TYSON FURY has confirmed he’ll pay Piers Morgan £1million in COINS after losing a bet thanks to his U-turn on retiring.
Fury “quit” after beating Dillian Whyte in April but returns against Derek Chisora at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on December 3.
Sun columnist Morgan was one of many to doubt the undefeated two-time world heavyweight champion would walk away from boxing while still in his prime and raking it in.
And when the Gypsy King insisted he would only box again for £500m, Morgan asked: “How about if you do fight again, you give me a million pounds?”
Fury replied: “If I am getting half a billion for my fight it won’t matter will it. Yep, 100 per cent.”
And questioned on talkSPORT if he wold honour that deal, the Mancunian responded he was always paid up on bets.

He said: “If I fight again, Piers Morgan is going to get paid in pound coins!
“That was the deal! He’s gonna get paid in one million pound coins!”
TV presenter Morgan tweeted back: “BOOM! I’ll take it any way you like, Champ.”
it’s relatively small change for Fury as he is already plotting three money-spinning fights and believes he has TEN in the tank if needed.

After targeting a third win over Chisora, he hopes to meet Oleksandr Usyk for a unification bout and then Londoner Joe Joyce.
Fury, however, has all but ruled out possibly the most lucrative contest of them all – against Watford’s Anthony Joshua.
On meeting AJ, he said: “I don’t think so. They’re too hard to work with.
“It’s too difficult and, like I said, you can’t make someone do something they don’t want to do.
“When me and [Deontay] Wilder fought the first time, I said ‘send me the contract over’, it was signed within two days. Bosh bosh, see you in a bit.
“Went over there, did the fight, whatever. When you want to fight somebody, you make the fight happen.”
