"I’m just happy to be in this position, obviously we all know why he would take that fight but I am going to make the most off of the crossover scene while it is here.”

Fury insisted that he one day wants to challenge for a world title but will make the most of crossover bouts while he can.

He said: “Let’s not beat around the bush, it’s a lot better financially than conventional boxing, the money that these fights are generating, conventional boxers will never see in their careers.

"I’m sure Jai Opetaia can box and win all the belts, but it wouldn’t accumulate to a fraction of what these crossover fights can generate.

"So, I’m definitely going to make the most of it whilst it is here, but at the end of the day the plan will always be to challenge for that top strap.

"I wouldn’t feel right in myself, leaving the sport, if I had not challenged or even tried to win the world title and I do believe that I will win one because I have seen far worse people win one.

“I’m going to make the most off of the crossover scene and when all that is said and done, I will challenge the top boys and we will see how we go.”
