Tyson Fury announced his comeback from retirement to fight Oleksandr Usyk for an undisputed heavyweight champion title. However, he later revealed that he would first fight Anthony Joshua in an all-British event. But the fight got canceled, and now Fury will be facing Derek Chisora. 

Tyson Fury and his promoter, Frank Warren made a wager that Anthony Joshua and his team wouldn’t ultimately agree to the terms of the match. Warren made a payment to Fury in the amount of £10,000 (or $11,304) after he lost the bet. After all, Fury’s prediction came true.

Fury apparently decided to use the money for a worthwhile cause. He donated it to an organization named DEBRA. The charity strives to help people with a disorder named Epidermolysis Bullosa(EB), which is a hereditary skin blistering condition.

Tyson Fury opened up about his bet with Frank Warren

The British boxer was interviewed by Myra Saeed, who has EB, at a press conference for his forthcoming fight with Chisora.

Fury stated, “£10,000 that I won off Frank Warren, and I want you to put this in your charity box, as a starter, okay? I bet that Joshua wouldn’t sign the fight contract. Now, I’ve got £10k. Frank Warren said he would sign it and I said I bet you he won’t. There is the £10k (as he held up the money). It’s tax-free money too.” 

The 34-year-old often spreads awareness about crucial and sensitive subjects through his social media and tries to make this world a better place to live in.
