TYSON FURY says he has “had offers” to produce a movie of his life.
And the current WBC heavyweight boxing champ admits that is “in the pipeline” – but he isn’t finished with boxing just yet.
Tyson Fury has revealed talks have began on a movie of his life after he quits boxing
Next up for Fury, 31, is supposed to be the trilogy fight against Deontay Wilder – the man he battered in February to once again become world champ.
And it was revealed last week that the Gypsy King had agreed a two-fight deal against fellow Brit Anthony Joshua in 2021.
Joshua holds the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBF straps.
The pair’s historic undisputed title clash relied on them both winning their next fights.
AJ faces IBF mandatory Kubrat Pulev and Fury fighting Wilder – both hopefully before the year is out.
Only last month Fury admitted he would love for Hollywood legend Denzel Washington to play him in a movie.
Asked by Dev Sahni on the Lockdown Lowdown if he had made contact with the 65-year-old actor, Fury said: “I haven’t at the moment because I am going to finish my career before doing a movie.
“We have had offers for the rights of the Tyson Fury movie from some of the biggest TV companies in the world.
“So it’s in the pipeline but I’m not wiling to do it right now because I’ve still got more important things to think about this time in my career.
“[For example] Beating up all the leftover contenders and champions that are left.”
Fury has drawn the plaudits for turning his life around after battling drug addiction and depression.
The 6ft 9in heavyweight ballooned to a whopping 28st at his heaviest during his two-year absence from the ring.
But in an incredible turnaround, Fury battled back to eventually claim the WBC belt from Wilder at the second time of asking in February to cap one of the greatest sporting comebacks.
