His families’ reality show, At Home With The Furys, has hit the top spot on Netflix.
And following the series’ success, it seems Tyson Fury is more popular than ever as he was mobbed by fans outside Jimmy Egan’s Boxing Academy in Wythenshawe, Manchester on Tuesday afternoon.
The World Heavyweight boxing champion, 35, has long been associated and kept close links with the amateur boxing gym where he trained as a teenager after growing up in the local area.
Tyson was pictured taking time out from the day to meet with fans outside the gym, where he was reportedly filming an unknown project.
Fans will be hoping Tyson was filming for a new series of his hit Netflix show, however he may also have been shooting promo for his upcoming fight against UFC star Francis Ngannou in October.

Man of the people! Tyson was pictured taking time out from the day to meet with fans outside the gym, where he was reportedly filming an unknown project
Also pictured outside the gym was Tyson’s £300,000 Rolls Royce Cullinan, which was parked as close to the venue as possible on the grass verge.
However Tyson humbly admitted during one episode on the show that he prefers to drive around in his old Volkswagen Passat so not to draw attention to himself.
The boxer was sporting a vest which was covered in his Gypsy King branding, with a pair of shorts and boots.
The show, which debuted earlier this month, follows Tyson as he exits the ring and tries to embrace retirement with his family.
Tyson recently revealed his family may have to move out of their £1.7million Morecambe mansion following the release of their new programme.
He opened up about the increased publicity following the show’s release, confessing that he and his family may have to relocate from their lavish £1.7m home.
He predicted there will be ‘repercussions’ from the show as he told how people used to turn up at their family home after the release of his 2020 documentary Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King.
He told OK! Magazine: ‘I think we’ll probably have to move again like we had to after the ITV documentary a few years ago.

‘Loads of people kept turning up to the house and ringing the door at 4am. What people don’t understand is, that being famous it’s not a pleasurable thing to be absolutely honest.’
Tyson and Paris live in their lavish home with their sons Prince John James, ten, Prince Tyson Fury II, six, and Prince Adonis Amaziah, four, and daughters Venezuela, 13, Valencia Amber, five, and Athena, two. Paris is currently pregnant with their seventh child.
When asked about a second series of the smash hit reality show, Tyson appeared uncertain as he cryptically said he would have to see judge the reaction to the first.
However, his wife Paris insisted they were ‘nearly there’ with talks for a second series of At Home With The Furys, which proved a huge hit with viewers after its release on August 16.
She teased: ‘We’ve had conversations with the buzz that has come from the first one and Netflix fancy a number two, so we’re talking and we’re nearly there.’
It comes after Tyson told how at one point during filming for the first series, he said he wanted to cancel the nine-part show.
He told how shooting the series was not plain-sailing and that early on he ‘wanted out’, even calling his lawyers for help to cancel his contract.
On Capital XTRA Breakfast, Tyson sheepishly confessed: ‘Yeah I wanted out. I was like, couple of weeks in I said ‘Is there any way?’
‘I’d be on the phone with my lawyers, ‘Is there any way I can get out of this? I don’t know what I’ve signed up for again. I said I’d never do it again, I’ve done it again, I’ve made a mistake’.
‘That’s just my bipolar going up and down all the time – one minute I’m happy, the next minute I’m not and it’s very evident to see my emotional roller-coaster throughout this episode.’

Earlier this month, it was reported that Netflix had renewed At Home With The Furys before the first instalment even aired on August 16.
However, it was then claimed that Tyson turned down millions of pounds by rejecting the chance to film two more seasons of the hit Netflix show.
A TV insider told MailOnline that the intrusive nature of the show and the fact that cameras followed Tyson, his wife Paris and their six children 24/7 took its toll on the sportsman, who has since admitted he wanted to stop filming the debut Netflix series on several occasions.
Despite Tyson’s stance, Netflix are still keen to work with the family namely his wife Paris, who is a natural on camera and has been praised by viewers for supporting Tyson, who suffers from various mental health disorders including bipolar and ADHD but could face competition from other TV networks.
MailOnline can also reveal that At Home with the Furys, which is currently the No1 show on Netflix and features Tyson’s brother Tommy and his fiancée Molly-Mae Hague, was originally due to feature 10 episodes but was cut short to nine.
