‘Show me the money!’: Tyson Fury makes dramatic U-turn over retirement and reveals he is ‘100% going to fight again’ for the right price, with huge heavyweight unification bout in the pipeline
- Tyson Fury said he was retiring after knocking out Dillian Whyte in domestic bout
- But the heavyweight superstar has now admitted he will make U-turn on decision
- Fury said: ‘I will be back in the ring 100 per cent’, but only for the right price
- He could face the winner of Anthony Joshua’s clash with Oleksandr Usyk
Tyson Fury has completed a dramatic U-turn over his boxing future and confirmed he is ‘100 percent going to fight again’, if the price is right.
Fury made the decision to hang up his gloves after knocking out Dillian Whyte in front of a packed Wembley crowd in April.
Many were dubious about the credibility of his claim and they have been proven correct, with the Gypsy King already talking up a return to action.
Heavyweight star Tyson Fury has confirmed that he will fight again for the right price
Fury is expected to face the winner of Oleksandr Usyk’s clash with Anthony Joshua
He told Queensberry Promotions: ‘We have some very exciting news coming. I think the world has been waiting for a plan of action.
‘Last week we had a nice Italian down in London and a long conversation about lots of stuff.
‘I will be back in the ring 100 per cent, just like in the movie when Jerry Maguire shouted ‘Show Me The Money!’.
‘If anyone can show me the money then it’s Frank Warren, I call him the Magic Man and we are going to make some big, big things happen.’
Sportsmail previously revealed Fury is in negotiations to fight the winner of Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia in December for the undisputed world heavyweight title.
The Middle East Kingdom is poised to invest even more extravagantly in the Gypsy King’s return from brief retirement for a spectacular which they regard as ‘the next Rumble In The Jungle.’
Joshua is set to face Usyk in their highly-anticipated rematch on August 20. Usyk beat AJ to claim his WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO belts.
Fury says the money has to be right for him to come back for a unification fight
Fury declared himself ‘done for good and ready to devote my time to my family’ but it was always likely he would be tempted back into the ring .
He wen on: ‘When this middleweight knocks out this bodybuilder there will only be one man to sort this absolute circus out.
‘What I would say to the people who want this fight to happen is: you better have a big cheque book.
‘Because to bring the big GK out of retirement to redeem this country – yet again – it’s going to cost.
‘I am a prize fighter and I do fight for prizes but it is going to cost if you want me to do a mission on this middleweight and show what a real heavyweight does to them.
‘And that will be expensive, they will need deep pockets and then we can talk.
‘But NOT before the Usyk vs Joshua fight happens first, because it is pointless before.’
The Gypsy King could become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world
Fury added: ‘And if Frank does do a deal with the Saudis then hopefully he can get me free fuel for life because I am spending a fortune on petrol and diesel everyday.
‘Me and Frank has something spectacular coming but it does not involve Usyk or Joshua, at this moment.
‘I will make a decision on all this but I have only just fought three months ago.
‘I would not be expected to fight until October, November, December, anyway.’
Fury has talked up a possible exhibition clash with UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, who is at loggerheads over a new deal with the MMA promotion.
If he decides to become a free agent towards the end of the year then a high profile event with Fury could be on the cards.
