Tyson Fury and family ordered to pay $281k in land row

WBC Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and his brothers must pay nearly $281,000 after a judge ruled they owed unpaid business rates in a row over land used as a car park.

Cheshire East Council argued the sum was due on land owned by the boxing champion and his brothers, John and Shane, near Manchester Airport.

Their representatives said they were not liable because they rented out the land to be run as an airport car park.

The boxer's father, John Fury, appeared at the hearing at Chester Magistrates Court.

District Judge John McGarva says the family's evidence was "wholly unsatisfactory" partly because none of the brothers were present in court.

Their father said his son paid "millions of pounds in tax each year" and assertions that the fighter had "anything to do" with the land in Styal were "ridiculous".
