Tyson Fury wore tape over his mouth and refused to utter a single word yesterday in protest against his fine from the British Boxing Board of Control.

Fury was handed a misconduct charge and fined £15,000 for his behaviour at a press conference in June, when the 26-year-old launched into a number of expletive-ridden rants at Dereck Chisora and journalists.

The tape strapped across Fury’s mouth had “BBB of C” with question marks next to it.
