BOXING: Tyson Fury Demands £500m To Fight Anthony Joshua

Published

on

Tyson Fury, also known as The Gypsy King, has revealed that it will take a “£500m deal” for him to return to professional boxing.

Tyson, 33, insisted he was hanging up his gloves after knocking out Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April.

The WBC champ has left fans baffled having retired, then saying he will return for a £200m bout with Anthony Joshua, then making a U-turn on that to suggest he would only be interested in exhibition events.

He has now claimed he would take on his fellow Brit – for the audacious sum of £500m.

He revealed the figure in an interview with talkSPORT after initially raising hopes of a Battle of Britain bout when speaking to Frank Warren’s Queensbury Promotions on Tuesday.

In a confusing series of apparent U-turns, Fury appeared on Good Morning Britain today to state he IS retired and will only enter the ring for “Hollywood style entertainment”.

And he has now muddied the waters further, telling talkSPORT, “I’m 100 percent retired. Nothing’s changed. Everyone’s making all these assumptions that I’m coming back, I’ve got these dates.

“I’m coming back for a few exhibition fights. Playtime, showtime, entertainment.

“I don’t know who the exhibition is against. I thought it was against an old timer or The Rock or someone so maybe it will generate £200m on my end.

“Even £200m doesn’t even tempt me. I’d probably want half a billion to come out of retirement.

“If it’s half a billion I won’t say no (to Joshua).

“What he’s got to do is come out with half a billion and then the Gypsy King will solve all his problems. Because if AJ gets beat again by Usyk then there will be only one man to redeem this great nation of the United Kingdom and he goes by the name of Tyson Fury.

“I can solve all the problems, the embarrassment, all that stuff that’s going to happen – one call, but it’s going to cost £500m.”

Speaking to reporters after the finale, Pyszkova shared her excitement about the supportive community of Miss World contestants, vowing to continue her advocacy work.

“So far, we have helped 320 children. Through the Miss World platform, I’ll be able to help as many children as possible…

“The Miss World sisterhood is such an empowering community. I think we will be sharing this moment forever because we experienced so many things. We experienced this incredible country, India, together. I’ll be happy to come back soon,” Pyszkova told reporters here after the finale.

According to the official Miss World website, Pyszkova, a Czech model, is pursuing degrees in law and business administration and is the founder of the Krystyna Pyszko Foundation.

Fluent in English, Polish, Slovak, and German, Pyszkova advocates for sustainable development through education, citing her proudest moment as the establishment of an English school for underprivileged children in Tanzania, where she volunteered.

“Her proudest moment was opening an English school for underprivileged children in Tanzania where she also volunteered. She enjoys playing the transverse flute and the violin, and has a passion for music and art having spent nine years in an art academy,” read Pyszkova’s profile on the website.

India, which hosted the event after a gap of 28 years, was represented by 22-year-old Shetty.
