A WOMAN has insisted her husband would make a brilliant Tyson Fury lookalike – despite people saying he looks more “Dyson Fury” than a carbon copy of the Gypsy King.
Claire has been sharing pictures and videos of her other half on social media in a bid to get him picked up by a celebrity lookalike agency.
James has even applied to an agency himself, but “never heard back”.
Since then, he’s been posing for snaps which make him look just like the boxing champ – including with his autobiography and his aftershave.
And while some people can’t see the likeness between him and Tyson, others are so convinced that they even stop him for selfies when he’s out and about, Claire told Fabulous Online.
He’s even 6ft 7in tall – just two inches short of the man himself.
But in the comments section of a recent TikTok video showing James’ similarity to Tyson, people hilariously poked fun at the ‘likeness’.
“Chris Eubank looks more like Tyson Fury than your husband,” one wrote.
“Do see Tyson a little bit, leaning more towards Ainsley Harriott though,” another joked.
“Just coz he’s tall and has a beard doesn’t qualify him to be a Tyson lookalike,” a third argued.
“He has small similarities.”
“6 foot 7, multiple personalities, a good one two combo, the list goes on,” Claire replied.
“That’s Dyson Fury,” someone else said.
“You would pay for this to hoover your house through, wouldn’t you?” Claire responded with a wink.
“Tyson Mildly Upset,” another joked.
While someone else called him a “council estate Tyson Fury”.
“I’m sure if he was from a council estate he’d happily take that title ….. would probably take it regardless!” Claire – who lovingly calls her man “Temu Tyson” – joked.
However, others insisted that there’s clearly a similarity between James and Tyson.
“I don’t know why people are trying to be different,” one wrote.
“They clearly look alike!”
“I see it,” another added.
“Yeah he does look like him,” a third commented.
“Get him one of the eccentric suits he wears and pair of glasses !! hahaha he’ll definitely turn heads!” someone else suggested.
“Yeah I can see it somewhat,” another wrote.
Claire and James insisted that they’re up for the “bants” in response to someone else’s comment praising them for being “thick skinned” about responses from trolls.
“We love, love, love this comment because we live for the bants!!!” they wrote.
“So much doom & gloom in the world, we can all make it a bit of a better place with some light heartedness!”
WINDSOR Castle has been surrounded by eco-idiots who are plotting to storm the royal grounds in “three days of chaos”.
A tent city could be seen in Windsor Great Park this morning as Extinction Rebellion stage an “upgrade democracy” mass occupation.
It was previously revealed XR activists plan to create a diversion on The Long Walk which would allow members of the group to break into the castle grounds.
Extra security barriers have been put in place to stop the eco idiots getting close to the gates of the castle.
Residents, dog walkers and tourists have all been advised to avoid the area from August 30 to September 1.
GARY NEVILLE and Jamie Carragher are getting ready for the fiery North West derby by cranking up the heat in the sauna.

"It'll be a tough game"

Sky Sports News turned to their star pundits for their views, with presenter Pete Graves joking that he had interrupted their spa day as the pair joined together remotely.
Reds icon Carragher admitted: “In the main, Liverpool find it difficult at Old Trafford.
“If you go to last season, that was where the wheels really fell off in their chase for the title.
“So, I think it will be a tough game but I think the fact Liverpool already have six points means a draw isn’t the end of the world going into the international break.”
Asked if he would take a draw, Neville replied: “No, I wouldn’t take a draw.
“Obviously the FA Cup game last season was unbelievable.
“I think Erik ten Hag has a knack of just finding the right result at the right time.
“I would worry about him a bit on Sunday if they lose badly but I don’t see that, I don’t think it will be a big defeat.

