KEY POINTS

  • Tyson Fury could be appearing in the next "Expendables" movie starred by Sylvester Stallone
  • Stallone considers Fury one of the greatest boxers who ever lived
  • Fury is set to return to action this coming December

Tyson Fury is well-known for his antics when it comes to boxing, a perfect character that could make it easy for him to star in a Hollywood movie.

If things fall into place, that could happen soon.

The 34-year-old boxing champion appeared on The Jonathan Ross Show (via The Daily Mail) recently alongside Sylvester Stallone.

The 76-year-old actor explained why he thinks Fury would be a good fit for the franchise.

"I think he'd be fantastic, he's a natural force of nature and he has charisma so why wouldn't we want him? As long as he's on the other side beating up the other guys," Stallone stated.

After hearing that statement from the seasoned actor, "The Gypsy King" wasted no time responding to Stallone on a high note.

"100% in the future, it's something I'd love to explore. Who better to help me than the man himself Mr. Rocky Balboa? The guy I grew up watching on TV. A great opportunity and a great offer and something I'd love to have a go at later when I finish with the boxing career," the WBC and lineal heavyweight champion said.

This comes not long after the heavyweight boxer released his first debut single which was meant to raise funds for a mental health charity, Talk Club.

In the album, Fury gave his own rendition of Neil Diamond's song "Sweet Caroline."

This development is the latest in the colorful career of Fury.

After facing Dillian Whyte back in April, he abruptly announced his retirement.

"I've been in this game 20 years, I'm 34 in a few months. I said the third Wilder fight would be my last but I felt I owed the fans one last homecoming. This is definitely the end of 'The Gypsy King' and I went out with a bang. Tonight was amazing but this is the end," Fury mentioned at the time.

But in October, it was announced that Fury would be defending his WBC title against Derek Chisora.

The Fury vs. Chisora fight is set for December 3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
