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's a 60-year-old against a prime 27-year-old, it's 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's 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.'
But now, speaking on Eddie Hall's The Good, The Bad and The Beast podcast, Fury's tone has dramatically shifted, saying a mega-money payday could change everything.
Asked if he'd ever take on Tyson, who would be 60 by the time a fight could happen, Fury replied: 'If someone offered me £50million to fight him… I'd probably do it.'
The reversal comes after Fury watched Paul bank £31.4million for his points win over a visibly fading Tyson in November, while the ageing legend pocketed around £15.8m himself.

Tyson later admitted he barely remembered the bout, telling Fox Sports Radio: 'I don't remember the fight that much… I kind of blanked out.'
His son Amir even claimed Tyson's wife said: 'Mike is done.'

Despite the chatter around Tyson, Fury still has eyes on a rematch with Paul, hinting it could land within a year.
He said: 'That fight will always be there, there's history, it makes sense for both of us.'
Fury beat Paul by split decision in Saudi Arabia in 2023 and remains bullish: 'There's not a doubt in my mind where I go into the ring with Jake Paul and I think he beats me.'
Meanwhile, Youtuber Paul, returns this Saturday night seven months after his blockbuster fight with Tyson.
He will take Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in Anaheim, California.

Jake Paul vows to sue Piers Morgan following furious row
The pair came to blows last week ahead of the American's fight on Saturday - but now the social media star has threatened to sue Morgan following the latter's latest comments Jake Paul has threatened to sue Piers Morgan for claiming the YouTuber's fights are fixed. Ahead of his clash with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on Saturday night, the 'Problem Child' stormed off an interview with Morgan after the host questioned the American's boxing credentials and pointed out that he hadn't faced 'real competition' so far in his career. Paul would go on to cruise to a dominant unanimous decision victory on fight night. The 28-year-old controlled the majority of the contest, with his Mexican opponent rarely throwing anything all fight until the final two rounds. Immediately after the cruiserweight contest, Morgan took to social media to brand Paul's latest win in the ring a "farce." Taking to social media, he wrote: "I had a better fight with Jake Paul on Thursday than the unwatchable farce that took place tonight. The guy's lining his pockets with buckets of $$$$ - but he's killing boxing with this boring staged bulls*** against older fighters way past their prime." Paul did not appreciate the post and furiously hit back, posting: "After years of letting it slide as just 'haters being haters', I have asked my team to vigorously go after anyone who makes up lies about my boxing career. Expect to get served you pigs." The American's business partner, Nakisa Bidarian, also called Morgan out for his comments, calling them 'baseless and irresponsible'. "Last night's fight vs. Chavez Jr. was a fully sanctioned 10-round cruiserweight bout, officiated by the California State Athletic Commission with official judges," he claimed, adding there was 'no staging/rigging' at all. He added: "To say otherwise not only undermines the integrity of the sport, but is defamatory and causes reputational damage to MVP, Jake Paul, and the Commission. Enough is enough. We will be exploring all options, including legal action, to hold accountable those spreading such deliberate and harmful lies." On Monday morning, Morgan re-posted an article of Paul threatening to sue him as well as posting: "I've really rattled him. Perhaps I should be your next opponent @jakepaul - at least I'd put on a proper fight." Immediately after the win on Saturday night, Paul revealed he wants a rematch with Tommy Fury before taking on Anthony Joshua next year - but the YouTuber could face Gervonta Davis next. The social media star called out five fighters in his post-fight interview, including cruiserweight world champions Gilberto Ramirez and Badou Jack. "I want tougher fighters. I want to be world champion. Zurdo looked slow as s*** tonight. That'd be easy work, too," said Paul. 'Badou Jack. I want everybody. Anthony Joshua, Gervonta. And Tommy, stop running. I'm hustling, getting warmed up. You've already seen my face, get used to seeing it more." Asked when he wants to return, he added: "As soon as possible. I'm staying active, I'm fighting everybody."

Celtic handed transfer boost as target ‘likely to leave' club aiming to cash in on multiple players
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A PLAYER linked with a Parkhead move is reportedly set to be offloaded as his club look to make bank on a number of assets. The Celtic target is said to be one of six set to be moved on for a fee. 2 Kalidou Sidibe in action for EA Guingamp Credit: Getty 2 He's amongst six expected to be sold by the Ligue 2 side Credit: Getty EA Guingamp's Kalidou Sidibe is, quite literally, a MASSIVE talent. At 6ft 6ins, he's the tallest player in France's Ligue 2. Back in March, the towering midfielder was named as a target for Brenden Rodgers' men. And now the French team have picked him as one of many 'bankable' players who could earn them millions this summer. National Foot says EAG's highest rated player, Hugo Picard, is already in talks with an MLS club as they are facing a 'tense economic climate'. They report the side are looking to 'restructure without completely stripping itself of its sporting assets' as they seek 'significant financial windfall'. Picard and the Hoops target are said to be joined by Enzo Basilio, Sabri Guendouz, Alpha Sissoko and Jacques Siwe in potentially leaving the Stade de Roudourou. Out of contract next year, Sidibe played in almost every game for Guingamp as they narrowly missed out on promotion via playoff. The 26-year-old is a product of PSG's youth academy and has been teetering on the edge of receiving a debut for his national team, Mali. He was signed for EAG in 2023 from Quevilly-Rouen and has now reportedly attracted interest from Scotland, England, Holland, Switzerland and fellow French teams. Meanwhile, Rangers hero Ally McCoist has given his opinion on another potential Celtic signing. Brightcove Robbie Neilson Shocking Ange Postecoglou on his Celtic debut & beating Rangers and Hibs to Championship title Ex-England international Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a free agent having left Everton, and the Gers favourite revealed he'd have just one concern about a big move for him. He said on talkSPORT: "You get him on the pitch, he would absolutely do well at Celtic, there's no doubt about it. "Pacy, good in the air, he'd score you goals. Just the question mark over fitness, that's all I've got. "I just want to see him fit, I want to see him play. Not too well if he goes to Celtic, on the other hand!"
