Tyson Fury’s home has a knockout theme – himself.

The boxing champ, 32, has pictures of himself on almost every wall of his mansion.

The star has given the MTV Cribs crew an insight into his stunning Morecambe home.

They include a painting of him in his first professional fight, a family portrait and magazine covers. There’s also a picture of him on a pair of trainers.

Tyson even has a home museum dedicated to himself. It features memorabilia including boxing gloves, caps and outfits he’s worn in the ring.

And there’s the crown he wore when he fought Deontay Wilder for the world heavyweight title.

But Tyson’s most precious pictures are from his 2009 wedding to wife Paris, who is expecting their sixth child any day now.

She said: "That was back in the day when Tyson had a full head of hair and a straight nose."

Tyson admitted: “I’m much more handsome there than I am today. But Paris looks even better today than she did."

In another room there are boxing gloves featuring pictures of the pair. Paris joked: "If we get divorced, we get one each."

Tyson also rules the roost when it comes to the kitchen. The athlete packs the freezer with meat so he can maintain his trademark stature. He said: "I eat a lot of meat, a lot of chicken, fish.

"I’m a big, giant guy. I’m 6ft 9in and weighing in at 275lb."

Upstairs Tyson has had an extra-long bath installed so he can fit in it.

Meanwhile a balcony in one room has 'GK' written on it in big letters, in honour of his nickname Gypsy King. He said: "When it’s a nice day, I’ll have a deck chair out here and a glass of wine."

But despite being the king of his castle, he still has to do house chores. That ­includes taking the bins out, along with some even messier jobs.

He said: "As well as being heavyweight champion’s hands, they’re great for changing nappies and feeding bottles to kids."

Tyson has to be careful not to get knocked out in his own home though, because he is so tall. As he walks from room to room he has to duck the door frames and chandeliers so he doesn’t bash his head.

On the driveway there is a fleet of supercars, ­including a Ferrari. But Tyson’s ­favourite motor is his van, because he can fit the whole family in it.

It’s become known as "the furious family wagon".

He said: "This is the best vehicle that I actually own. Because it’s an eight seater, so I can fit my full family in, get my dog in. We can all go off to places together."

Tyson is worth an estimated £40million so he could afford to live anywhere in the world, but he couldn’t be happier than at home in Morecambe, Lancs.

He said: "I ­really love it here. It’s right on the seafront."

"Everybody knows me in Morecambe Bay. People come here for a cup of tea, knock on my door, that sort of thing."

Tyson gives viewers a ringside seat on the new series of Cribs. Watch it on Monday at 8pm on MTV.
