Tyson Fury statue ‘sculptured out of Lurpak’ leaves fans baffled as they fume at total ‘waste of money’
BOXING fans have been left shocked with Tyson Fury’s statue in London as it looks like it is made of “butter”.
The sculpture was erected in Potters Field Park, next to Tower Bridge, and it shows Fury holding his fist with a golden crown on his head.
The Gypsy King’s statue was accompanied by one of UFC legend Francis Ngannou, who were placed with a giant golden crown between them that read “Battle of the Baddest”.
The promotional initiative was put together ahead of the heavyweights’ imminent boxing clash on October 28 in Saudi Arabia.
The match has been received with mixed reaction as Ngannou has never boxed professionally before and some wonder how much competition he can provide for the undefeated Fury.
Many also continue to criticise the Saudi royal family’s efforts to cover their dismal human rights record via sportswashing.
However, this time many slammed the latest bit of advertising due to the material used.
Some even feel like the statues were made out of “Lurpak” and see it as a “waste of money”.
One fan tweeted: “What a waste of money.”
Another commented: “Is that sculptured out of lurpack [sic]?”
