Months after Mike Tyson punched a JetBlue passenger, boxing world had yet another viral pro vs heckler incident. However, this time it didn’t involve ‘Iron Mike.’ It involved Tyson’s former rival.

A few days ago, Mike Tyson‘s former rival, Julius Francis, had an incident where he knocked out a heckler. The video of this incident went viral on the internet sending shock waves into the boxing world. The brutal knockout caught the attention of Tyson Fury.

‘The Gypsy King’ recently had an interview with renowned journalist Piers Morgan on his ‘Piers Morgan Uncensored.’ During that interview, Fury, while sharing his reaction, said, “I saw the video, great right hand. What do you expect? These guys are doing their job. He’s attacking, so he’s been chinned. It’s a life lesson. Never be cheeky to big men because you’re probably gonna get chinned.”

Tyson Fury makes a ridiculous demand

‘The Gypsy King’ last fought Dillian Whyte on April 23, 2022, where he defended his WBC heavyweight title by claiming a sensational sixth-round knockout victory. After his last fight, Fury contemplated retirement from professional boxing.

However, there have been rumors that Fury was in talks to secure a fight against the winner of Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk 2 with Saudi Arabia representatives. Sadly, the rumors were discarded by Fury himself.

In the same interview with Piers Morgan, Fury talked about his retirement, return plans, and Joshua vs Usyk 2.

When asked about return, ‘The Gypsy King’ said, “Even that £200 million [roughly $244 million] report today, that didn’t even tempt me. That would be like half of what I would want to come out of retirement. I’d probably want half a billi to come out of retirement. I’m telling you the truth. If you want me out of retirement, it’s gonna cost half a billi.”

It appears that Fury will only come out of his supposed retirement if he is offered half a billion pounds (roughly $600 million).
