Celebrity Evertonian Riddick Bowe has claimed that he is contemplating relocating to Merseyside to be closer to his beloved Blues.

The former undisputed heavyweight boxing champion of the world took to social media to announce that he was thinking about moving to Liverpool to support Everton.

The native New Yorker who hails from Brooklyn took part in a Twitter exchange with fans asking them to guess where he was living now and ended with his revelation about a possible transatlantic switch.

Nicknamed “Big Daddy”, the 6ft 5in retired pugilist won 43 of his 45 professional fights but in recent years he has been a vocal supporter of Everton.

Bowe courted controversy last year when responding to being repeatedly pushed to justify why he was an Everton fan.

After declaring: “Ima getting sick of peeps asking me why ima Evertonian fan if they was real fans they wud know u dont choose to be one you get chosen.” (Sic).

He followed this up with: “If you a LFC fan i hope you die. Thats whats up. #EFC #bowetalks”, adding: “Do my EFC family want me to apologise to LFC fans? Evertonians have a say in what i say we a team partner. thats whats up,” before saying sorry by writing: “Sincere apologise to any LFC fans i offended. Take a joke partners! We all die in the end. Aint u see my second tweet! GO BLUE! Love to all.”
