A handful of pub-goers were left 'stunned' when heavyweight champion of the world Tyson Fury walked into the Queen's pub in Aintree for a quick drink and a chat.
The 33-year-old fighter, who was in Liverpool as part of his 'Fury Fest - The Official After Party Tour', popped in to use the bathroom, according to locals.
But on his return, 'The Gypsy King' emerged topless before ordering half a pint of lager. Twitter user @any_spare posted pictures of Fury near the bar area.
Following his brief appearance at the pub, a bartender at the Queen's spoke to the Liverpool Echo about their encounter with one of the greatest boxers of all time.
"Nobody noticed him at first as he just walked through the bar we were not that busy then I popped my head up and saw Tyson Fury," they said.

"I said to one of my colleges, Is that Tyson Fury' and his manager was said, 'yeah it's him'.
"He then came out of the bathroom and started taking photographs with everyone he was only in there for five minutes. He had a suit on originally but I think he took his top off because everyone had already noticed him."
Fury has been known to surprise pub-goers in years gone by.

Back in 2016, on a blazing-hot evening in the French town of Nice, the 6ft 9inch heavyweight champion was spotted walking down a narrow cobbled street, with a handful of people either side.
It was the night before England's infamous defeat to Iceland at the European Championship, so Fury decided to lift the mood with a gift.
For punters like Robin Evans, it would be an evening to remember.

"We were sat outside when he walked into the bar," Evans told SPORTbible. "He then started asking people what they wanted and someone at the back shouted 200 Jägerbombs.
"He duly got them in, to great cheers. Those behind the bar had to go and get more bottles of Jäger out back as they didn't have enough!"
Fury spent a grand total of €1,000 on Jägerbombs for those in attendance, as many posed next to his huge frame for a picture.
He later posted the bar bill on Twitter, saying: "This is how much I love my fans, Euro 2016, 200 jagerbombs, for the fans."
