Fury forks out £557 on food delivery while in lockdown with family
Tyson Fury staged a heavyweight Easter lockdown with his family by ordering in a gut-busting £557 food delivery.
Their mammoth feast was shared with the couple’s five children and Paris’s parents at the boxing star’s home near Morecambe, Lancs.
Grinning WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, 31, told the face-masked delivery driver to stand two metres back as he stacked pizza boxes and food bags on the doorstep before handing him a £100 tip.
The Saturday night takeaway, which was ferried in heated bags, included a stack of pizzas, four mixed grill platters, four chicken wing platters, two steak meals and five king prawn dishes.
Chefs also prepared a portion of 6ft 9in Tyson’s new favourite dish of Parmo, a Middlesbrough concoction of breaded chicken and béchamel sauce fried with cheese.
The boxer, who is known for his yo-yoing weight between bouts, kept one eye on the calories by adding 25 cans of Diet Coke.
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.”
Paris, 30, helped haul in the mega meal and insisted no one else had joined the family, which could have breached strict lockdown rules.
She said from the family’s home: “The food order was just for us and the children.
“We have got five children and the food arrived in a lot of boxes.”
The expanding Fury brood — sons Prince John James, eight, Prince Tyson Fury II, three, Prince Adonis Amaziah, one, and daughters Venezuela, ten, and two-year-old Valencia Amber — were given another Easter treat.
Paris posted an Instagram picture of a dining table decked with dozens of chocolate Easter eggs.
She captioned the snap: “Happy Easter everyone. My babies have already started on their eggs.
“I asked them, ‘Why do we celebrate Easter?’ They said, ‘Jesus’ birthday?’ Well, close enough.”
