Tyson Fury has been backed into 3/1 from 16/1 to get the UK Number One this Christmas
Boxer Tyson Fury has been backed into 3/1 with bookies from as big as 16/1 to be this year's Christmas Number One ahead of his debut single being released next week.
Fury's cover of Neil Diamond hit 'Sweet Caroline' is being described as 'England's unofficial World Cup song' and should prove popular in the charts.
William Hill make Fury 3/1 to get the Christmas Number One this year and it will surely be achievable if next week's single gets to Number One.
