[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, boxing champion Tyson Fury plans to join forces with Zlatan Ibrahimović to acquire Morecambe FC, the lower-league club nicknamed “the Shrimps” in his hometown. The two sporting icons were spotted together while filming a World Cup commercial in Warsaw, Poland this week. A source revealed: “They were shooting a World Cup advertisement in Warsaw, and Tyson talked to him about buying his hometown club Morecambe. They intend to purchase the club and co-produce a Netflix documentary titled Rise of Morecambe.” The 37-year-old Fury already has close ties with Morecambe FC. His main training gym is located at the club’s home stadium. He bought the two-storey training facility at Mazuma Stadium back in 2020, which also serves as the headquarters of the Tyson Fury Foundation.
The editor believes that Tyson Fury and Zlatan Ibrahimović have been close friends for years. When Ibrahimović played for Manchester United, he often worked out with Fury. It remains uncertain whether they truly intend to take over Morecambe FC.
