Gypsy King lines up a knockout arena visit
The Gypsy King himself is heading to Wearside – for one night only.
As part of his Official After Party Tour, Tyson Fury will be at Rainton Arena on Friday, July 8.
Organised by Gold Star Promotions, the night is set to be one not to miss for fans of the WBC heavyweight champion who will get to meet and greet the living legend.
The sports star announced he would be embarking on a UK tour shortly after announcing his retirement from professional boxing.
General admission tickets are priced £40 for the night, which will feature a Q&A, a rare memorabilia auction, photo opportunity and raffle.
VIP tickets are £99 and give people the chance to meet and greet Tyson and have their photo taken with him by a professional photographer.
There’s also a Platinum VIP ticket, priced £299, which gives even more access, as well as a boxing glove signed by Tyson.
Tyson’s dad, John, will also be a special guest on the night.
John was also a professional boxer, with 13 fights under his belt during the 1980s and ‘90s, and went on to coach sons Tyson and Tommy.
