RYAN Reynolds' Deadpool has been challenged to a boxing match by heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury.
It comes after Morecambe - where the boxer now calls home - was beaten 6-0 by Ryan's Wrexham in League Two at the weekend.
Following his hometown side's hammering, the WBC heavyweight champion took to Instagram to share a mock-up image of himself fighting Reynolds' popular movie character, Deadpool.
He asked fans to vote via social media who they believed would come out on top!

The image included the Morecambe and Wrexham badges, with the boxer already teasing on more than one occasion his desire to get into the ring for a bout with the Hollywood actor.
Asked in September if he would attend the game between the two teams, Fury said: "Yeah, I'm going to call out Ryan Reynolds."
A Paul Mullin hattrick, and goals from Jacob Mendy and James Jones, combined with an own goal, gave the Red Dragons their 10th win of the season as they moved up to second in the league.
