Lancashire based boxer Tyson Fury has announced his new career move and it may surprise you!
Morecambe boxer Tyson has joined former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney to co-manage Soccer Aid's charity England team.
Ex England forward Wayne, 39, is stepping out of retirement to also play in the team's annual match, which raises money for children's aid charity Unicef.
Former heavyweight champion of the world Tyson, who announced he had retired earlier this year, has not ruled out substituting himself in during the charity competition.
Since 2006 - when Unicef UK ambassador Robbie Williams co-founded the concept - the charity has raised more than £106 million.
The charity match starring Tyson, Wayne and co will be on June 15 at Old Trafford in Manchester.

What has Tyson said about his new football career?
The 36-year-old dad of seven said: " Tyson Fury : England manager. Who would ever have thought it?
"I have had some big fights in my career and the prospect of leading my England team to victory this June fills me with just as much excitement as any heavyweight fight.
"Everyone knows that I am a huge Manchester United fan too, so it's even more special for me that the game is at Old Trafford this year - and I get to manage one of my heroes, Wayne Rooney . How can we lose?
"The work Unicef does all around the world is so special and so important. I really hope that you can come along and support us this summer."

What have some of the other celebrities said?
Ex-Plymouth Argyle manager Rooney said: "I enjoyed the last time I was involved at Soccer Aid so much that when the call came for the 2025 match it was a really easy decision.
"I'm a big boxing fan, so to do it alongside Tyson Fury is fantastic. It really sums up how brilliant Soccer Aid is. We have this in common: we'll both be taking it incredibly seriously.
"Obviously it's great to lace-up the old boots again - and see some old friends - but the cause is the real reason we are doing this.
"Unicef needs our help. So, I promise we'll put on a show for you this June if you buy your tickets to help raise money for Unicef and for children around the world."
Top Gear and Take Me Out star Paddy added: "This year's Soccer Aid match at Old Trafford is going to be an absolute belter. I genuinely love this event - it's a highlight of the year for me.
"I've been involved for many years now and still can't believe it has become the world's biggest charity football match. I don't run around quite as much as I used to, which is why I play in goal now - I'm representing all the dads out there, which is funny because the game takes places on Father's Day ."
