Tyson Fury ‘tried to pay’ to halt Netflix filming of At Home With The Furys

“And in the end, I was happy I didn’t pay my way out, because it’s turned out to be a No 1 hit and a fantastic show – a fantastic insight in[to] a crazy family and the mind of a mental, crazy person.”

Fury, 35, claimed he was retired from boxing after beating Dillian Whyte in April 2022, but he returned to action in December, beating Derek Chisora for the third time to retain the WBC title and remain unbeaten.

The Briton has not fought since, but he is due to box ex-UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in October.

The pair are due to clash in Saudi Arabia on 28 October, with a bout between Fury and unified boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk having fallen through earlier this year and seemingly no longer on the agenda.

“I wanna top the Forbes list – the highest-paid athlete ever for a year – and I wanna make a Hollywood movie. So, new goals, baby!” Fury said.

“I’ve completed the ring game, it’s done. I’ve done everything there is to do, won every belt there is to win. I’ve been undefeated in 15 years, two-time undefeated champion.”

Fury also doubled down on his claim that he wants to box reigning UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones next, and that he would fight Ngannou in a mixed martial arts bout.
