Tyson Fury has donated the £10,000 he won from his wager with Frank Warren on the Anthony Joshua fight to a good cause. Fury bet Warren £10,000 that the AJ fight would not happen after discussions began for a December 3 date last month.

Of course, negotiations fell apart at the eleventh hour and Warren coughed up the ten grand. “I honestly believed it was gonna happen, I got to the stage where I thought we were going to get this over the line,” Warren told talkSPORT.

“Then Tyson kept saying to me, ‘they’re not gonna do this,’ because all I’m doing is going to him every day and telling him how the negotiations are going. We were talking, (to Joshua’s camp) but Tyson was getting fed up with it all, and he was right at the end of the day, and it cost me 10 thousand pounds the bet I had on it. So, he was 100% right, ‘he will not go for this Joshua.'”

Flaunting the cash ahead of his launch press conference with replacement opponent Derek Chisora, Fury said: “I bet that Joshua wouldn’t sign the fight contract.

“Now, I’ve got £10k. Frank Warren said he would sign it and I said I bet you he won’t. There is the £10k (as he held up the money). It’s tax-free money too. You know where that’s going on the way home, don’t you.”

However, Fury was quick to hand over the cash in the form of a charitable donation. Just a few hours after waving the wad of cash around in the air, The Gypsy King gave his winnings to journalist Myra Saeed to be passed on to the DEBRA charity whom she was at the event representing.
