Huge plans for expansion

The chain went down south in August by taking on a unit outside the Broad Street Mall in Reading town centre.

And it's not stopping there as owner Tauseef Malik having even bigger ambitions from next year onwards.

Mr Malik has big plans for his fast food restaurant chain "We have got 10 stores to open in 2025 (in places like Sheffield, London, Glasgow, Newcastle, and Liverpool) and then we have got plans to open at least 200 within the next 10 years or so," Mr Malik told the Telegraph & Argus.

"It is just the demand. It does well everywhere.

"Our customer base is there so why not (expand)?"

Boxing stars love Mr T's

Jones Jnr is one of the best to ever do it in the squared circle, winning world titles across four different weight divisions and beating the likes of Bernard Hopkins and James Toney along the way.

Beterbiev followed in the footsteps of the American great by beating Dmitry Bivol to become the undisputed light heavyweight champion in October.

Earlier this month, super bantamweight Masoud picked up his most significant win to date - outpointing the previously undefeated Liam Davies.

It is not the first time, Mr T's has attracted stars from the fight sports world with Floyd Mayweather, Tyson Fury, and Deontay Wilder all visiting down the years.

"We are expecting a big crowd at the Great Horton Road branch (on Sunday).

"We started off with Floyd Mayweather then we had Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury, Tommy Fury, and most recently the UFC star Khamzat Chimaev in Manchester last year.

"It suits well with the brand. Mr T's is known for its funky design and inside the shops we have got pictures of boxers and the younger generation lean towards them."

Mr Malik encouraged people to head down to his Great Horton Branch at 2.30pm on Sunday for a meet and greet with the boxers.
