Tyson Fury Takes Fan Phone Calls, Invites Them For a Run

By Terence Dooley

Manchester’s Tyson Fury, 24-0 (18), gave his fans a boost yesterday after Paris Fury, his wife, accidently posted his mobile phone number to her Twitter feed.  Instead of deleting the Tweet, Fury fielded phone calls for an entire afternoon before pledging to do it again at some point in the future.

The 26-year-old went one step further today by posting the details of his afternoon run and encouraging fans to join him on it.  ‘I'm going joging on Morecambe front @5pm if any1 wants to come meeting point battery pub. Every1 Wellcome #Workout&boxingtalk,’ he Tweeted.

Fury is the mandatory challenger to Wladimir Klitschko, who has said that the British boxer will be his next opponent.  Mick Hennessy, who works closely with Fury, revealed that the bout is likely to head to purse bids when discussing it earlier today.  Fury, though, is unlikely to be intimidated by the idea of travelling to Germany for his first world title fight.
