AS Tyson Fury contemplates whether to cover himself all the way, dad John covered himself in his son's glory.
After his triumph over Deontay Wilder in the world heavyweight trilogy, the Gypsy King suggested that he may retire.
John, a boxing coach, cut a fashionable figure in a jacket that reflected Tyson's title-filled path to the top.
Fury senior would like Oleksandr Usyk, the conqueror of Anthony Joshua to be Tyson’s next (and perhaps final) opponent.
He was wearing natty clothes and he looked backwards, not forwards as he went out in Wilmslow (Cheshire).
After he had parked his 28-year old Mercedes at the roadside, some onlookers recognized him and asked for selfies.
A proud smile and FURY cap, as well as the bomber jacket, were enough clues to his identity.
The jacket includes 19 titles of Tyson, starting with the English crown that he won in 2009 and continuing on to gongs such as the British and Commonwealth belts, which came two years later and his current WBC and Ring awards.
The 33-year old unbeaten has fought back from mental health issues, a ban on taking banned substances, and many other obstacles.
Tyson is selling photos of his second consecutive victory over Wilder, the dynamite puncher, this week.
He won't take a quick decision about his future.
Dad John is clear in his views but he laughed at the possibility that fellow Brit Dillian Whyte might be at the top of the queue.
Fury senior, aged 57, said to Sky Sports that he didn't want any discussion about Whyte because he isn't in Tyson's classes.
Tyson would be the best if he went out on a regular basis, sharpened his tools correctly and got rid of that ring rust.
"At the moment he's boxing between 50-60% of what he's doing."
Oleksandr Usyk has no chance against Tyson with no ring rust and a fair shot at the job.
"If my son were to listen to me, it would be Usyk or Nothing... but he doesn't listen to me anyway so it's up Tyson."
