TYSON FURY partied into the night with Joseph Parker just hours after the New Zealander beat his cousin Hughie in a clash for the WBO heavyweight title.
A closely-fought match saw Parker emerge victorious via a points decision which was controversially scored at 114-114, 118-110 and 118-110.
Hughie Fury believes he should have won the fight and is appealing the result.
But famous cousin Tyson clearly seems to feel the correct call was made.
The former heavyweight king has cut a rather reserved figure in the last year after battling personal demons.
But Fury appeared to be delighted with Parker’s victory as the pair celebrated at the Ice Cave nightclub in Manchester.
Fury placed an arm around his friend as they knocked back the drinks before a video emerged of them taking part in a shirtless Haka later on.
Whether Hughie has anything to say to his cousin about the knees-up remains to be seen.

While trainer Kevin Barry added: “The golden goose is Anthony Joshua. Joshua’s style is perfect for Parker and we will be very excited when that day comes.”
