Tyson Fury ‘has no interest' in buying Morecambe with local club days away from National League expulsion
BOXING icon Tyson Fury has no interest in buying crisis club Morecambe, according to reports. The 105-year-old side are currently on the brink of extinction due to financial turmoil. 2 2 Jason Whittingham has failed to sell the club, resulting in player and staff wages being unpaid. The Shrimps have also suffered transfer embargos and points deductions in recent months. And in July the National League stipped Morecambe of their league membership. The club's first three fixtures of the season were subsequently postponed, with players left in limbo. Members of the squad have remained professional by turning up to training despite not being paid. However, this week they were forced to leave the practice pitches because there is no insurance to cover them if they get injured. Amid the ongoing crisis at the club, heavyweight legend Fury has been linked with a takeover. The Gypsy King has lived in Morecambe for over a decade and has his own gym located at the corner of the club's ground. Three years ago he revealed that he was considering an investment during an interview with talkSPORT. However, the Telegraph has claimed that he currently has no interest in buying the Shrimps. Fury sponsored Morecambe during the 2022-23 season, with his signature 'Gypsy King' brand featured on the club's home and away shirts.

Tyson Fury the Grand National winner? Boxing legend aiming for a knockout over jumps with £50,000 horses
COULD we soon be talking about Tyson Fury the legendary boxer - and Grand National-winning horse owner? That dream recently took a step closer after it was confirmed the former heavyweight king has moved into jumps racing. 2 2 Big Gypsy King, a three-year-old filly owned by Fury and his manager Spencer Brown, has already had success on the track, winning on the Flat at Chelmsford in May. But now Fury is keen for success in the National Hunt game - after buying two horses for £50,000 and sending them into training with Jimmy Moffatt. Top bloodstock agent Jerry McGrath signed for former Joseph O'Brien horse Cossack Chach at the Goffs UK October Sale in Doncaster last year. Fury and Brown splashed £36,000 on the two-time winner and also bought £14,000 Sea The Clouds, who's already won at Moffatt's local track Cartmel. Bosses at the Lancashire venue - not far from Fury's Morecambe home - are busy planning for the boxer's possible arrival during one of their summer racedays. Fury - who is reportedly eyeing up a mega-fight with Anthony Joshua - has been to Cartmel races before but not with two potential runners of this quality. Speaking to the Racing Post, trainer Moffatt - who landed one of most ridiculous wins ever on The Steward at Newcastle - said: "I met Spencer at Cartmel races last August and he said he wanted to go through Cartmel this summer. "Tyson has not been to the yard yet but there was talk he was going to make an appearance at Cartmel this summer, although I see they're getting busy again now. "I saw him at the track three years ago so he's certainly been there at least once." Moffatt has high confidence Sea The Clouds - who he said was a 'steal' at the price - will love the fast summer conditions. He was beaten just a nose over 2m6f at Cartmel in May - and won at the track for his previous trainer Jamie Snowden this time last year. Coassack Chach, a five-year-old gelding, is 'more of a chasing type and hopefully we'll have a bit of fun with him'. Moffatt added: "We're giving him a couple of months off before starting him for a proper winter campaign. "He's a proper chaser – a great big horse with a big engine." .
