The BIZARRE sculpture by Tyson Fury, world heavyweight champion, made from DRAIN PEEPS has been called 'embarrassing" by Morecambe residents.
The eight-foot structure was constructed from brown plastic drainage pipes that were purchased at a local builder's merchant.

Anthony Padgett, an artist also from Morecambe says that it captures the boxer’s 'essence.
According to the Daily Mail, Padgett stated that "The sculpture was inspired Tyson Fury." It captures the essence and key moment of boxing, the punch.
"It's great to see a sculpture that depicts Tyson's world achievements in Morecambe.
"Also, to have a contemporan artwork shows Morecambe's progressive views on art."
Others disagree with Padgett. One person called the sculpture'stupid'.
One Twitter user said: "@Tyson_Fury, mate, so sorry for the stupid drainpipe sculpture.

"You have worked so hard, and you deserve a fitting tribute. (Needs in bronze/solid and show a boxer!) )"
Others noticed the humorous side of the strange sculpture.
Simon Gooch laughed: "I heard that a Tyson Fury statue was in the pipeline." It wasn't literal, I thought.
Fury isn’t the only high-profile sports star to have a statue named after him.
Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo was recreated by a sculptor, but the result wasn't exactly like his 36-year-old counterpart.
Some footy fans likened the sculpture to Bowser in the Super Mario Brothers movie.
