TYSON FURY could fight on until he is 50-YEARS-OLD as he looks to make as much from boxing as possible.
Fury returns on December 21 in a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk following his defeat in May.

He lost his WBC belt and undefeated record after 12 thrilling rounds.
But Fury – who has won every title in heavyweight boxing – admitted he is not fighting for gold anymore.
Instead, he wants to maximise his boxing paydays after responding to a question about ex-champion Andy Lee saying it is hard to accept defeat.
Fury responded: “Andy Lee never had £200million in his bank to make him happy, did he? So what is my goal, and what is my target?
“It’s not a belt. It’s not a legacy. It’s not a boxing fight. It’s to make as much money as possible.
“To do that, I’ve got to have as many fights as I can until the wheels fall off and I’m 50 years old, crippled with a stick, walking down the street. That’s how I’ll be.”
Fury, 36, previously said he would wait to fight Anthony Joshua, 35, even if he was in his 50s.
The outspoken Gypsy King is believed to have earned close to £85m alone in his loss to Usyk, 37, earlier in the year.

And Fury believes he is the only boxer candid enough to admit he fights purely for fortune.
He said: “I’ve had 40 professional fights, and I was in every single one of them for the money.
“If I wasn’t getting paid, I wouldn’t have done any of them. I do it for the dough, but I’m the only one that will tell the truth.
“I don’t come to these places, thinking, ‘Oh my God, I’m on TV. I’m Famous.’
“I’m thinking, ‘How much dough can I get at any given moment in my career?’
“If you want to fight, the only question I say is, ‘How much?’ I have gloves, I have a body, and I will travel if the money is right. I’m truthful.”
