Tyson Fury has revealed that he intends to become boxing's new money man with a staggering multi-million dollar contract in his ambitions.

The WBC heavyweight world champion initially linked up with management company MTK Global upon his 2018 comeback and then signed with UK promoter Frank Warren and UK broadcaster BT Sport.

In 2019, Fury went a step further by inking a massive deal with US promoter Bob Arum and US broadcaster ESPN.

He is now three fights into this five-fight contract and looking at rounding it off with wins over Deontay Wilder (again) and Anthony Joshua.

Fury said on Instagram Live: "I'm coming to the end of my contract with Top Rank, I've got two more fights left with those guys and I wanna renew it.

"I don't wanna just walk away after two more fights, I'm 31 years old.

"Like Billy said - the man who helped with this deal with ESPN and Top Rank - he said, 'They better get out the dump truck and reverse it back up to Tyson Fury's bank account, because that's what it's gonna need.'

"I wanna get that big, big major fight deal. I wanna break all records for a British fighter to go overseas and get the biggest signing record in history.

"And I know that with MTK Global, Top Rank and Frank Warren, I know that we can make that happen.

"I know that we can break history with the biggest fight contract deal in the history of boxing.

"Bigger than Floyd Mayweather, bigger than Canelo, bigger than Mike Tyson, bigger than anybody.

"I think it's very possible and I always aim high with my achievements. That's my next aim.

"After I've wiped out these two dossers, Wilder and Joshua, then the world's my oyster and we wanna see that big, big contract come from ESPN and whoever's out there battling to get the 'Gypsy King' on their station."
