed pretty similar thoughts.
"I'm doing a lot of things I didn't before. I'm eating five or six meals a day, drinking eight litres of water," he said.
"If it's gonna give me an edge, I'm willing to try it. I'm masturbating seven times a day, keep my testosterone pumping."
