The two-time world heavyweight champion is coming to Leeds- and there will be a chance to Meet and Greet with The Gypsy King himself.
The Gypsy King will be spending time travelling across the UK as part of his Fury Fest victory tour, and those wanting to grab a selfie or chat with the global champion will have the opportunity to meet and greet Tyson Fury himself.
On Saturday 1 October 2022, Royal Armouries at Leeds Docks will play host to the boxing champion and feature a Q&A session where the audience can ask Fury and special guests including Tyson’s father, John Fury and other "featured fighters" questions.
There will also be ample opportunity to get involved with the Fury's at the sports auction, which is themed around "rare item memorabilia auction of stars from around the world", prize raffle and live entertainment, which ticket holders can also to look forward to during the one-night-only event.
There's only 1000 tickets in total on sale for Fury Fest- so make sure you get in whilst you can.
To attend the event, tickets range in price from £49 plus a one-off booking fee for general admission whilst VIP tickets- which include meet and greet, will set you back £99.
Those looking for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to grab a photo with Fury will want to consider the VVIP Package which offers meet and greet, a photograph and signed boxing glove from the heavyweight champion.
Earlier this week a sneak preview of what to expect was shared from Fury's Instagram page.
The event, hosted by Gold Star Promotions, along with local partners Candypants and Dhand Construction, is a rare opportunity to get up-close and personal with The Gypsy King on his only night in Leeds- so it's very likely tickets will sell out for this one.
One of Leeds' longest-running pub will be closing.
The Cross Keys in Holbeck is a lovely little boozer.
And it's got a fair bit of history too. Dating back to the early 1800s, the pub has stood on Water Lane for more than two centuries, with its story closely tied to Holbeck's industrial past.
Back when the area was one of Leeds' major manufacturing hubs, the Cross Keys was a local drinking spot for workers from the surrounding foundries and engineering works.
The pub itself fell into disrepair and was abandoned in 1980s, before being brought back to life during a major restoration in the 2000s.
But now, The Cross Keys is closing once again.

Announcing the sad news to Instagram, the pub said: "It's with a heavy heart that we share the Cross Key's will be closing its doors on the 3rd of October.
"The whole team thank you for your support during our time in business."
In classic Leeds fashion, the comments were flooded with support from fans of the pub alongside fellow local businesses.
One comment reads: "Absolutely gutted about this. I held my fiance (now husband’s) 30th at The Cross Keys and it was excellent and the team were so helpful and hospitable. So sad to hear this."
Whilst another said: "Gutted, the home of some great memories and significant pints in my life."
So, if you've had a significant pint in The Cross Keys and wish to bid it a proper farewell, you've got until Saturday 3 October to do so.
Brand-new ‘party pub’ to take over the old Revolution site on Call Lane after £600,000 investment
Clementine Hall
We hope you're ready to party Leeds, because a 'party pub' experience is coming to Call Lane.
Following a whopping £600,000 investment, Bonnie Rogues is preparing to open in the former Revolution site in Leeds city centre that will close this month.
After a major refurbishment, Leeds’ first Bonnie Rogues venue and the sixth site for the fast- growing UK brand will open in November 2026.
Designed as an all-day-to-night social destination, Bonnie Rogues combines live music, live sport, and late-night celebrations in one immersive venue.
From big nights out to spontaneous after-work drinks and even Sunday Roasts, Bonnie Rogues aims to offer something completely different from the traditional pub experience.
Expect live performances, crowd-involved entertainment and interactive moments in an atmosphere that flows seamlessly from day to night.
Russell Quelch, CEO of NEOS Hospitality, said, “Leeds has such a strong social scene and a real appetite for experience-led venues, so we think Bonnie Rogues will fit perfectly into the city.
"It’s a concept that brings together everything people love about going out - live music, sport, food, entertainment and great atmosphere, all in one place. We’re excited to bring something new to Leeds and can’t wait to welcome guests later this year.”
The Leeds opening forms part of a wider rollout of Bonnie Rogues venues across the UK, as NEOS Hospitality continues to expand its portfolio following its acquisition of multiple Revolution and Revolución de Cuba sites earlier this year.
We'll keep you updated with opening dates as and when we know more.
