Tyson Fury buying a car for £60 tells you everything you need to know about the millionaire boxing star

Tyson Fury has been an astute businessman since the age of 10 when he bought his first car for just £60. The Gypsy King, who returned to the ring on Saturday after a points victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov, is now worth a staggering £120 million.

But Fury’s deal-making skills extend far beyond his professional boxing career. This self-confessed wheel dealer has a particular passion for the car trade. In 2024, before his first fight with Oleksandr Usyk, speaking, he revealed: “I love contracts, whether it’s 10 pence, 10 grand or 10 million, whatever. I love doing contracts. Before I started boxing, I was trading cars. When I was boxing, I was playing with cars. It’s my hobby.”

Most children at the age of 10 are still playing with toy cars rather than owning real ones. However, Fury recalls: “My first car was a 1997 Fiat Fiorino. I paid £360 for it. It was the first car I drove.

“But I actually bought my first car when I was 10. It was a Renault Clio, I bought it three doors down and sold it for a profit. I bought it for £60 and sold it for £110 the same day. So I’ve been buying and selling all my life.”

“I ask the kids why we do it, and my son replies, ‘We wash it because it’s strenuous to earn money, Dad, and we have to take care of our things, right?’ And I say, ‘Yes, we do.’ Good job, son.

Fury has a shot at another huge payday if he faces Anthony Joshua later this year. The pair have been linked for a decade without stepping into the ring together, but they are gaining momentum and are shaping up to be the richest fight in history for promoter Eddie Hearn.

The two exchanged words at ringside on Saturday, with Joshua refusing to commit to the long-awaited fight. Fury, however, insists that he has already signed the contract on paper.

A potential hurdle could arise if Joshua looks for a warm-up fight, given that December’s victory over YouTube star Jake Paul is his only appearance in 19 months and his last credible opponent was Daniel Dubois in 2024, which ended in a brutal fifth-round knockout.

After overtaking Makhmudov, Fury stated that if the Joshua fight does not take place, only a trilogy with Usyk will make him retire for the sixth time. However, the boxing public’s appetite for the third edition of the competition is questionable.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.

Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.

Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.

Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.

Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.

The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.

The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva

Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.

McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.

Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.

Undercard remaining

At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.

Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.

Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.

Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).

Ennis is trying to become a world champion in two weight classes, having previously reigned as the unified champion at 147 pounds.

Lewis Crocker returns to the ring this week and faces Liam Paro.

Paro is Crocker’s first defense IBF welterweight world title.

He has been out of the ring since September 2025, when he appeared in the long-awaited rematch with Paddy Donovan.

After falling behind before the first fight was stopped due to Donovan’s disqualification, he entered the second fight as an underdog.

“The Croc” put on a great performance and proved the bookies wrong by taking down and dropping Donovan multiple times throughout the fight.

With the victory, Crocker became the IBF world champion in his hometown of Belfast.

His opponent, Paro, has only one defeat to his name. It came against Richardson Hitchins in 2024, when he was on the wrong side of a split decision.

Since that loss, he has picked up two victories, defeating Jonathan Navarro and most recently David Papot, who will be Harlem Eubank’s next opponent in July.
