The world heavyweight champion of the World Boxing Council, Tyson Fury, took advantage of his social networks to react to the rumors about his possible exit from retirement.
I’ve done two consecutive mandatory fights. I have no one. I’ll just keep it (the belt) as long as possible. I have already surpassed Wladimir Klitschko as the third longest reigning champion in boxing history.
Tyson Fury on Twitter.
In relation to a recent offer that he would have received, Fury said:
Even that $200 million report from the Sun today, that didn’t even tempt me. I think that would be half of what I would want to come out of retirement. I’d probably want half a billion to come out of retirement. I tell you the truth, if you want me to fight again, it will cost them a lot of money.
Said proposal of $200 million was given to face the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk, who at 35 years old has a record of 19 wins and 0 losses.
Words from the boxer from the United Kingdom that logically make noise in the boxing world, although he is right in the fact that he does not seem to have a tall rival for a possible next fight.
The boxer of Mexican origin Andy Ruiz Jr. confirmed his desire to become Fury’s next challenger, and it would be a confrontation that would surely generate a millionaire figure between tickets and Pay Per View.
How Much Did Tyson Fury Earn for His Fight With Dillian Whyte?
