Seconds out… it’s The Gypsy King v The Tax Man! Boxer Tyson Fury and his father are accused of dodging huge £82,000 council tax bill over caravans and motorhomes on land next to their £1m mansion
Tyson Fury and his father have been accused of dodging a huge £82,000 council tax bill over land which is being used to house caravans and motorhomes.
The heavyweight boxer, 35, dubbed The Gypsy King, his father John, 59, and his brother Shane, 32, allegedly owe a huge sum for allowing the vehicles to park up on land next to their £1million mansion in Styal, Cheshire.
Magistrates are reportedly set to issue a legal order to force the family to pay the £82,166.85 bill to Cheshire East Council, according to The Sun.
The three men supposedly own the mansion, which is inhabited by John, and the land adjacent to it, according to Land Registry papers seen by The Sun, and therefore bear responsibility for paying the bill.
If the Furys fail to cough up the funds, they will face a visit from the bailiff, who will be sent to reclaim the family’s assets from their home.

The Sun reported on Monday that it is ‘not thought that the Furys will attend court today’.
Barrister Sarah Robson, a fixed costs specialist at Alpha Court Chambers, told newspaper: ‘Often, the first time people realise a liability order has been granted is when bailiffs are sent round.
‘Cases are often sent to magistrates in batches of hundreds and sometimes thousands, and they are rubber stamped without real scrutiny.’
John is said to live at the Cheshire mansion, while Tyson and his wife Paris, 33, own a £1.7million property in Morecombe, Lancashire.
Tyson bought the mansion in Lancashire for £1.695million in December 2020, according to land registry records, purchasing it through their firm Tyson Fury Ltd without needing a mortgage.
The family used to live in a £550,000 home overlooking Morcambe Bay before they moved to their new home, which is built on a plot that used to be occupied by a static caravan-style bungalow.
The star has an extensive property portfolio. In 2018, Tyson boasted that he had bought a mansion in Marbella, Spain, for around £6million, it was claimed.
And back in May 2021 he suggested that he had purchased a sprawling property in Las Vegas, it was reported.

The two tied the knot in 2008 at St. Peter in Chains Catholic Church in Doncaster, South Yorkshire and celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary last month.
In September, the couple announced they had welcomed their seventh child together – a baby boy.
They are already parents to Venezuela, 13, Prince John James, 11, Prince Tyson II, seven, Valencia Amber, five, Prince Adonis Amaziah, four, and Athena, two.
Tyson has described his father John, who has five other sons including Love Island star Tommy Fury, 24, as the ‘clan leader’.
John was once jailed for gouging out a fellow Traveller’s eye in a savage feud. He was sentenced for 11 years for the ‘cold-blooded’ 2011 attack, which left his victim half-blind.
He was eventually released in February 2015, after serving less than half his sentence – and later said: ‘He’s lost an eye and I’ve lost five years of my life.’
MailOnline has contacted the Furys and Cheshire East Council for comment.
