JAKARTA - WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury says he is "finished" with boxing, but is ready to enter the ring again if he is promised a fee of £500 million.

Last April Fury knocked out fellow Briton Dillian Whyte to defend his belt before telling fans straight away that he would keep his promise to his wife to retire.

"I've won everything, a knight just does what a knight does. But the man inside the knight is done fighting", Fury told the Daily Telegraph as quoted by Reuters, Sunday 19 June.

"Boxing -- as well as professional fighting -- I'm done with it all. I've done everything I was asked to, beat every opponent I faced, and then lived my life after, isn't that beautiful?" he said.

Fury was then asked how much money could tempt him back into the boxing ring and answered emphatically "£500 million".

"So if somebody's willing to pay that much, and I think there's a lot of people out there who have more than that, I'll be back. But until that day comes, kaput, I'm done. And if someone wants to throw away £half billion, I think my morality will be tested", Fury said.

On a different occasion, in April, Fury's wife, Paris, said her husband might return for an undisputed world title against the winner between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk.
