Mayweather Promotions CEO Challenges Media While Backing $65 Million Worth Tyson Fury’s Recent Remarks About Making “As Much Money as Possible”

In a world where boxers chase belts like moths to a flame, Tyson Fury bucks the trend. The $65 Million man, with fists that command headlines, recently took a surprising stance. While most athletes dream of gold and glory, Fury’s recent revelation has left many scratching their heads. ‘The Gypsy King’, known for his unfiltered candor, spoke to Sky Sports in a way that’s sparking wildfire discussions.

As the boxing community buzzed, eyes turned to another Heavyweight, but not in the boxing sense: Leonard Ellerbe. The CEO of Mayweather Promotions, Ellerbe swiftly turned to Twitter, with an indirect yet palpable challenge. Not to Fury, but to an unexpected party.

The ‘Gypsy King’ speaks out: What’s driving Tyson Fury now?

Amidst the anticipatory hum of Tyson Fury’s upcoming bout against Francis Ngannou, a different kind of challenge seems to be stealing the limelight. The Gypsy King, as Fury is fondly referred to, never shies away from making headlines. And this time, it’s not just about his imminent showdown.

While fans eagerly await his next match, whispers are rife about his aspiration to square off against MMA superstar, Jon Jones. Such a crossover would be monumental, bridging the worlds of boxing and MMA. However, before delving into dream match-ups, Fury’s recent comment demands attention.

During his Sky Sports Boxing interview, Fury candidly remarked, “I have no interest in fighting those guys. I didn’t come back this time for belts, I came back to secure my family and I’ve done it.” He added, “When I came back into boxing, I said I wanted to make as much money as possible.”

Seamlessly pivoting from Fury’s statement, Leonard Ellerbe’s tweet came like a well-timed counterpunch. The Mayweather Promotions CEO questioned, “I wanna see what media peeps going to call him out. Keep that fkn energy as you have in the past “

Drawing a connective thread between Fury’s candid confession and the media’s historical scrutiny, Ellerbe throws down the gauntlet not to a fighter, but to the media. The message is clear: will the press keep the same fervor they’ve shown before? With the stage set, the narrative continues to unfold.
