Tyson Fury has abandoned his eight-bed Cheshire mansion after the boxer was banned from demolishing it, according to reports.
The once grand property in the area's exclusive "Golden Triangle" now sits uninhabitable and overrun with weeds.
The 36-year-old heavyweight had ambitious plans to transform the site before they were rejected, according to The Sun.
Pictures obtained by the newspaper show the property's entrance is completely overgrown, with a tiled roof in serious disrepair.

Whole rooms have been stripped bare, revealing crumbling brickwork throughout.
The roof has caved in and is badly in need of a major overhaul.
The property now stands in a perilous state, requiring significant renovation work.
This dilapidated property stands in stark contrast to Fury's main residence - a swish £1.7m mansion in Morecambe, just over an hour's drive away.
The boxer lives there with his wife Paris and their seven children after moving in 2020.

They previously lived in a more modest £550,000 home before upgrading to their current lavish property.
Fury had wanted to tear down the Cheshire property and replace it with a six-bed luxury home built from scratch, the report claims.
His £2.5 million Grand Designs-inspired dream included plans for a swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi and cinema.
The boxer was forced to withdraw the application last August, however, after facing multiple obstacles.
Instead, he received approval only for extensive renovations to the current home.

The renovation plans hit a major hurdle when bats were discovered nesting in the loft of the property.
As a protected species, this meant Fury needed to apply for a special licence from Natural England.
He was also told that birds flocking to his pond or fruit trees could pose a hazard to nearby jets at Manchester Airport.
The council also required Fury to submit a biodiversity strategy including "proposals for the provision of features for nesting birds including house sparrow".
He was told to include "gaps in garden fences to facilitate the movement of hedgehogs, native species planting".
