Tyson Fury says Anthony Joshua wants a 'final payday' in Cardiff: 'I'll give it to him'

Fury says Joshua turned the fight down four or five times before, and that he will box on after 11 December with two fights left on his contract.

Tyson Fury says Anthony Joshua is after a "final payday" when the two meet at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on 11 December.

"At the end of his career now he wants a final payday. I'll give it to him, no problem," Fury told WSVN Miami from his training camp.

Fury, 38, said he had not expected the fight to happen at all. "I didn't think he had the minerals to get in there with the GK and he didn't [previously]. Four or five times he turned the fight down," he said.

He also made clear Cardiff will not be his last fight. "I'm going to continue. I've got two fights left on my contract," Fury said.

A trilogy with Oleksandr Usyk, who beat him twice in 2024, is his main target. Fury still disputes the decision in their rematch, and said: "Usyk knows he can't get any money anywhere else."

Joshua has predicted he will knock Fury out.
