And their mission was to "find" Game of Thrones star Bjornsson following talk of an exhibition bout.
But the former world's strongest man was instead in Rome filming a movie, so Fury had to find other ways to entertain himself.

He said: "Do you know the funny this is - people love to do deals and then ask for more or change the goalposts.

It would free up Fury to fight Bjornsson in a extraordinary exhibition.
With the Gypsy King still keeping hold of his WBC title, an undisputed decider remains on the cards.
