Tottenham Hotspur fans will not enjoy what boxing superstar Tyson Fury has just said ahead of his fight at the club’s stadium.
Spurs fans find themselves in a very unfamiliar territory, with the Lilywhites sitting just a point above the relegation zone with seven league games left.
If Tottenham do get relegated for the first time in 48 years, it would be one of the most shocking developments of the Premier League era, arguably being up there with Leicester City’s title win in 2015-16.
Opposition fans are certainly enjoying Tottenham’s misery, and one of the biggest names in world sport has now also taken a jibe at Spurs.
Tyson Fury pokes fun at Tottenham’s struggles
Tyson Fury has fought at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which has played host to a number of high-profile sporting events other than football since its opening in 2019.
The 37-year-old, who has multiple world heavyweight championships to his name, will compete at N17 again this summer, but has now poked fun at Spurs’ form ahead of his return to the venue.
Fury said (via George Sessions): “It has been four years since I boxed in the UK… to come back to England and fight here, in a stadium at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, let’s hope I do a lot better than Tottenham right now because they are shocking!”
Opta’s supercomputer has predicted Tottenham’s relegation chances
Roberto De Zerbi has been tasked with the huge challenge of keeping Tottenham up, and Spurs fans will be hoping that the Italian can get an instant response from the players.
Opta’s Supercomputer has predicted that Spurs are still big favourites to stay up under De Zerbi, with West Ham deemed the most likely club to join Wolves and Burnley in the Championship next term.
The data analysis platform gives Tottenham a 27.1 per cent chance of relegation, while Hammers are deemed twice as likely to go down with 57.39 per cent.