“I wouldn’t say I’m confident but they have a habit of turning up in the right moments and getting results under Erik ten Hag.
“I think they need it, that Brighton result last weekend. It’s not putting big pressure on but he is under a bit of pressure after what happened last season.
“The league can’t go as badly this season, they can’t be in the same position two or three months in.
“So, I think it’s a very important game this early in the season. It’s difficult to say it’s more important for United than Liverpool but I think it’s important for Erik ten Hag in terms of getting the performance levels up.
“There were signs in the first two weeks at Fulham and Brighton that the performance levels are not quite good enough.”
Carragher predicted a Liverpool win before joking that they would continue their debate in the sauna.
MANCHESTER UNITED suffered more misery on the seaside as they lost again at the Amex.
It was almost all so different for the Red Devils as, at 1-1, fans celebrated what they thought was a winner – only for the goal to be ruled out in a bonkers offside call.
And Joao Pedro pounced to snatch the three points for Brighton deep into added time.
Here’s how SunSport’s Lloyd Canfield rated United’s stars…
ANDRE ONANA – 4/10
Not convincing from a goalkeeper we know can perform with the best in this league.
NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI – 6
Has been a good upgrade on Wan-Bissaka judging by his opening performances in a United shirt.
HARRY MAGUIRE – 4
Was caught ball watching for Danny Welbeck’s opener, and was rendered useless after letting it run past him twice.
Improved in the second half with some crucial blocks and was decent in terms of building from the back, but his error may have cost his team three points.
LISANDRO MARTINEZ – 5
Not a particularly noticeable performance from ‘The Butcher’ in a positive or negative sense.
Suppose it was a solid showing but was also caught ball watching for the opening goal.
DIOGO DALOT – 7
Was unlucky not to have an assist in the first half, but played well and put the team on his back at times.
Made a crucial goal line block early on in the second half to deny Brighton a two-goal lead and played some good crosses throughout.
CASEMIRO – 6
Stepped into tackles well when required and is having something of a resurgence at the start of this season – doesn’t look as off the pace as he did last campaign.
His final ball was disappointing at times, but overall a solid showing.
KOBBIE MAINOO – 7
Composure personified, Kobbie played like a midfielder well beyond his years.
Was always on hand to break up play, a la N’Golo Kante, but showed a calmness and ability on the half-turn which really puts him up there with the best in the league – a great performance let down by that of his teammates.
MASON MOUNT – 5
Didn’t play badly in the first half, but also added nothing really going forward for this Man Utd team.
Hooked at half-time for the more threatening Joshua Zirkzee.
MARCUS RASHFORD – 6
Had a goal ruled out in the first half after he had persisted brilliantly to head home.
A little unlucky but it was still far from the finest Marcus Rashford performance we have seen, he looked a little low on confidence before being hooked for the more confident Garnacho.
AMAD DIALLO – 8
Had a great chance to open the scoring early on in the game as he arrived at the back post, but it wasn’t quite at the right height for him.
The young winger clearly has bundles of ability, and bagged the equaliser with a fine cut inside and finish with his left foot.
Worth a note that after losing his mother it takes a hell of a man to even be out on that pitch at 22-years-old. Well played Amad, we are with you.
BRUNO FERNANDES – 7
Cut a frustrated figure up front for Man Utd in the first half before thinking he’d bagged an assist when Alejandro Garnacho tapped home, only for it to be ruled out by VAR.
Just wasn’t his day today, but still created chances for his team and looked the most likely source of a winner for the Red Devils.
SUBS:
JOSHUA ZIRKZEE (MASON MOUNT, 45) – 4
His only real action of note in the game was denying his team the winning goal.
Alejandro Garnacho had done the hard work and was about to give Man Utd the lead, only for Zirkzee to slide in and see it ruled out for offside.
His mistake did display an eagerness to score, but it was an error which cost his side nonetheless.
ALEJANDRO GARNACHO (MARCUS RASHFORD, 65) – 6
Did his job well in replacing Marcus Rashford and adding the end product which was needed by Erik ten Hag, but was robbed of a goal by his teammate as aforementioned.
Looks a danger whenever he plays on that left hand side, but after the goal that never was he was well defended for the remaining minutes.
SCOTT MCTOMINAY (BRUNO FERNANDES, 79) – 5
Bought on as a target man once again to try and get the winner for United, he wasn’t really provided with many opportunities in just over 10 minutes to really do that.
MATTHIJS DE LIGT (HARRY MAGUIRE, 79) – 5
Wasn’t really given enough of a chance to show what he is all about, but it’s minutes in the tank for the new man and he did what was asked of him after coming off the bench.
ANTONY (AMAD DIALLO, 90) – 5
In fairness to him, made a good run as soon as he entered the pitch and crossed well for Scott McTominay.
However, he wasn’t given enough time to make any significant impact.
OASIS fans have been left in a frenzy as the deadline to get presale ticket codes was extended AGAIN.

It’s been Oasis-mania in recent days with fans desperate to get their hands on the gig tickets.
One wrote: “Literally had nightmares last night about not getting tickets, shit’s getting real. I have to go into work today and will stay back late for the presale (provided I’m lucky enough to receive a code).”
A second posted: “Woke up feeling sick and insane yet again. Oasis you’re killing me here!”
A third said: “Feeling queasy & dreading the funk I’m going to be in this weekend (& longer!) if I don’t get a ticket!”
“I’m calling in sick tomorrow to give myself the best chance of getting tickets,” a fourth added.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to get your hands on a ticket – and the mistakes to avoid.
A source said: “These shows will sell out in less than three minutes. Extra dates will be added for sure.”
Music insiders told The Sun how excitement levels reached fever-pitch at 8am on Tuesday when an online post confirmed Monday’s Sun story that Oasis were reforming.
New photographs of Noel and Liam were also published, with insiders telling The Sun the top-secret snaps were taken three weeks ago in London.
A source said: “Once the deal was signed seven weeks ago, Noel and Liam confirmed they would meet in person for a shoot.
“The shoot happened around three weeks ago and the few people in the room signed non-disclosure agreements to stop it leaking.
“Noel and Liam haven’t had an easy relationship but they were very comfortable with each other.
“They were messing around and having a laugh. You could feel the magic and chemistry. Being with them in that studio felt like being transported back to the 1990s.”
The band’s founder Alan McGee this week told Virgin Radio that the brothers’ mum Peggy, 81, was a major reason for the reunion.
He said: “I’m sure she is behind the whole thing.
“Peggy is great, she is rocking on.”
He added of the brothers: “They’re really professional. I don’t think it (falling out) will be an issue.”

Insiders also said Liam and Noel’s children were key in the shows coming together.
Noel’s daughter Anais, 24, broke her silence on the reunion with a sweet post, sharing an old photo of her father and Liam, captioning it simply: “Summer 2025.”
She is also close to Liam’s sons Lennon, 24, and Gene, 23, who said earlier this month they had discussed their parents reforming their band.
Gene said of Anais: “We have jokes about it. She knows what her dad is like and I know what my dad is like. Hey, we’re a big happy family everyone.”
On Monday, Spotify revealed that streams of Oasis music had rocketed by 160 per cent globally in a week thanks to fans listening to songs from their eight No1 albums.
Music sources have told The Sun that bands including Fontaines DC and Kasabian are among acts being discussed to open the massive shows.
A source said: “Opening for Oasis is the hottest ticket in town.
“Talks are ongoing with groups like Fontaines DC and Kasabian, as well as Gene Gallagher’s band Villanelle who opened for Liam’s Definitely Maybe tour.
“As Liam would say, the chance to perform at those shows would be ‘biblical’.”
