Fury says he is on the ‘ dole’

Former heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury has shockingly claimed he is almost broke.

The Brit hasn’t fought since beating Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, which saw him pocket around £ 4 million, reports the Mirror.

“To be honest, I’m skint. I don’t have any money in the bank. I’m on the dole. I’m on Jobseeker’s Allowance at the moment. I’m not winding you up — I’m being truthful. Seriously, I didn’t make any money out of boxing at all. Don’t feel sorry for

me — it’s not a bad thing,” the 29- year- old was quoted as saying by the Daily Record.

“I give my promotional team half of the money and I donate the other half to charity or give it to people in need because I don’t think people should make money out of punching other people in the face. I fight because I love to fight. I’ll continue boxing until I’m 50 — until I can’t box any more.”

He is set to return to the sport against Anthony Joshua later this year.
