TYSON FURY claimed he is on course to becoming boxing’s first billionaire – with a double-header against Anthony Joshua to help.
The Gypsy King has amassed a fortune throughout his career, clearing well over £100million already.

And he is set to deepen his pockets even more when he faces Oleksandr Usyk on May 18 in Saudi Arabia.
The historic first four-belt unification bout also includes a rematch clause to all-but guarantee two blockbuster paydays.
And Fury, 35, said: “Absolutely unbelievable. I’m definitely on course to becoming the first boxing billionaire, for sure…
“I’m on course for it and I’m looking forward to it. I’m delighted by all the good news that keeps coming my way…
“I’m not cheap – I’m probably the highest-paid escort in Morecambe! I’m not cheap, I’m not cheap.
“But if you want something good, you have to pay for it. I can’t get a new car from the agent and pay pennies for it – it’s going to cost me.”
Joshua, 34, is patiently waiting the outcome of Fury’s undisputed title decider with Usyk, 37.
There are hopes if the WBC champion prevails that AJ can slot in for a mammoth Battle of Britain bout later in the year.
But with so much money on offer in the Middle East, there are fears the domestic dust-up will be resigned to an away day.
And Fury – who appeared to reveal the joint prize pot will be £200million – admitted Wembley would be more fitting for the rematch.
He said: “If you’re paying £200million for something, you’re going to do it in someone else’s country? Doubt that.
“Maybe the rematch. But the way I look at it: Joshua is an old dosser and has to wait his turn.”
I’m not cheap – I’m probably the highest-paid escort in Morecambe! I’m not cheap, I’m not cheap.

Fury is believed to have made around £60m for his trilogy series against Deontay Wilder, 38.
And in his last bout, against MMA star Francis Ngannou, 37, he walked away with a reported £40m.
Fury boasted of wanting TEN more fights in his career as he aims to break into the billions.
