Tyson Fury has told talkSPORT that he wants £500million to come out of retirement and fight the Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua winner in an undisputed heavyweight world title fight.
The WBC champion insisted that he remains retired as things stand, and told talkSPORT’s own Simon Jordan to source the ‘half a billi’ it will take to get him back in the ring.
On Wednesday night, an interview was released in which Fury said he would consider returning to face Usyk, who he expects will beat AJ once again in August.
It was subsequently reported that this could see him back in a £200million mega deal, but the Gypsy King refuted this on Thursday morning and named his true price.
Fury told White and Jordan on talkSPORT: “Even that £200million 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.”
Regarding the upcoming rematch for the WBA, IBF and WBO belts, Fury said: “AJ’s bubble’s been burst, he’s been beat twice.
“He ain’t a virgin anymore, he’s been battered from pillar to post by a fat man on three weeks’ notice and by a middleweight.
“Usyk hasn’t [been beaten], but that’s a middleweight coming up from cruiserweight to heavyweight, none of my interest at all.”
However, when asked to confirm if he would come back to fight the winner for huge money, Fury replied: “If it’s half a billi, then I won’t say no, will I?
“What you’ve gotta do is go and get half a billi, and then the Gypsy King will come out and solve all his problems for him.Fury KOd Whyte in round six in his last fight on April 23
“Because if AJ gets beat again off Usyk, then there’s only gonna be one man to redeem this great fighting 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 gonna happen.
“One call, but it’s gonna cost half a billi.
“500 million pounds or dollars, I don’t care, as long as it’s half a billi.”
