Tyson Fury has shown off his Muay Thai skills by flooring an instructor with a massive kick.

A video uploaded to Fury‘s social media channels shows the heavyweight watching a Muay Thai session before being beckoned over to let rip on the kicking pad.

The group around him can be heard shouting: “Come on then big boy. You want some? Come here. Let’s go.”

With a wide smile on his face, Fury then walks over and uncorks a monstrous low kick that sends the instructor tumbling to the canvas before he walks off laughing.

Fury shared the clip on social media with the caption: “Just some old-school training.”

While some fans were left amazed by the power of the kick, others were a little more sceptical.

Reacting to the video, one supporter wrote: “The kickee 'fell over' half a second after being kicked lol. There isn't anything genuine about this.”

Another tweeted: “I see his acting hasn't improved, let's hope his boxing has.”

A third added: “Staged. Guy wasn’t in a correct stance to take the force of a roundhouse kick.”

Meanwhile, somebody else posted: “So fake.”

Fury returns to the ring on December 21 when he is set to finally run it back with Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Usyk handed Fury the first defeat of his professional career in May via split decision.

But the Mancunian has been given a second bite at the cherry thanks to a rematch clause in their contract.

If Fury avenges his loss, HE Turki Alalshikh insists he will make the long-awaited all-British showdown with Anthony Joshua next provided AJ also beats Daniel Dubois on September 21.

Meanwhile, the Saudi boxing chief claims it could still happen down the line if Fury looks impressive in defeat.

Several attempts have been made to get the fight over the line in the past, however, nothing has come to fruition just yet.

But as we have seen over the last 12 months, whatever HE Alalshikh wants, he usually gets.

“For the business, of course, it will be a huge fight if Joshua wins [against Daniel Dubois],” he told talkSPORT’s White and Jordan show earlier this month.

“His third time [winning] a world title and [after] the result of Usyk vs Fury it will be a huge fight.

“But you don’t know about the future. Imagine Tyson after the fight with Usyk wants to retire.

“I will give him the offer, but if he refuses, what can I do?

“First of all, Dubois has a very big chance and it is not easy.

“I think it is a difficult fight for Joshua and a dangerous fight for Joshua.

“If Usyk wins, still I want to see Fury vs Joshua if they accept.

“I will not try to do the third fight [between Usyk and Joshua] before having Fury vs Joshua.”
