Tyson Fury says he's going to 'call out Ryan Reynolds' when Wrexham play Morecambe
Tyson Fury has planned a call out of Hollywood megastar Ryan Reynolds for after his fight against Francis Ngannou - and has even revealed the date
Tyson Fury has cheekily hinted he wants to kickstart an exhibition boxing career against the most unlikely of opponents - Hollywood megastar Ryan Reynolds.
The WBC heavyweight champion takes on UFC icon Francis Ngannou in October and he was spotted eyeing up a new opponent behind the scenes at their recent London press conference. The 35-year-old even has a date in mind for his call out - with Morecambe taking on Wrexham on November 25.
Speaking behind the scenes on the Furocity YouTube channel, Fury asked a member of staff: "Amy, are you going to come down to the Wrexham vs Morecambe game?" His assistant replied she was planning to, with Fury then revealing: "I'm going to call out Ryan Reynolds."
