SunSport understands Fury pocketed upwards of £80m for his first defeat to the pound-for-pound king last May. His purse for the Riyadh rematch is understood to have been less than that figure, but still large enough to exponentially increase the value of his company. Another cash injection could soon be on the way as Fury has seemingly performed a U-turn on his fifth retirement from boxing.

Boxing icon Tyson Fury spotted posing topless in Scots town as he chats with locals "And I don't believe I've got a fair shout the last two times.
