TYSON FURY has opened his gym doors to anyone who wants to spar the undefeated former heavyweight champion of the world.
The fallen boxing king is on another comeback trail after dropping the belts he wrenched from Wladimir Klitschko with a phenomenal 2015 performance.
But injuries and bust-ups with the British Boxing Board of Control and the anti-doping bodies have left the Traveller Gypsy King bloated and beltless.
Newly crowned heavyweight icon Anthony Joshua wants Fury to succeed with his comeback to set up a mammoth showdown between the two.
And Fury – though still carrying plenty of timber – is still showing signs of the skill and style that helped him chop down the Ukrainian legend in his adopted German home.
In a bid to attract sparring partners for a Thursday workout, Fury wrote on Twitter: “Is there any heavyweights in north west who fancy a move about this afternoon? #abitofsparring”
The Morecambe-based star had plenty of replies but very few seemed genuine as a raft of pictures and videos flooded in of mismatched potential opponents.
Greg Weir replied: “I’m 6ft 7 and based in Manchester mate. I was once known as the “hardest lad in Heywood” so give me £50 and I’ll spar you.”
