From revelations about earnings, to changes to fight plans and potential new bouts on the cards, take a look below at some of the latest news to come out of the Fury camp this week.
Morecambe based champion boxer Tyson Fury, 35, has been in the headlines non-stop over the weekend thanks to his match against Francis Ngannou which he won by a split decision. Ahead of his big weekend in Saudi Arabai though, Tyson made a surprising admission about his half-brother Tommy, 24, who himself took part in a highly anticipated boxing match two weeks before.
“I’ll happily beat the crap out of him and get straight back to chasing those belts. I’ve never watched him live, no, but I’ve seen a few clips on social media. And he’s not s***.” There has also been some news this week about Tyson’s upcoming fight against fellow undefeated heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk. The £150 million bout was due to take place on December 23 but now it appears it will not be happening until 2024.
