“Floyd Mayweather Got £400 Million to Fight Manny Pacquiao, I Want £500 Million!”: Tyson Fury Demands ‘The Biggest Payday in The World’

Oleksandr Usyk recently retained his titles after a sensational win against Anthony Joshua on August 20, 2022. Moreover, there have been widespread speculations about who Usyk might face next. And, unsurprisingly, a lot of fingers were pointed toward a ‘retired’ Tyson Fury. However, Fury recently revealed what might actually entice him to come out of retirement.

Fury was in a telephonic conversation with Talksport. In conversation, he mentioned how people kept asking him about coming out of retirement and fighting Usyk. And talking about his motivation to come back, Fury said, “I’m retired from boxing and I’m very happy doing that. However, I will come back, but it has to be for obscene amounts of money.”

Meanwhile, he also stated that if Joshua was his opponent, he would have fought for free in England. In fact, he even went on to call Usyk a ‘foreigner who nobody cares about’. Fury mentioned that he did not wish to give Usyk a ‘legendary status’ unless he got paid for doing so.

Moreover, he even mentioned that he would only consider coming back if it was going to be the biggest payday in the world. Fury said, “It’s the biggest fight in the world, so it needs to be the biggest payday in the world. Mayweather got £400million (approx USD 472 million) to fight Pacquiao, I want £500m! (approx USD 591 million)”
