World heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury has dealt a knockout blow on shocked litter louts in Morecambe.
The WBC Heavyweight Champion pulled off an 'Ant and Dec' style practical joke warning people not to throw used chewing gum on the floor during a filming session outside the Arndale shopping centre.
A 'trash talking' bin with Tyson's face on it stunned passers by in New Town Square - as the champ's actual voice came booming from it!
"Oi, pick that up!" he yelled as people dropped litter, then turned around startled, wondering where the warning was coming from.
Fury was hidden inside the nearby closed-down former Jerome Celebration Cakes shop, using a microphone to call out litter louts.
"We can't be littering Morecambe!" he told them.

People were stunned when the 6ft 9in champ himself then came rushing out of the shop to meet them, to encourage them to use his bin and to hand out his own branded chewing gum and cans of energy drink!
At one point 'The Gypsy King' even made a man do five press-ups for not using the bin, then rewarded him with a pack of his new Tyson Fury gum!
Fury was accompanied by his friend and fellow Morecambe boxer 'The Westgate Warrior' Isaac Lowe.
The Tyson trash talking bins are being installed across the UK in the hope of tackling chewing gum litter. (Image from the official @Tyson_Fury Twitter page).

They have been designed as an exact replica of his face, with a recording of the Gypsy King himself warning people to put their gum in his head instead of littering.
The bins bellow out phrases such as “Don't be a dosser, put your gum in the bin”, all recorded by the Morecambe-based champion himself.
The bins were rolled out to launch Fury's new FUROCITY Peppermint Energy Gum.
