Fury takes on Ngannou in Saudi Arabia in a crossover boxing match which won't be for his heavyweight world title
Tyson Fury insists he’ll not make the same mistake against Francis Ngannou that Anthony Joshua made against Andy Ruiz.
Fury said: “I am not looking past Ngannou. I don’t look ahead to other fights or get involved in boxing politics. When you count your chickens before they hatch you usually come unstuck. I remember a few years ago, when Anthony Joshua was in New York to box a little unknown called Andy Ruiz, all he could talk about was fighting Deontay Wilder and me.
Fury, already a very wealthy man, is making some serious lolly from the Saudis for his next two fights, and he has also trousered a fair few quid from his Netflix show. But he is adamant that at this stage it isn’t about the money. He added: “I just do my job, get paid and get out of there. In the trade we call it ‘getting paid and getting laid’.
Fury needs that structure. He said: “It’s just the same old bulls**t day in, day out, year in, year out, but if you take it away my life’s not worth living anymore. I’m sick when I’m in camp and even sicker when I’m out of camp so make what you will of that.” But he’s also trying to enjoy each camp now given there won’t be many left.
