Man issues Tyson Fury plea after buying 'UK's biggest gold chain'

A man who bought the UK's biggest gold crucifix is putting it up for auction, and has offered boxer Tyson Fury first dibs.

Andreo Montanino, 33, bought the chunky 1.5kg treasure in honour of his beloved late nan who was a devout Roman Catholic. He spotted the nine carat 9ins-long cross in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter and snapped it up over fears it could be melted down.

He is now selling the cross and chain and hopes gold-loving sports' stars, including boxing heroes Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, might be keen bidders.
