Tyson Fury has spoken about how he has given up watching football and prefers a day at the races instead.<\/p>\n
The former heavyweight boxing<\/a> champion enjoyed an afternoon at Cartmel on Bank Holiday Monday, where two of his horses were running.<\/p>\n Fury started the day by watching Big Gypsy King finish fifth of seven runners in the 2m1f juvenile hurdle, nearly 40 lengths behind hot favourite Dignam.<\/p>\n Beforehand he joined his manager Spencer Brown to talk about the pair’s interest in the sport, which has recently intensified by adding several more thoroughbreds to their stable.<\/p>\n Fury, wearing sunglasses and a hat in 25C temperatures, told Racing TV viewers that he no longer supports Manchester United<\/a> or England. The Red Devils are 16th in the Premier League<\/a> after a slow start to the season.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Tributes paid after former jockey Bruce Raymond dies aged 82<\/a>READ MORE: Queen Camilla reveals surprising hobby on visit to York races as horse disappoints<\/a><\/p>\n “I’m not a supporter of football really,” he said. “I used to support United but because they’re in the s*** now I’m no supporter of any football teams anymore.<\/p>\n “I used to support England as well but when they lost to Iceland in the Euros in 2016 that was me and football completely done with. Now I’m into horse racing<\/a>, get up!”<\/p>\n Fury added that he has not watched National League side Morecambe FC play, the club closest to where he lives. The Mirror<\/a> reported yesterday that the two-time world<\/a> champion had sold a six-bedroom home<\/a> overlooking the bay for \u00a3700,000.<\/p>\n The property with \u201cpanoramic coastal views\u201d was bought by Fury and his wife Paris for \u00a3480,000 in 2015.<\/p>\n Fury’s trip to Cartmel came just weeks after he saw Big Gypsy King run at Doncaster<\/a> on the flat for his previous handler Oliver Cole.<\/p>\n The filly is now with James Moffatt, who also trains a couple of new recruits they found at the sales.<\/p>\n Brown told Racing TV: “We’ve got five horses together; we’ve got various Flat horses and three good jumps horses. She [Big Gypsy King] ran on the Flat at Doncaster two weeks ago in a 0-60 handicap, so we thought we’d give her a run out. She’s been jumping for three weeks.”<\/p>\n One of the recent additions to Moffatt’s stable, \u00a314,000 buy Sea The Clouds, was also in action at Cartmel.<\/p>\n A winner last time out there for the team, this time the mount of three-time champion jump jockey Brian Hughes was pulled up with a couple of fences to jump in the Wicks Group Cavendish Cup Handicap Chase.<\/p>\n Current titleholder Sean Bowen came home in front on 9-4 favourite Olivers Travels, a horse trained by his brother Mickey.<\/p>\n The BHA said the race was late off and an update on X read: “There will be a delay to race 4, 4:05pm on the card @Cartmelrace<\/a> due to an injured horse on the track.”<\/p>\n![\"Tyson](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1756171522_12_0_Screenshot-2025-08-02-at-184206-2.jpg\")
