Tyson Fury claims to have been offered the chance to buy struggling League One side Morecambe.
Heavyweight world champion Fury announced earlier this season that he had agreed a sponsorship deal with his local side - but could not take his investment to a new level. The Shrimpers are currently rooted to the bottom of the third tier after winning just one of their opening 13 league games.
But Fury could ride to their rescue after revealing he is considering spending some of his huge fortune. Appearing on talkSPORT alongside former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan, Fury said: “Quick question, I’m thinking about buying Morecambe Football Club, they’re in League One at the moment. So I was thinking I invest X amount of millions in them."
