If the war comes to the United States or United Kingdom, then I'll be joining. Don't worry about that. We all will! Why ain't we gonna defend our own land? C'mon, behave yourself," Fury said in an interview with TMZ Sports on Wednesday." Fury said the prospect of having money doesn’t have anything to do with it because there may not be a home to go back to. "What's money got to do with it? You got no homeland to go back to, all the money in the world's no good to you. You can't spend it." {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/global.fncstatic.com\/static\/v\/all\/img\/clear.gif"} When asked whether he had any words for any of the Ukrainian boxers, Fury replied: "Keep fighting boys, never surrender."

"When it comes to war on UK soil, I’ll be first up. "I’ll be first up, I’ll be the easiest target to hit at 6-foot-9 inches, I’ll be dead first. Frank will be shading from the bullets behind me, and I’ll just catch them all like a nutcase." Fury is the WBC and The Ring magazine heavyweight champion and has been since he beat Deontay Wilder in 2020. {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/global.fncstatic.com\/static\/v\/all\/img\/clear.gif"} The "Gypsy King" told reporters at his pre-fight press conference the Whyte fight would be the last of his career. "This is the final fight of my career, I'm retiring after this. … $150 million in the bank, good-looking, healthy, young, I'm going to buy a massive yacht abroad," Fury said. "Got loads of cars and properties all over the world. Just going to sit back with a hot blonde and piña colada ... I'm retiring, I'm out, this is my final fight, the final countdown, I'm done."
