Fury vs Usyk: British boxing great ready for ‘fight of the ages’ in Riyadh
Al Jazeera
Tyson Fury says ‘nothing compares’ with his upcoming unifying fight against Oleksandr Usyk.
While the rest of the boxing world is drooling in anticipation of a genuine heavyweight world title fight that will unify the division for the first time in more than 20 years, Tyson Fury insists his match-up with Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh is all about the money.
“The truth is it’s exciting to me and attractive because of the amount of money I’m getting paid,” he said this week.
“Not because of the belts that’s on the line.”
It is true that the self-styled “Gypsy King” – Fury is the son of Irish Travellers – will earn north, perhaps far north, of $100m from the fight but there is a sense that he may just be covering up a little bit.
Fury, now 35, knows well enough what this fight means: a place among the very greats of boxing history.
