The world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury is set to take over a Retford pub as the current owner prepares to retire. Barry Brown, 65, has been running The Brick and Tile on Moorgate for the last five years but is now looking to hand over the pub, which he owns outright.
The pub is currently on the market, with offers in the region of £300,000 being accepted. Mr Brown now says that he has received an offer that he likes - and that it has come from The Gypsy King.
Mr Brown said: "He has made two visits to the pub and he wants to buy it for his family mainly. I think he has some family in Treswell and he's now looking to make this one of his business interests.
