The Netflix cameras have been following the Gypsy King's every move since filming started a couple of weeks ago.
And they will have captured the former unified heavyweight champion putting on quite the display as he strode down the high street in rural Scottish town Granton on Spey.
The 36-year-old stunned passersby as he walked the high street topless in a tartan kilt.
Fury completed his daring look with a tartan tie around his neck, despite not wearing a shirt.
Stunned locals couldn't believe their eyes as the Brit boxing legend strolled the streets, with several of them flocking to him to try and get a selfie.
Fury was all too happy to take snaps with adoring fans and even went out of his way to wave to members of the public on the other side of the road.
Fury shared a video of his topless kilt walk on his Instagram with the accompanying caption: "Freedom."
Scores of his followers commented on the video, with one saying: 'True champion.

"Another said: "The best ever."
And another said: "The people's champion."

Fury made it further north than Granton, visiting the small town of John o'Groats, where he stayed in a caravan park.
John o'Groats Caravan and Camping site were proud as punch to have the boxer stay with them.
Along with a series of snaps of the Wythenshawe warrior, they wrote: "We were delighted to host the one and only 'Gypsy King' Mr Tyson Fury and his family at the John O Groats Caravan and Camping Site!!
"It was a pleasure to have them all stay with us!"
Fury hasn't set foot in the ring since his second straight defeat to former undisputed heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk last December.
He retired a few weeks after his second successive defeat to the Ukrainian but has publicly toyed with the idea of ending his fifth hanging up of the gloves.

Jannik Sinner in shock career change as three-time Grand Slam winner, 23, releases single with Andrea Bocelli

Sinner not the first tennis star to launch musical side-hustle JANNIK SINGER Jannik Sinner in shock career change as three-time Grand Slam winner, 23, releases single with Andrea Bocelli JANNIK SINNER has swapped tennis swinging for tenor singing with his shock new music collaboration.

That is because the top male singles player has dropped his very own... single. The Australian Open and US Open champion - who served a controversial three-month doping ban earlier this year - has linked up with Italian compatriot and world-famous opera singer Bocelli, 66, to release their track. The celebrity duo's duet Polvere e Gloria - which translates as 'Dust and Glory' in English - will be released on Friday, with a teaser video featuring the pair launched on Thursday.

Sinner follows in the footsteps of fellow tennis players Yannick Noah, Lorenzo Sonego, Denis Shapovalov and Corentin Moutet by releasing music - with the others having mixed levels of success. Bocelli, meanwhile, memorably sang at Leicester City's 5,000-1 Premier League title coronation for his friend Claudio Ranieri - and then made a surprise cameo on Match of the Day last month to bid Gary Lineker farewell.

Great British Menu star suddenly closes city centre restaurant after just 18 months as chef issues sombre warning

The owners blamed rising costs and taxes for the sudden closure SHUTTERS DOWN Great British Menu star suddenly closes city centre restaurant after just 18 months as chef issues sombre warning Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TRENDY restaurant in the heart of Manchester is closing down just 15 months after first opening its doors to punters. Medlock Canteen in Deansgate was co-founded by Great British Menu star Sam Grainger and first launched in March last year. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Sam Grainger starred in Great British Menu Credit: BBC 3 His latest restaurant, Medlock Canteen, is closing down Credit: Medlock Canteen Its owners announced the sad of social media, saying there were too many factors at play that would allow the restaurant to stay open any longer. The restaurant was a fusion of a French bistro and American diner that served bottomless coffees and chicken rotisserie among many other delectable items. "With heavy hearts, we're announcing the closure of Medlock Canteen," the restaurant began in a statement posted to Instagram. "When we opened our doors 18 months ago, our dream was simple: to build a neighbourhood spot where everyone felt welcome, serving proper good food you know, love and can't wait to eat." The statement continued: "But the current climate has made that dream a tough one to sustain. Rising costs, increased taxes, and tighter spending have created challenges we've fought hard to overcome but, sadly, they're ones we just can't compete with. "We're proud to say our amazing team has been looked after, with payroll up to date and everyone offered roles elsewhere in our family of venues. "If you've got opportunities going, drop us a message - we'd love to pass them on to anyone ready for their next chapter." The restaurant's three owners concluded: "To everyone who dined, left us a rave review, shared a laugh, or came back for seconds: thank you. You made this little place feel truly special. "And yes, we promise, one day, somehow, we'll get that rhubarb pie back to you! Chris, Owain and Sam x." The three restaurateurs then offered anyone left in the lurch without a booking at the sudden closure of Medlock Canteen a 20 percent discount at their other eateries, Madre, Salon and Winsome. Sam, who hails from Liverpool, first fell in love with food thanks to his West Indian grandfather. He then travelled around the world to hone his skills as a cook, including a stint in Australia and Asia. Sam also owns the restaurant Belzan, which is his flagship eatery in Liverpool, a street food Mexican joint called Escape to Freight Island in Manchester and Madre an authentic Mexican taqueria in the Royal Albert Dock.

The free outdoor event will get everyone singing at the very start of the festival in Princes Street Gardens. The Perthshire singer-songwriter is the epitome of everything Scottish and is the composer of the Scottish anthem, Caledonia. The mass singalong that welcomes all voices, curated by Edinburgh's Love Music Community Choir Artistic Director, Stephen Deazley.

Norwegian folk ensemble Barokksolistene join forces with Donald Shaw, known as founding member of Scottish folk legends Capercaillie, accompanied by his ceilidh band. Alongside well-known ceilidh tunes such as the 'The Gay Gordons' and 'Strip the Willow Barokksolistene add Baroque music, sea shanties and alehouse tunes to the mix for a truly international afternoon of music and dance. Nicola Benedetti, Festival Director, Edinburgh International Festival said: 'At the heart of our Festival is a commitment to connection – providing a closer communion between artist and audience. From our mass ceilidh dancing, to singing Dougie MacLean's iconic anthem 'Caledonia' at the top of our lungs in the Princes Street Gardens, to spontaneous jam sessions for jazz lovers and classical enthusiasts alike, these events invite everyone to take part in the magic of live performance. We are all about celebrating artistry in its most human, communal form, and I can't wait for everyone to experience it with us in August.' Stephen Deazley, Artistic Director of The Big Singalong, said: 'Caledonia has become more than just a song—it's a reflection of Scotland's spirit. Nearly 50 years on, it still speaks powerfully about what it means to find home, especially for those who are new to Scotland or have journeyed far. Singing it together in Princes Street Gardens this August for the International Festival opening weekend isn't just about music; it's about connection. It's a way for people to feel they belong, to share in something bigger. When thousands of voices come together, you feel that sense of welcome, of joy, of community—and that's what Scotland is all about.'

These events not only celebrate our rich musical heritage—with icons like Dougie MacLean and Donald Shaw—but also play a vital role in growing the value of Scotland's visitor economy. Free, inclusive events like these are essential in ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to experience the joy and connection that live events bring. Together with our enviable portfolio of cultural and sporting events, the Edinburgh International Festival reinforces Scotland's global reputation as a world-class destination for tourism and events.'
