Tyson Fury 'has people wiping his a**e', according to a former British boxer.
The Gypsy King is in the spotlight after narrowly beating Francis Ngannou via split decision in Saudi Arabia last weekend.
Fury was struck down by his opponent in round three of the contest, with A-listers such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Conor McGregor left stunned.
The Brit got back up to win but his performance raised eyebrows and he's faced scrutiny ever since.

Former pro boxer Dominic Negus worked on security for the fight in Riyadh - and he's now told the Daily Star he thinks Fury has 'so many people wiping his a**e' and 'half of them are there for the ride'.
"It was a great show to be involved in, it was a great honour," the former WBU world champion told the publication.
"We were there for Queensberry Promotions overseeing the whole show.
"As for Tyson [Fury], he must have 20 or 30 people wiping his a**e and half of them are there for the ride. There were so many hangers-on there."
Negus also took aim at John Fury, too, insisting he's full of talk and tries to make boxing all about him.
He continued: “There was never going to be trouble over there, only John Fury changing his nappy again!
“I mean that guy is just a melt. He thinks it’s the f***ing John Fury show, it’s a joke. It’s all about him.
“You’ve got your son fighting, let the boy do his job.
"You had your chance years ago, you weren’t a good fighter anyway back in the day. All you are now is a big, overgrown bully.
“How many times has he said he’s going to smack people? He’s f***ing smacked no one.
"Sometimes you need to be quiet, it ain’t your night, it’s your boy’s night."
John was chaotic prior to the fight in the Middle East.
He whipped his shirt off at a pre-fight press conference and, knowing the cameras were on him, proceeded to go viral for his antics.
And John also challenged boxing icon Mike Tyson to a fight, having named his son after the 57-year-old.
Iron Mike has reacted to Ngannou's defeat to Fury, having trained the former UFC star for the bout.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, he said he was proud of the way the 37-year-old performed.
"I’m proud of Francis Ngannou because he listened to everything I said," he said.
"And I was telling everybody about the great left hook that he landed on his sparring partner and actually broke his leg and I knew if he landed that left hook on anybody they were gone and I was right.
"The champ went down. I'm happy.
“I’m very grateful to be involved with his glory, his victory.

"I’m sure we’ll see a lot more of Mr. Francis.”
Ngannou is expected to be the star of the show on December 23 with Saudi Arabia preparing to host yet another big night of boxing.
Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua have been talked up as potential opponents.
