TOMMY FURY has performed a sensational U-turn – admitting he would fight Mike Tyson for a whopping 拢50million.
The Brit, 26, once blasted the idea of stepping in the ring with the boxing legend after Jake Paul’s controversial bout with Iron Mike, 58, last year.
Back in 2024, Fury who is the younger brother of former heavyweight king Tyson Fury, called talk of a fight “stupid”.
Asked about Mike Tyson’s clash with Paul, Tommy said: “It鈥檚 a 60-year-old against a prime 27-year-old, it鈥檚 stupid.
“I’m not interested in that fight one bit.
“The man is a legend he should be left alone. At the end of the day it鈥檚 not safe is it?
“[The] man is 60 years old, you’re not what you were.You have to have some respect about you, I think.鈥
But now, speaking on Eddie Hall鈥檚 The Good, The Bad and The Beast podcast, Fury鈥檚 tone has dramatically shifted, saying a mega-money payday could change everything.
Asked if he鈥檇 ever take on Tyson, who would be 60 by the time a fight could happen, Fury replied: 鈥淚f someone offered me 拢50million to fight him鈥 I鈥檇 probably do it.鈥
The reversal comes after Fury watched Paul bank 拢31.4million for his points win over a visibly fading Tyson in November, while the ageing legend pocketed around 拢15.8m himself.

Tyson later admitted he barely remembered the bout, telling Fox Sports Radio: 鈥淚 don鈥檛 remember the fight that much鈥 I kind of blanked out.鈥
His son Amir even claimed Tyson鈥檚 wife said: 鈥淢ike is done.鈥
Despite the chatter around Tyson, Fury still has eyes on a rematch with Paul, hinting it could land within a year.
He said: 鈥淭hat fight will always be there, there鈥檚 history, it makes sense for both of us.鈥
Fury beat Paul by split decision in Saudi Arabia in 2023 and remains bullish: 鈥淭here鈥檚 not a doubt in my mind where I go into the ring with Jake Paul and I think he beats me.鈥
Meanwhile, Youtuber Paul, returns this Saturday night seven months after his blockbuster fight with Tyson.
