A racehorse WBC Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury allowed to use his name, romped home at 20/1 in its debut race at Doncaster.
Ridden by Megan Nicholls, Tyson Fury won by a length and a half as delighted boxing fans scooped big winnings.
The three-year-old was given the famous title earlier this year, with the blessing of ‘The Gypsy King.’ The colt could now be in line for some big races.
TYSON FURY COLT

Fury is due to fight Deontay Wilder in a trilogy battle later this year following a delay due to coronavirus.
