TYSON FURY exhibited his softer side during a visit to an orphanage in Bangkok.
The current WBC heavyweight champion has been no stranger to controversy of late having recently called out Francis Ngannou, Joe Rogan and Anthony Joshua on social media.
Fury is on a training camp retreat in Thailand as he prepares for his next fight, whoever that may be against.
Fury alleged that talks with Anthony Joshua's camp about a fight in August or September collapsed despite him sending a contract to Joshua.
It would appear that Fury's team favour a fight this summer but are having trouble finding an opponent.
He captioned an Instagram post after beginning training in Thailand with: "Training camp in Thailand is on fire!

The failure to make a fight happen with Joshua follows on from Fury's slated fight with Oleksandr Usyk to unify the heavyweight belts not going ahead.
The fight was set to go ahead in March but Usyk's team pulled the plug amid accusations that Fury's camp kept moving the goalposts.

Taking a break from his many social media feuds, Fury visited the HDF Mercy Centre in Bangkok.
Speaking on the experience he wrote on Instagram: "Today was a humbling experience as I visited an orphanage.

"Spending time with these amazing kids reminded me of the power of love and the importance of giving back.
"As a father, I believe every child deserves a chance at a bright future."
He went on to quote Nelson Mandela.
He wrote: "As Nelson Mandela once said, 'There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.' "
He added: "It's not just a responsibility as a heavyweight champion, but also a pillar of my faith in Christianity to help those in need.
"Let's all remember that every child deserves love, care, and opportunities to thrive."
