TYSON FURY has revealed the one England player he would like to go drinking with in Qatar.
The WBC heavyweight champion, 34, defends his title against Derek Chisora in their trilogy fight at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night.
Fury is the overwhelming favourite to leave North London victorious and has vowed to fly to Qatar to drink with the England fans at the World Cup immediately after his win.
And when SunSport exclusively sat down with the undefeated Gypsy King, he confirmed keeper Jordan Pickford is the one member of the Three Lions squad he would want to have a pint with.
When the question was posed to the British boxer, he replied: “Jordan Pickford. He seems like a laugh to go on a drink with.”
Fury has claimed he’ll “get messy again” in Qatar when rather than if Gareth Southgate’s team beat Senegal in Sunday’s last-16 clash.

On a visit to the Sun HQ, heavyweight legend Tyson, 34, joked the alcohol ban at the stadiums was “no bother” for him.
He said: “I’ll put it up my top. Who’s going to stop me? I’m not an alcoholic, I’m just a devil for the drink.”
Fury plans a “wild lads’ holiday” at the football without wife Paris, 32, or their six children.
The Morecambe-born fighter, who bought £1,000-a-time rounds for England fans at Euro 2016 in France, vowed: “I’m 100 per cent going to get messy with the fans. I’m known for that.

HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE WORLD CUP
“I’m going to sneak a few cases in my suitcase. They can have anything they want — whatever gets them going. Think of Euro 2016 when I went to Nice and bought 200 fans Jägerbombs.”
Despite his planned boozy antics at the World Cup, Tyson has revealed he will stay sober for Christmas, saying: “I’m going to try and stay away from the alcohol and eat sensible and eat clean.
“It’s only a four-week period. If I can get through that then January we will be here and back to work.
“I intend to just stay on the straight and narrow and spend time with the family.”
