Speaking to Gareth Davies, Fury launched a scathing attack on ‘The Body Snatcher’ and made an out-of-the-box demand.

‘The Gypsy King’ said, “He’s complaining about money and stuff. He’s never earned as much money in his life. Like I said, I will keep reiterating this, 32 times his biggest payday, all thanks to me. So he should be ready even giving my feet a massage because he’s an old dosser for me.”
