This was supposed to be the weekend that Tyson Fury defended his world heavyweight title against Wladimir Klitschko.
Injury put paid to that, however, and the Mancunian has spent part of his summer recovering from his badly sprained ankle.
He has also spent part of it parting with a lot of money buying drinks for England fans.
The 27-year-old showed a €1,000 receipt after buying 200 jagerbombs for football fans in Nice on the night before England’s Euro 2016 exit at the hands of Iceland.
But he has promised to go one better after the rematch with Klitschko, which has a new date of October 29.
Next time I'm out after the fight with @Klitschko I'll let every1 know where, & I'm spending 10k on drinks for the fans,to show my ❤️❤️❤️

The rematch is due to take place in Manchester, Fury’s hometown, so we’re probably not jumping to conclusions when we say you’ll likely need to be in that city to take advantage of his generous offer.
Fury became world champion for the first time when he beat Klitschko by unanimous decision in November 2015.
He has an undefeated career record to defend against the Ukrainian, as well as his WBA, WBO and IBO world titles.
The IBF title, which Fury surrendered in order to make room for the Klitschko rematch, is currently held by fellow Brit Anthony Joshua after he knocked out Charles Martin in April.
