Tyson Fury sends message to knife attack victim fighting for life in hospital as teenager charged

TYSON FURY has sent a message of support to a victim of a knife attack.

Craig North, from Tilbury, is currently in a critical condition in hospital and Fury sent him well wishes and told him to keep fighting.


As reported by Thurrock Nub News, Fury said: "Craig it's Tyson Fury here. Keep fighting Craig you'll get through this. All the best."

Craig was attacked on Sunday, January 2 and is reportedly fighting for his life – Fury has been one of many to wish him well.

Meanwhile, a 19-year-old from Tilbury has been charged in connection with the attack.

Detective Inspector Julie Gowen told the news-site: “There will continue to be a policing presence in the area in the coming days and I would urge anyone with any information on this incident to come forward and speak to us if you have not already done so.

“You can speak to officers as they patrol, you can report information to us or indeed anonymously to Crimestoppers.

“I understand incidents such as this will naturally concern the community, but we continue to believe there is no wider threat to the public.”
