Tyson Fury 's promoter has revealed the Brit lost almost $2million trying to avoid his third fight against Deontay Wilder.
Heavyweight champion Fury, 34, decisively settled his rivalry with Wilder in October 2021 by brutally knocking him in their trilogy fight. It marked Fury's second stoppage win over 'The Bronze Bomber' after winning their February 2020 rematch by knockout, with the pair fighting to a controversial draw in their first fight.
'The Gypsy King' tried his best to avoid a third meeting with Wilder in order to make an undisputed heavyweight title fight against domestic rival Anthony Joshua. The undisputed clash was agreed on for August of that year, but an arbitration judge ruled that Fury must fight Wilder for the third time instead. Frank Warren has now revealed the ordeal saw Fury lose nearly $2million in unsuccessfully fighting the case.
