Fury, 35, was left with a nasty-looking shiner on under his left eye after his below-par display in the Riyadh Rumble.
But the bаttle scar has gotten worse in the days since he and his wife Paris left The Kingdom.
Fury showed off his wаr wоund on Friday afternoon as he and Paris stepped out in Morecambe.
The childhood sweethearts stepped out in style, taking their jet-black Rolls Royces for a spin.Fury’s display against former UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou has taken some of the lustre of his historic undisputed title figҺt with Oleksandr Usyk.
The Gypsy King was set to perform a quick turnaround to face the undefeated Ukrainian on December 23.
But their long overdue showdown has been pushed back to February.
Co-promoter Frank Warren told The Guardian: “The figҺt will happen before 2 March and it will be for the undisputed title and all four belts.“The IBF have given consent for that now and it’s all done.
“The figҺt is on. Everybody’s agreed, and it will be announced fairly soon.”
Queensberry Promotions chief Warren added: “It’s not just the bruising, it’s also the fact he was in a 12-week camp and he’s got a new baby.
“It was a tough figҺt to win so he needs to go home and take a couple of weeks off. And then you’ve only got six weeks to train.
“If the figҺt against Ngannou had ended early, 23 December would have been a very reliable date.
“But when Tyson said he was still ready to figҺt Usyk, I said: ‘You’re not.’”
