Tyson Fury is preparing to make a £25,000 auction bid to buy the biggest gold crucifix in the UK to save it from being melted down. The Gypsy King, 34, says he is willing to splash the cash on the nine carat 9ins-long cross to save it from the 'scrap pile' and add to his collection of flashy jewellery. Andreo Montanino, 33, originally bought the crucifix chain from Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter in memory of his late grandmother who was a devout Roman Catholic and would have thought it was a sacrilege to meltdown such an item.
He hoped the 'special' piece would attract the attention of sports stars like Fury or Anthony Joshua, who have both been vocal about their religious beliefs, when he revealed he was selling it next month. And the heavyweight champion, a Christian, said on Thursday he would step in to make a bid of £25,000 to save the piece of jewellery when it goes under the hammer with Hansons Auctioneers. It is a 9ct gold belcher chain which has 28 13mm links, one hallmarked 'Sheffield 1997 JH & S' and weighs 1,145gms in total.
Fury wrote on Instagram: 'Don't know who owns this but seen it online. I will give £25k for it to save it from the scrap 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. 'Andreo, also a senior buyer at Hansons, from Trowell, Nottinghamshire, said: 'My nan would have hated the idea of the chain being scrapped.
