It has been rumored lately that Briton Tyson Fury, who defeated Otto Wallin in a Las Vegas match last fall, will pay Deontay Wlder $ 10 million (just under $ 97 million) for failing to return the match he is entitled to losing to Fury in February.

But he does not intend to do that, he said earlier this week.

- I don't pay him to step aside, I'd rather take a new scalp against him. I'll hit him in the ring. I wouldn't pay him $ 2 million to step aside either, I'd rather give him another round, Fury said then, according to Talksport.

The reason why Fury would have paid Wilder $ 10 million would have been to meet Anthony Joshua, who holds the world champions from four organizations: WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO. But Fury now promises that they will meet after the return game against Denotay Wilder.

- We will run the return game against Wilder sometime. Then we will have two matches against "AJ". We will have one first, and then of course I will tear him down so he will want a return machine, he says, according to the Daily Mirror.

- It will be the biggest fight in the boxing history between two undefeated British heavyweights.
