Hughie Fury has taken time out of his preparations for his world title clash with Joseph Parker this weekend to meet members of the Manchester United squad.

The United supporter challenges the unbeaten Parker for the WBO world heavyweight title at the Manchester Arena on Saturday.

Parker and Fury, himself unbeaten in 20 fights as a professional, will weigh in on Friday ahead of the biggest fight of the Briton's career to date.

But before stepping on the scales the British fighter visited United at their Aon Training Complex in Carrington.

'Great morning watching all these guys do their thing on the field,' he posted on Twitter.

Fury also posed for photos alongside the likes of Antonio Valencia, Chris Smalling, Romelu Lukaku, Marouane Fellaini and Eric Bailly. His dad and trainer Peter, meanwhile, was pictured meeting United boss Jose Mourinho.

On Thursday, too, the two fighters had a stare down at Old Trafford ahead of their final pre-fight press conference.

Fury, a 23-year-old Stockport native who previously received a good luck letter from Sir Alex Ferguson, fights in Manchester for the first time as a professional on Saturday.

Before his clash with Parker, boxing chiefs will honour fallen legend Jake LaMotta with a traditional 10-bell tribute.

LaMotta, a former world middleweight champion who fought the great Sugar Ray Robinson six times, died on Wednesday at the age of 95.

Fury's promoters Hennessy Sports confirmed the planned tribute is set to take place immediately prior to the main event at Manchester Arena.
