Fury hinted at retirement following his 32nd victory of his legendary career.
And speaking in his post-fight press conference, the 33-year-old explained why he won't be lured out of retirement by money.
"Every good dog has its day," he said.
"And I know Frank (Warren) will be unhappy about that. And Top Rank, there's a lot of money to be earned.
"But, for me, I come from f**k all, I come from nothing. It's never been about money, I'm not a money person.
"I drive around in a 07 Passat on 56-point diesel. I don't care, I don't care what I've got."

Fury added: "It's never been about money with me. I know a lot of people with money, big money - but none of them are happy.
"Not one of them. And I know money can't make happiness. It's not even been about belts with me, it's not been about legacies.
"It's not been about anything apart from punching a motherf**king face in on the night.
"That's all it's ever been about, excuse the language.
"All I ever want to do is win, money aside. Money is beautiful, it's great. It's great to be paid for what you do."
