Tyson Fury can’t keep himself out of the ring.
With former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury on the verge of ending his latest retirement, he appeared on social media to talk about his motivation to come back to the ring, and says it has nothing to do with the money — although he surely isn’t going to turn down the money.
“I’ve won literally everything from regional belts in England to super world titles, Fight of the Year twice, (Ring) Magazine twice, WBC, every one of ‘em, every world title belt there is,” Fury said. “But for me there’s nothing else other than the fight game. I love this fight game. It’s not for financial gain, I could’ve retired ten years ago. Made an absolute fortune. It’s not about the money, although I always want a good deal, for sure.
“It’s mainly about the love of the fight game, of the sport. I’m 37, I’m 38 this year, I’m older than a motherf-cker, but I love to fight. I have zero other interests, only fighting. I was born and raised to fight. My destiny lies within the fight game, and at the end of it all I’ll be punchier than a motherf-cker and I’ll probably end up in a wheelchair like the rest of ‘em all, punched to death, don’t know if it’s Tuesday, Wednesday, or December, but it’s the game I chose.”
Fury has most recently been linked to a potential fight against longtime British rival Anthony Joshua, although that appears to be up in the air for the time being as Joshua just recently survived a brutal car wreck that took the lives of two of his team members.
