Tyson Fury offered role in Hollywood film by A-list legend Sylvester Stallone

TYSON FURY has been offered a Hollywood role in a Sylvester Stallone blockbuster.

The Gypsy King revealed this week that his old bad-boy persona was all act to help him build a scary reputation and sell tickets on the back of controversy.

And Rocky and Expendables legend Stallone has heard about the 31-year-old heavyweight's appetite for drama and been in the phone.

Fury, speaking on the Russell Howard Hour about his incredible new parts in WWE and Robbie Williams' new super-group, spilled the beans.

The 6ft 9in gravel-voiced star said: "I have managed to do all of these things in the last year, a single with Robbie Williams, an autobiography and now I have had an offer from Sylvester Stallone to do a movie.

"It's not another Rocky, I believe it's an action film that they are looking for a villain to play the bad guy in - and probably get beat up by Stallone at the end."

Boxing super-fan Stallone would have been well aware of Fury's own crazy life script and he reached out in June after another thrilling chapter.

The Brit made his Las Vegas debut against Tom Schwarz, his first of an £80million five-night deal with ESPN, and paid tribute to Stallone's iconic franchise.

In true Rocky style, he entered the ring to James Brown’s ‘Living in America’, with dancers performing in the background.

And the homage was spotted by Sly, who has used MMA stars like Ronda Rousey, Randy Couture and Victor Ortiz in previous Expendable hits, sparking a gushing message.

Stallone said: “Thank you to the amazing real life champion, Tyson Fury!

“It’s so incredibly gratifying to see these moments live on.

“ Yo, it ain’t over til it’s over!“ sorry I meant 1985, still, it’s amazing!”
