TYSON FURY’S big fight preparations have been rocked after an arson attack on his Morecambe home. It has also been revealed that the heavyweight hopeful has also been receiving threatening texts ahead of Saturday’s ten round fight against Joey Abell at London’s Copper Box Arena.

Fury’s prized £12,000 Volkswagen Passat was set on fire, an attempt was made to torch his BMW, and in all more than £20,000 of damage was caused during Sunday night’s attack, but the boxer, his wife Paris and their children Venezuela and Prince were away at his training base in Cannes.
