John Fury's likely April Fool's prank has convinced a number of fans that he is running for Mayor of Greater Manchester after a jibe at politicians on Instagram today.
The former boxer and dad to world heavyweight champion Tyson has taken to social media to "announce" that he will be running for Mayor of his him hometown. But many fans also understand that a post on April 1 must be taken with a pinch of salt.
Fury is currently in camp with his son ahead of his world heavyweight title defence against Dillian Whyte later this month, but took time to go on Instagram and declare his plan to run in the 2024 Mayoral elections for Greater Manchester. The current Mayor, Labour's Andy Burnham has been in the position since 2017.
