Champion boxer Tyson Fury is preparing to make a £25,000 bid to buy the biggest gold crucifix chain in the UK - to save it from being melted down. The bling-loving Gypsy King stepped in after a fan asked for help to save it on social media.
Andreo Montanino bought it in memory of his late gran after coming across it in the window of a gold bullion dealer. He said he was devastated when he lost her 18 months ago, but couldn't face handing over the huge piece of jewellery to get melted down.
It is understood to be the largest in the UK and will now be auctioned off. Andreo, 33, wanted the two-time world heavyweight champion from Wythenshawe to buy it - and Fury now says he is willing to splash the cash on the nine carat, nine inch-long piece to stop it from being scrapped.
Fury took to social media after spotting Andreo's story. Weighing 1.5kg, Andreo snapped up the crucifix in Birmingham's iconic Jewellery Quarter as his gran was a devout Roman Catholic, reports The Mirror.
He hoped it would attract the attention of sports stars like Fury when he revealed he was selling it with Hansons Auctioneers next month. The boxer took to Instagram to say he would step in to make a bid of £25,000 when it goes under the hammer. Fury wrote: "Don't know who owns this but seen it online. I will give £25k for it to save it from the skrap (sic) pile."
Hansons Auctioneers shared the comment and added: "We're thrilled that the legend that is @tyson_fury may want to buy this magnificent gold cross and chain to save it from being scrapped."
Helen Smith, head of jewellery at Hansons, said: "Tyson Fury would be perfect as he is a devout Christian. Like Andreo’s nan, he would appreciate the religious significance and symbolism of the item."
