Tyson Fury’s proposed bout with Dillian Whyte could be set to take place at Old Trafford, reports The Sun.
Fury is one of Manchester United’s most high-profile fans. He has never shied away from giving his opinion on Red Devils current affairs, such is his adoration for the club.
With the Gypsy King not having fought on UK soil since August 2018, a bout at Old Trafford could be the perfect homecoming for both him and his Manchester contingent of fans.
According to The Sun, the Manchester United home ground, along with Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, have been put forward as two possible options to host his next fight.
Fury is expected to be taking on compatriot Dillian Whyte, the mandatory challenger to his WBC heavyweight title. An all-British affair at Old Trafford would be quite the spectacle.
The heavyweight champion would head into the fight as the overwhelming favourite. If he were to fight at Old Trafford, he’d be risking doing ‘an Anthony Joshua’ by losing in his own neck of the woods.
That’s unlikely to put Fury off the idea, though. After all, he’d be fighting on the back of a triumphant trilogy over in the United States – he really would fight anyone, anywhere, any place…
