The heavyweight's ‘Gypsy King’ brand was embroidered on Morecambe's home and away shorts for the 2022-23 season.

The former world champion even claimed that same year that he was considering buying the club.

Fury told talkSPORT at the time: “I’m thinking about buying Morecambe Football Club, they’re in League One at the moment.

“So I was thinking I invest X amount of millions in them. Basically throw it at them and keep them going up.

“I’ve been offered to buy Morecambe Football Club. I own all the training facilities anyway and the training gym.

But it wasn't meant to be as Morecambe – currently bottom of table in the fourth division – couldn't avoid relegation.
