Tyson Fury tells 'sleepy dossers' to go to bed in Xmas song with Robbie Williams

This is the song Tyson Fury hopes will propel him to the top of Christmas chart .

The former heavyweight world champion has teamed up with Robbie Williams to produce 'Bad Sharon' which tells the tale of a boozy festive party.

The song was released on Friday, the same week Fury released his autobiography Behind The Mask.

And he revealed how the collaboration came about.

"Robbie was at one of my fights in Las Vegas," he told Virgin Radio. "He came backstage to see me and he said to me, 'You are a bit of a singer, you sing after your fights, would you like to do a Christmas song with me?'

"I said for sure. I'm a massive fan and we got hooked up and got it done and he's going to be out in a couple of days.

"I was trying to fit it in and I was supposed to come down to a studio in London to record it, but I never got enough time. So what happened was they came to my living room, at home, set up a studio and I recorded it at home.

"The song tells the story of a Christmas party in which Williams and Fury advise partygoers to "get off their faces".Fury even manages to squeeze in the word "dosser" when telling kids to go to bed before Santa Claus comes.
