Carl Froch has passionately defended Tyson Fury following the 35-year-old's recent night out in Morecambe.
Fury recently lost his first professional boxing match, with Oleksandr Usyk winning on points last month.
The Briton has admitted to past issues with addiction, with Fury previously confirming he's suffered issues with alcohol and drugs.
His night out in Morecambe has sparked alarm, with the 35-year-old's inner circle said to be 'concerned' about the fighter, who was seen hitting the floor.

Froch has been critical of Fury when it comes to boxing, with the retired star predicting Usyk would win their bout last month.
But the Cobra, speaking on his YouTube channel, has now fiercely defended his compatriot while also sending him a message of encouragement.
“He’s had a night out, let his hair down," he said.
"He’s had too much to drink, it’s not a big issue. The guy who got the phone out should be ashamed of himself.
"He’s gone out, he’s had a couple of beverages, he’s had a good time and some t**t has filmed him and it’s ended up out there.
"But I think Tyson will now get back on his training, focus on his fight in December.
"It’s the rematch against somebody he lost to and he’s gonna want to avenge that.
“I hope, and when I say it sincerely from the heart, I hope he’s coping with it. Cause we want to see him back.
"Tyson Fury can get them belts back to Britain and then have a few more fights before he decides to hang the gloves up.
"Just get back on it. Come on Tyson, get back in there. Get back in that gym.
"Believe in yourself and get this fight won."
Fury broke his silence earlier this week, with the heavyweight resuming training ahead of his rematch with Usyk later in the year.
The two men will battle it out for a second time on December 21.
And Fury claims he has seen his 'shortcomings' and 'knows' what he must do in order to come out on top.
"Listen up! I’ve conquered everything in boxing – titles, records, the lot," he said.

"But I’ve never had to come back from a loss.
"On December 21st in Riyadh, in the heart of the kingdom, the king will reclaim his throne and become undisputed. @usykaa, I’m coming for you! Get ready for the Gypsy King!
"The path to redemption is all mine.
"I know what I have to do, I saw my shortcomings and best believe I am inevitable."
Fury doesn't appear to be too fazed from his recent night out.
This is really sad. Before the inevitable pile on, consider that we know Tyson Fury faces many demons. Unfortunately, unlike most of us, he faces them publicly for the world to see

Instead, his sole focus is on beating Usyk later in the year.
And whether he's able to achieve that goal remains to be seen, with Usyk currently the favourite to reign supreme.
