TYSON FURY has challenged Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds to a fight after his Morecambe side were thrashed by the Hollywood A-lister’s Wrexham.
Paul Mullin scored a hat-trick as the Welsh club battered fellow League Two outfit Morecambe 6-0 on Saturday afternoon.
Fury, 35, is the most high-profile resident of the town of Morecambe.
And he took to social media to seek revenge following his local side’s defeat.
The WBC Heavyweight Champion shared a picture created by those who run the account for his Furocity drink.
It consisted of mocked up images of Fury and Reynolds’ famous character, Deadpool.

Meanwhile, Fury is preparing for an undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia on February 17.
The Gypsy King was thoroughly unconvincing in his split-decision win over former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou last month.
And he will have to perform far better if he is to beat Usyk as both men eye making history by becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.
