Tyson Fury fan creates knitted ‘Gypsy King’ post box topper in his honour

A big fan of world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury has created a special post box topper on a Morecambe street in his honour.

Val Sawczyn knitted and crocheted a Tyson Fury doll and has placed it on top of a Royal Mail post box on Oxcliffe Road in Morecambe, with the help of her stepdaughter Cassie.

“I’m a big Tyson Fury fan, I follow him on Instagram,” said Val.

“I hope he’ll see it and take a selfie with it!”

Val had previously created a post box topper outside the post office on Heysham Road, to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, with her friend Sue Jones.

So now Val has done one for the Queen, and for The Gypsy King!

She said her next creation could be in Bare, so keep your eyes peeled!

*Other local people have also been knitting and crocheting post box toppers to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s 70-year reign.

If you have created one to go on display in our local area, please feel free to send a photo of it to newsdesk@beyondradio.co.uk
