Heavyweight champion of the world Tyson Fury has revealed his intention to run for Prime Minister in 2030.

Whether the Gypsy King really does hang up his gloves remains to be seen, but he does have contingency plans in case his fighting days are done.

Having opened a new restaurant in Lancashire, Fury revealed his intention to run for Prime Minister when the year of 2030 comes around.
