England's 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Andorra might represent a chance for England to get one step closer to reaching the global football event but it is not the most important sporting event in the United Kingdom on Saturday. That honour goes to the Boxing Heavyweight match between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. The Fury-Wilder Trilogy is the one event everyone is talking about this weekend. 

And even the most popular football stars got in on the action and frenzy of the showpiece boxing match. Former Manchester United player, Zlatan Ibrahimovic sent a heartwarming support message to Englishman, Tyson Fury to wish him the best. 

The AC Milan striker said: "Tyson Fury, my friend, what's up. I hope you're well, I hope the camp went well, I hope your family is well, I hope everything is as it should be. I want to wish you big luck, even if you don't need it, you're on that level. Keep making history. People admire you, you're an inspiration for everybody so keep doing what you're doing, keep being yourself, that is most important.

"And do me a favour, just go out there and dance in the ring and do what you have to do. Take the belt home and keep going, keep striving, keep pushing. I wish you all the best. Take care and I'll be watching, so make me enjoy it."

Also, Manchester United forward, Jesse Lingard sent a message to the 'Gypsy King' saying: "I just want to wish you good luck in the fight. Make sure you smash it, stay true to yourself and be yourself."

Despite the match against Andorra, many English nationals will be keener on the Fury Vs Wilder 3 fight. This is the third instalment of the 3-part match. The first match ended in a draw while the second ended in a victory for Tyson Fury. The WBC Heavyweight title and The Ring Heavyweight titles are on the line for this match.
