The Mancunian wants at least $590 million to step into the ring with the Ukrainian
Tyson Fury has again confirmed that he is willing to come out of retirement to defend his WBC heavyweight championship belt against WBA, WBO and IBF king Aleksandr Usyk – but only if promoters compensate him with a huge £500 million ($590 million) pay packet.
Fury retired for the second time this year around a fortnight ago, but was enthused to get his gloves on again after seeing Usyk beat Anthony Joshua in a rematch in Jeddah on Saturday as the Ukrainian defended the belts that he won from the Brit last September.
In an Instagram address on Tuesday, Fury stressed that the "world's biggest fight" has to be for "the world's biggest money" if he is to "put it all on the line" against "some unknown foreigner" in Usyk.
"Boys, better get that half a billy. If not, keep that little mug," he added, as well as stating that if the fight were to be made against Joshua, he would do it for free.
"Only powers in the water GK," Fury signed off, in reference to his ring name the 'Gypsy King'.
