Microphones were thrust in his face from an expectant press alongside people training their cameras on the star, who despite his outspoken and outrageous views, can still pull a crowd.
And he is never short of a line or two, especially as he revelled in the news this week that he was able to relaunch his boxing career after accepting a backdated two-year drugs ban.
The controversial boxer told reporters: "I've got a new baby. I won my court case. I'm able to box again. A couple of other things have gone well. I've recently had a penis extension, that's gone to plan. I've had my after-op care and everything is going really well."
He is aiming to get back in the ring as soon as possible having lost four stones in recent months as he targets a return in 2018.
Fans had been able to get a close-up glimpse and pose up for pictures with Fury at the glitzy Showfighter night.
It was soon time for Fury to enter the stage flanked by security guards to be interviewed by sports journalist and broadcaster Gareth A Davies.

In a noticeably gruff tone of voice, Fury spoke of taking a blow in sparring which left him with a blood clot in his throat near his voice-box.
He had been booked into have an operation to remove it two weeks ago but he told the crowd: "I thought f*** that."
Fury also joked about having his own TV show with former boxer Ricky Hatton, which he said he was would call: "This Is How You Become Fat."
And he told the audience he has his eyes on a bout with current champ Anthony Joshua.
