Morecambe FC is at the center of a takeover bid by boxing champion Tyson Fury and former footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The duo is reportedly considering buying the club and making a Netflix documentary. The news comes after a stunt by two professional wrestlers at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium, where they wore Morecambe FC shirts with 'Fury' and 'Zlatan' on the back. The wrestlers, Ryan Hunter and Omega Luke, posed for photos in the club bar, wearing the shirts. The stunt was part of the first ever pro wrestling event held outdoors at the football ground, a collaboration between Morecambe FC and London/Portsmouth-based promoters Revolution Pro Wrestling. Morecambe FC officials, including members of senior management, were in attendance. The club has been owned since August 2025 by Panjab Warriors, who bought the club from Bond Group Investments after a long sales process. In 2022, shortly after the club went up for sale, Tyson told TalkSPORT that he'd been offered the chance to buy Morecambe FC and was thinking it over. But in February 2023, 'The Gypsy King told us: "I got asked would I want to buy the club, basically I said no, I'm not interested, that was it, and the papers will make what they will of it. "I think it was a good story for them to say Tyson's interested in buying Morecambe Football Club. "I've been sponsoring the Morecambe's Ladies team. I don't know many people who sponsor ladies football. "Then I got the opportunity to sponsor the men's team as well. It probably helped the club out a little bit, with paying some bills." The boxer moved with his family to the Isle of Man late last year. But the former champion still has links to Morecambe, including his gym at the Mazuma complex. The stadium hosted a press conference for his undisputed world heavyweight title fight.
