Tyson Fury talked in regards to the $200 million he has stowed away in his checking account throughout at this time’s press convention for his rematch with unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk on December twenty first.
Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) revealed that he doesn’t care about profitable world titles or his legacy. His whole focus is “cash” and to make as a lot as he can earlier than he retires when “the wheels fall off.”
Fury Motivated by Cash
Moreover the greed factor that Fury confirmed, he seems to be utilizing that as a canopy for dropping his final combat in opposition to Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and coming into the rematch because the underdog on December twenty first. The 36-year-old Fury is making an attempt to reduce the chance of dropping the rematch with Usyk by saying his focus is on cash, not sport.
By altering the body and saying it’s nearly cash, Fury is making an attempt to disguise the truth that he’s athletically not more likely to win the rematch in opposition to the extra technically gifted Usyk. It’s a clear tactic Fury is utilizing, however it’s not pulling the wool over the eyes of followers about what’s confronting him on this combat. Usyk is anticipated to beat Fury once more, however this time, by a knockout, he’ll put his profession on ice.
“Andy Lee by no means had $200 million in his financial institution to make him comfortable. So what’s my objective, and what’s my goal? All of these issues are to make as a lot cash as doable for me. That’s my objective. It’s not a belt. It’s not a legacy. It’s not a boxing combat. It’s to make as a lot cash as doable. To try this, I’ve acquired to have as a lot cash as I can till the wheels fall off and I’m 50 years outdated, crippled with a stick, strolling down the road. That’s how I’ll be,” mentioned Tyson Fury to Sky Sports activities throughout at this time’s London press convention for his rematch in opposition to Oleksandr Usyk on December twenty first.
Fury has such a toxic perspective about why he’s holding on, however clearly, he’s not on the extent. Yeah, he needs cash, however he cares about his profession and is simply speaking in regards to the money to present him cowl for when he loses the rematch. What’s fascinating is how a fighter with so little expertise could make a lot dough throughout his profession. What on earth is occurring?
Fury’s resume is weak, together with his finest wins coming in opposition to 39-year-old Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder. The remainder of Fury’s victories throughout his profession have been in opposition to marginal competitors, equivalent to Derek Chisora, Dillian Whyte, and Otto Wallin. A younger model of Wladimir would have destroyed Fury.
He caught the Ukrainian on the good time in his profession in 2015 to get the victory, and even then, it was a detailed combat. When Fury is 39, it might be fascinating to see him go up in opposition to a 25-year-old top-ten contender. I don’t suppose it might finish nicely for Fury.
“I’ve had 40 skilled fights, and I used to be in each single one in all them for the cash. If I wasn’t getting paid, I wouldn’t have performed any of them,” mentioned Fury.
The large cash that Fury has made in his profession highlights the distinction between how a lot British fighters make in comparison with the remainder of the world. Anthony Joshua and Fury have made large quantities of dough throughout their careers regardless of having marginal resumes. In distinction, fighters with arguably extra expertise than them, like Usyk, have made nowhere close to the identical sort of cash. The message right here is if you wish to make a ton of cash, transfer to the UK and get with a well known promoter.
