Tyson Fury: England should beat 'non footballing nation' Iceland 10-nil

Tyson Fury has called on England to give their thousands of supporters in France "something to cheer about" ahead of their Euro 2016 match with Iceland.

Speaking to ITV News in Nice ahead of the England's knockout match at the Allianz Riviera on Monday, the British world heavyweight champion said Roy Hodgson's side "should beat Iceland 10-nil" because it "isn't even a footballing nation."

Fury, who used to live in the south of France, said he feels "like the leader of the pack" amongst England fans in the city.

Last week it emerged Fury has postponed next month's rematch with Wladimir Klitschko due to an ankle injury he incurred during training.

The fight had been scheduled to take place in Manchester on 9 July.

Asked if it will happen any time soon, he said: "I wouldn't have thought so, not any time soon. Maybe October. I think it's being rescheduled for October."
