Tyson Fury called out over contradicting claims about money for Oleksandr Usyk fight

Tyson Fury has been called out by radio host Simon Jordan after stating his undisputed fight against Oleksandr Usyk is solely about money - while claiming he doesn't need the money.

Fury, 34, is willing to end his retirement promise to fight Usyk all the undisputed heavyweight world titles after the Ukrainian's second win against Anthony Joshua last weekend. Usyk has also said Fury it is the only opponent he is interested in fighting, calling for 'The Gypsy King' to return to boxing following his recent win.

Saudi Arabia are the frontrunners to host the fight, with Fury being confident the country can meet his £500million demand for the fight whilst citing golf star Tiger Woods being offered $1billion to join the Kingdom's LIV golf series as proof they can afford it. Fury has given potential bidders for the undisputed clash until September 1 to come up with the money.
