Tyson Fury claims his next opponent Vinny Maddalone will have nothing to scare him after the Irish heavyweight champion was arrested in Holland at gun point during the week.

Fury and his team are currently recovering from being hand-cuffed, strip-searched and held for 11 hours after Dutch police wrongfully arrested them in Rotterdam.

Police were searching for the culprits of an armed robbery and murder and the mistook Team Fury for the assailants.

The giant heavyweight has put the ordeal behind him and is now glad to be focusing on his next fight.

“Boxing Vinny Maddalone should be easy compared with this. I’ll be a relieved man when I finally arrive in Bristol,” Fury said.

“They were pointing guns at us and shouting: ‘Get down, get down. There had been a robbery in which someone was murdered and some guys in a bar had given the police a description of the robbers and it was similar to us. The ironical thing is I came here to get away from distractions at home. What a choice!”
