Tyson Fury has been spotted buying a new car in the North East - and everyone is saying the same thing about the sportsman travelling all the way to the region to buy one. 

The heavyweight boxer, who comes from and currently lives in Greater Manchester, was spotted at Acklam Car Centre in Middlesbrough last week after picking up the keys to his new vehicle.

After Acklam Car Centre posted on their social media pages 'the champ has been in town', it prompted an excited reaction online from people who live in Teesside and beyond.

Taking to social media, one person said: "Need to hope he has no problems with his cars," while another added: "What a shame we weren’t there today." 

Despite some feeling gutted that they didn't get to see the boxing champion, most people were worried about what would happen if Acklam Car Centre didn't fulfil his order.

In the boxing world, Oleksandr Usyk has told Tyson Fury he will accept his terms for an April 29 undisputed heavyweight title fight at Wembley provided the Briton agrees to one special condition.

The much-anticipated showdown appeared to be in jeopardy after Fury, who turned down a previous date in Saudi Arabia, demanded 70 per cent of the total purse for the revised London date.

But Usyk posted a brief message on his social media on Friday in which he said he would accept Fury’s terms provided he makes a £1m donation to those affected by the war in Ukraine.

Usyk said: “Hey, greedy belly. I accept your offer – 70-30 split the fight with you on April 29 at Wembley.

“But you will promise to donate to Ukraine immediately after the fight, £1m. And for every day of your delay, you will pay one per cent of your purse to the Ukrainian people. Deal?”

Earlier, Fury had posted a video of his own laying out his terms for the contest and insisting Usyk’s percentage would fall by one per cent for every day the Ukrainian delayed.

Fury last fought in December when he stopped domestic rival Derek Chisora, while Usyk has not stepped in the ring since he successfully defended his titles with a second straight win over Anthony Joshua in Jeddah in August.

The World Boxing Association tweeted on Friday evening: “WBA president Gilberto Mendoza received confirmation from Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury’s teams that there is an agreement to make the unification fight. They request time to work on the contracts to close the deal. #UsykFury”
