Tyson Fury memorabilia auction for Morecambe lifeboat crew to be rearranged

An auction of a piece of Tyson Fury memorabilia in aid of the Morecambe lifeboat crew has been postponed.

The event was due to take place at the Hurley Flyer on Westgate in Morecambe on Sunday evening after the World Cup Final.

But the pub said the event would not take place due to "unforeseen circumstances" and will be rescheduled for January.

A 6 by 3 board signed by the Morecambe-based world heavyweight champion Fury, his trainer Sugarhill Steward and heavyweight contender Joseph Parker was due to be auctioned to raise funds for Morecambe RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution).

The board was outside the Westgate pub advertising Fury's fight with Derek Chisora earlier this month.

The world heavyweight champ and his friends signed it while visiting the pub to watch World Cup football the day after he stopped Chisora in the 10th round to retain his title.

The RNLI will use the funds raised at the auction to buy a thermal image scanner to help find casualties in minutes and save lives.
