Life is all about the money now for retired WBC champion Tyson Fury as he awaits the winner of Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk 2.
WBC champion Tyson Fury says only a ridiculous amount of money can tempt him out of retirement for a bout in the ring again.
Fury revealed on TalkSports that it will take a whopping £500m sum to get him to reconsider his decision to call it quits from the sport that gave him fame.

Nigerian boxing star Anthony Joshua is set for a rematch with his conqueror last year Oleksandr Usyk of Ukraine.
After some delay, the pair will finally go head-to-head for the second time in less than a year this August in Saudi Arabia opening up space for a potential undisputable heavyweight fight with Fury.
However, during an interview with England-based TalkSports, Fury stated that it will take £500m to ge him to agree to that particular fight with the winner between AJ and Usyk.
"Even that £200m report today didn't even tempt me," Fury said.
"That would be like half of what I would want to come out if retirement. I'd probably want half a billi to come of retirement."
"I am telling you the truth, if you want me out of retirement it's gonna cost half a billi."
The fight between AJ and Usyk is for the WBA, IBF and WBO belts, which Joshua unfortunately lost via points in the first meeting last September at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Should either AJ or Usyk win in August, this could see a unification bout between the winner and Fury in future.
But while Fury open to the fight, he has retired and isn't joking about the amount that will see him change that status to make the unification battle a reality.
"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 added.
“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.”
