Tyson Fury reveals how much money he has in the bank after making honest admission about his entire career

Boxer Tyson Fury has revealed how much money he has in his bank as he commented about his future.

The 36-year-old Wythenshawe-born boxer is one of the best heavyweight fighters of his generation, boasting a record of 36 fights, 34 wins, one draw and one defeat.

Fury’s only defeat came earlier in the year when he was dethroned by Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.

The pair are set to take on each other again in a rematch scheduled to take place on December 21 in Saudi Arabia.

During a recent press conference, the Brit was asked about former boxer Andy Lee saying it's hard to accept defeat.

Fury said: “Andy Lee never had £200million in his bank to make him happy, did he? So what is my goal, and what is my target?

“It’s not a belt. It’s not a legacy. It’s not a boxing fight. It’s to make as much money as possible.”

Explaining why money is the motive, Fury added: “I’ve got to have as many fights as I can until the wheels fall off and I’m 50 years old, crippled with a stick, walking down the street. That’s how I’ll be.

“I’ve had 40 professional fights, and I was in every single one of them for the money. If I wasn’t getting paid, I wouldn’t have done any of them. I do it for the dough, but I’m the only one that will tell the truth.”

He added: “I don’t come to these places, thinking, 'Oh my God, I’m on TV. I’m Famous.' I’m thinking, 'How much dough can I get at any given moment in my career?' If you want to fight, the only question I say is, 'How much?' I have gloves, I have a body, and I will travel if the money is right. I’m truthful.”

When asked about how he would approach his rematch against Usyk, Fury said: “I do exactly the same thing, but don't get a standing count in round nine and I've won the fight comfortably. Yeah, I'm gonna change not getting a knockdown.

“I wasn't impressed because he's a boxer and that's what he's paid to do. He did his job and got a very small razor edge win, but as I've always said... winning by an inch or a mile is still winning.”
