.Tyson_Fury is said to want to buy it for his family
The world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury is set to take over a Retford pub as the current owner prepares to retire. Barry Brown, 65, has been running The Brick and Tile on Moorgate for the last five years but is now looking to hand over the pub, which he owns outright.
Fury, 32, was born in Manchester and lives with his family in Morecambe. But he does have more local connections through his wife Paris, with the couple tying the knot in Doncaster. Fury announced his retirement in August after successfully defending his WBC crown against Dillian Whyte in April. And the representatives of Fury and Anthony Joshua are now working on a contract on an all-British super-fight for this December.
The Brick and Tile was built in 1880 and it is now described as a "traditional watering hole", boasting a pool, darts and dominoes team. The pub doesn't serve food and upstairs there are four letting rooms. Mr Crossley added: "I know that Tyson is quite a controversial character but it will attract a lot more interest into the town so it is a positive thing. We moved here three weeks ago and it is a lovely town and this will make a good addition."
Andrew Sharp, 56, who was visiting from Doncaster and was looking into setting up a stall on Retford's market, said: "There certainly won't be any trouble in that place if you've got somebody like Tyson Fury running it. Having a big name like him here will probably attract more people to Retford and that could be good as long as it's all managed properly."
