British WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) has stated he could become the first billionaire in boxing history.
"It's absolutely incredible. I'm on the way to becoming the first billionaire in boxing. And, of course, I want that billion dollars. I'm far from the cheapest boxer; I'm an expensive boxer, probably the highest-paid in boxing. That's why I want to continue collaborating with Saudi Arabia regarding fight promotions. If you want the best, you have to pay for the best," said Fury.
Tyson Fury's next fight will be against the holder of the WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO titles, Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs), on May 18th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The fight will be for the absolute heavyweight champion title.
