Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has delivered a message ahead of his visit to Carlisle on Sunday, saying he can't wait to come to the city.

Wythenshawe-born Fury, nicknamed the Gypsy King, who will take on Deontay Wilder in December, will be hosting a Sunday lunch at the city's Shepherds Inn, with the event due to start at midday.

In a video message, the 30-year-old said: "I'm looking forward to coming to Carlisle on Sunday.

"This is your last chance to see me before I go into camp to fight Deontay Wilder.

"So, if you want to see 'the Gypsy King', you better get down to Carlisle."
