TOMMY FURY claimed he is not in boxing for the money as he talked down future crossover fights – despite rumours of a Jake Paul rematch.
Fury – who shot to household fame for his 2019 stint on Love Island – has spent the last two years feuding with YouTuber-turned boxer Paul.

But he looks to have buried their rivalry in the Saudi Arabia desert after edging out a split-decision win in their grudge match.
Fury is said to have made around £3-4million for the pay-per-view fight, which included the option to rematch if Paul was beaten.
And the likes of YouTube superstar KSI, 29, have also come out to call out the younger brother of world heavyweight champion Tyson.
Fury admitted he is considering his options amid speculation of future fights with fellow celebrities but favours the traditional boxing route.
He said on BT Sport’s Chatterbox: “It’s definitely something that’s crossed my mind but it always leads me back to why I got into boxing after what happened in the fight.
“I’m not in boxing for money anymore because you know I don’t live the most extravagant lifestyle, I don’t live on yachts I don’t buy all these fancy things and I’m not really interested in that.
“I’ve got a car, I’ve got a place to put my head down at night and I’ve got a family and that does me.”
Paul, 26, has confirmed he will exercise his rematch clause, which is being eyed for the summer.
Meaning Fury, 23, will have to once again shelve his goals of winning world titles, despite wanting to be remembered as “a proper boxer”.
He said: “The money now is not really important. I’m in boxing for my name to go down in history.
“I’ll be in boxing because it’s a passion of mine and I’ll always revert back to being that old man and saying, ‘Did I really give it my best shot?’
“Because I know if I give it my best shot my name can go down in history. I can achieve winning one world title belt because there’s a lot worse men than me who have done it and I’ve got the drive and determination to get me there.
“I’m still eager to learn, win titles and go down as a proper boxer. I don’t want to be known as one of these guys who made a lot of money fighting idiots and then retired and left the sport.
“I want to be remembered as Tommy Fury, ‘He made great money fighting YouTube stars and then stuck to boxing and retired with a world title’. That’ll be happiness for me and I will achieve it.”
