Tyson Fury could earn staggering £36m in PPV sales alone with Anthony Joshua banking £24m in record-breaking fight | The Sun

But when Oleksandr Usyk, 35, beat AJ for the second time in 11 months, the Gypsy King's mind was changed.

Usyk called Fury out in what would be the heavyweight division's first four-belt heavyweight unification.

But the Ukrainian hero has ruled himself out until next year after returning to his war-torn home and family for the first time.
