Fury before rematch with Usyk: Only money motivates me  - 1

Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury said before the second fight with world champion Oleksandr Usyk that his motivation is related only to financial income, BTA reported.

"The only thing that really matters to me is my family, my children. This fight is necessary to get a lot of money, which will help my children in the future. I'm doing this only for the money. All professional boxers, to be honest, fight only for money", said the Briton, quoted by DAZN.

36-year-old Fury and 37-year-old Usyk will go out for a rematch on December 22 in Saudi Arabia. In their first meeting, which took place on May 18 of this year, Usyk defeated Fury by decision and became the absolute world heavyweight champion.

Usyk has 22 wins in 22 matches in the professional ring. Fury has 34 wins and 1 loss, and another fight with his participation ended in a draw.
