Former heavyweight champion of the world 'Iron' Mike Tyson threw his weight behind England's World Cup 2018 bid on a recent visit to Leeds.

Tyson visited Leeds, a potential host city should England stage the 2018 World Cup, last weekend where he was guest of honour at a boxing dinner staged at the club's Conference and Exhibition Centre.

Prior to the dinner, Mike posed with a Back The Bid scarf and also signed a Leeds United shirt.

The dinner, which included a boxing competition and live music, was attended by over 700 people.

In address to the guests, Tyson said he felt "humbled" to be in Leeds, particularly given the strong presence of Armed Forces who were guests on the night.
