WBC heavyweight belt holder Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) said that he would only agree to a fight against compatriot Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) if British fans could watch him at the stadium in Wembley with free admission and broadcast on free TV.

Fury is now retired. Many are convinced that Tyson is not going anywhere and will return to fight for the absolute with the winner of the rematch on August 20 between Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) and Joshua. At stake there will be IBF, WBA and WBO belts.
Fury was supposed to face Joshua for all the titles (before his loss to Usyk last fall), but negotiations fell through. Now Tyson puts several conditions for such a fight. Of course, the most important thing is Joshua’s victory in the rematch with Usyk. But not only.
“It’s all about the money, Mr. Businessman [Джошуа]. He [Джошуа] not a warrior,” Fury said on the After Party Tour. I swear to God I hope he wins Usyk so I can come out of retirement and fight him for free. However, the conditions are: I want it to be at Wembley Stadium. I want the entrance to be free. And I want it to be broadcast for free on television throughout the country.”
It’s me who gets hit on the head, not you. I don’t want to fight anymore – Fury
“I will fight him in England and not abroad in a foreign country for big money. Here, and free for the people,” he shook the air.

As recently as last month, Fury was demanding £500,000,000 to return to the ring. Probably tomorrow he will say that he will go there only on the moon.
Recall that the “Gypsy King” announced his retirement from boxing after a 6th round knockout victory over Dillian Whyte in April. Since then, he has occasionally made mutually exclusive claims about his “Schrödinger pension”.
Haye does not exclude at all that Joshua will again lose to Usyk and end his career.
