British boxing icon and former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has made himself one of the richest men in the sport’s history across his iconic career. This is largely owed to his two fights against undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in 2024 (both of which Fury lost), which reportedly earned him a total of $100 million combined.
When speaking with BoxingScene on July 2, Fury said he would only come out of retirement to fight one man.
“If I was gonna come back, I would come back for Usyk,” Fury said. “But I want a fair result in England… That would be the one I’d want immediately. That would be the fight that I’d want next, in England.”
That just continues the theme of people not believing what he says. Fury loves boxing and has made a lot of money from the sports. He knows that he can still make a lot of money from the sport. So he will dive right back into the spotlight. The only big fight that he hasn’t had yet is the one that everyone still wants to see. That would be against Anthony Joshua. That’s the blockbuster fight that the UK will fill the stadium for.
