TYSON FURY, the WBC heavyweight ‘champion’, last week insisted he doesn’t care about the legacy he leaves behind in boxing. He is here to make money and loads of it, he says. Not break records or collect belts or even fight his closest rivals. This latest Gypsy King proclamation is proved by his upcoming October 28 date with boxing debutant, Francis Ngannou.
It pays to keep the salt handy when Fury has something to say, however. When he announced his retirement, as he did last April, nobody was surprised when he came back. When he says he’s going to give his entire fight purse to charity, don’t start planning on how to spend it.
