Unmasked: the claims firms racing to cash in on car finance scandal
After a dramatic pause, the 36-year-old former world heavyweight champion, shadow boxing in the blue colours of the compensation company My Claim Group, continued: 'Not for belts, but for justice. Because now I'm fighting for the people. To claim back what is rightfully ours.
'If you bought a vehicle on finance after 2007, you could be owed up to £4,000 in compensation. Click the link to start your claim.' The Instagram post has now been taken down.
Fury's decision to pivot into advertising car finance compensation may seem curious. But it is an industry that has packed a punch in recent years.

Marcus Rashford produces early contender for miss of the season in Barcelona's 5-0 demolition of Cesc Fabregas' Como
Marcus Rashford produced a glaring misses as Barcelona swept aside Cesc Fabregas ' Como in the Joan Gamper Trophy on Sunday. The England forward joined Barcelona on loan from Manchester United last month, with the Catalan giants having the option to turn the move permanent for around £30m. He made his home debut on Sunday night as the LaLiga side cruised to a 5-0 victory in their final pre-season match. But with Barcelona already 4-0 up, Rashford squandered a golden chance to mark the occasion with a goal. The 27-year-old rounded the goalkeeper but somehow fired wide of an open goal. He and team-mate Raphinha were both left with their heads in their hands in disbelief. Fortunately for Rashford, Barcelona were already out of sight thanks to goals from Fermin Lopez, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, with the teenage sensation adding a second after the break to complete the 5-0 demolition. The United loanee did at least play his part in the rout, using his blistering pace to beat a defender before delivering a perfect assist for Raphinha's strike. Rashford will be hopeful of making his competitive debut for barcelona when they open their LaLiga campaign with a trip to Mallorca on Saturday. The reigning champions have faced difficulties in registering players with the league due to their ongoing financial situation. Barcelona struggled to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor last season, with the pair initially given temporary licences which were revoked by LaLiga during the January transfer window. The club were temporarily granted permission to have the licences reinstated following an appeal, but the saga dragged on throughout the 2025-26 season. Barcelona president Joan Laporta has expressed confidence that Rashford will be among six stars registered prior to the season. 'It's progressing well,' Laporta told ESPN. 'We're doing our job and we're confident that we'll be able to register everyone.' When asked about the situation, Rashford added 'It's something for the club to sort out. I believe they are going to get it sorted. 'I just focus on training and be ready for the start of the season.'

Drink-drive limit could be cut in plan to overhaul road safety laws
The drink-drive limit could be cut and older drivers face mandatory eye tests as the Government tries to reduce the number of road deaths. In a major overhaul of the UK's road safety laws, ministers are also considering tougher penalties for uninsured drivers and failing to wear a seatbelt, according to a report in The Times. The proposals, set to be published as part of a road safety strategy in the autumn, come amid concern about the number of people being killed or seriously injured on Britain's roads. Last year, 1,633 people were killed and almost 28,000 seriously injured in traffic incidents, and numbers have remained relatively constant following a large fall between 2000 and 2010. A Labour source said: 'At the end of the last Labour government, the number of people killed and seriously injured on our roads was at a record low, but numbers have remained stubbornly high under successive Conservative governments. 'In no other circumstance would we accept 1,600 people dying, with thousands more seriously injured, costing the NHS more than £2 billion per year.' Meanwhile, the number of people killed in drink-driving incidents has risen over the past decade, reaching a 13-year high in 2022 and prompting concern that existing road safety measures are no longer working. Under the plans being considered by Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander, the drink-drive limit in England and Wales could be cut from 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath to 22 micrograms. This figure would be in line with Scotland, which cut its drink-drive limit in 2014, and the rest of Europe, where no other country has a limit as high as that in England and Wales. The UK is also one of only three European countries to rely on self-reporting of eyesight problems that affect driving, leading ministers to consider compulsory eye tests every three years for drivers aged over 70 and a driving ban for those who fail. Other proposals are reported to include allowing the police to bring prosecutions for drug-driving on the basis of roadside saliva tests rather than blood tests as increasing numbers of drivers are being caught with drugs in their system. The Labour source added: 'This Labour Government will deliver the first road safety strategy in a decade, imposing tougher penalties on those breaking the law, protecting road users and restoring order to our roads.' The strategy is due to be published in the autumn, and all proposals will be subject to consultation.
