Tyson Fury vows to ‘get paid and get laid’ as he aims to become first £500million heavyweight boxer with TEN more fights
TYSON FURY has vowed to “get paid and get laid” as he aims to become the first £500million heavyweight boxer with TEN more fights.
The Gypsy King is on the verge of becoming the division’s unified world champion after battling past stars including Deontay Wilder, Otto Wallin and Dillian Whyte.
But he faces his toughest test yet in fellow heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk, with the two men set to clash in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
Boxing fans around the world will tune in when they put on their gloves for an epic dust-up in the desert.
Yet Fury, 35, already has one eye on the future, admitting he plans on racking up another 10 fights in the next five years.
The WBC champ is ready to have them all in the moneybags kingdom of Saudi.
And Fury reckons he can become the first-ever heavyweight fighter to bank £500m in the process.
He told the Telegraph: “[I will] fight eight to 10 more times to the age of 40.
“Happy days, with those fights I’ll become the first £500m heavyweight boxer in history.”
Fury is also taking a relaxed approach to his clash with Usyk, insisting it’s just another pay cheque.

He added: “This is a good fight, I’m not too concerned about what people are going to be saying in 100 years.
“I’m going in there to get paid, get laid, and come back to Morecambe Bay.
“I probably won’t even buy anything, because I don’t need anything.
“I’ll do the rematch exactly the same, get paid, get laid, come home, Morecambe Bay, still not buy anything.”
However, Fury’s dad John appears to be taking things seriously after being caught up in a dramatic confrontation with Usyk’s camp on Monday.
Fury Snr was left with a bloodied head after attacking a rival.
He said: “[They] disrespected my son, the best heavyweight to ever wear a pair of boxing gloves.
“Coming out with all that rubbish. He’s in my face, trying to be clever.
“Coming into my space, ‘Usyk, Usyk’, nobody’s bothering with them. I was only chanting my own son’s name.
“They stepped closer, stepped closer. So I’m a warrior at the end of the day, that’s what we do. We’re fighting people, you come in the space, you’re gonna get what’s coming.”
