      And this figure will have increased significantly following his second win over the man from Alabama.
      Fury has so much money that he’s even thinking about buying Morecambe Football Club.
      The 6ft 9in behemoth lives close to Morecambe Bay and spoke about the chance to get his local club from their position at the bottom of League One, to all the way up in the Premier League.
      “I’m thinking about buying Morecambe Football Club, they’re in League One at the moment,” he said at the news conference for Fury vs Chisora.
      “So I was thinking I invest X amount of millions in them.
      “Yeah, basically throw it at them and keep them going up.
      “I’ve been offered to buy Morecambe Football Club.
      “I own all the training facilities anyway and the training gym. So who knows? You might be looking at a football club owner.”

      but ‘Jules Rimet still gleaming’ is one part of the chorus which still confuses a lot of fans.
      And SunSport is here to clear up what exactly this means.
      What does Jules Rimet still gleaming mean in Three Lions?
      ‘Jules Rimet still gleaming’ is reference to the original World Cup trophy which was lifted by England legend Sir Bobby Moore after the Three Lions’ monumental win over West Germany in 1966.
      It was named after the man who was the third FIFA president and Rimet is the longest-serving president in the organisations history having held the position from 1921 until 1954.

      The Frenchman was one of the masterminds behind the first ever World Cup which was held in Uruguay in 1930 and it was renamed in Rimet’s honour after he sadly in 1956 at the age of 83.
      There has been a lot of controversy around the Jules Rimet trophy as it was allegedly stolen from a display case in the headquarters of the Brazilian football association in 1984.
      And it was also stolen before England’s 1966 World Cup win which led to a nationwide police investigation before it was famously discovered by Pickles the dog.

      A whopping 94,000 fans, a British record, filled the England football team’s national stadium that night to watch Fury defend his WBC heavyweight crown before announcing his retirement in the ring after.
      His retirement didn’t last long, however, as toward the end of the summer he called out Anthony Joshua for a massive money-spinning clash.
      Talks failed to materialise, however, and now Fury is on the precipice of finalising a deal to fight Chisora, who beat Kubrat Pulev in exciting fashion in July.
      Chisora has clashed with Fury twice before, though, losing the first on points before being stopped in their 2014 sequel.
      When is Fury vs Chisora 3?

      Fury is set to fight old rival Chisora on Saturday, December 3.
      The fight is set to take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
      The last fight to be held there was Anthony Joshua’s first fight with Oleksandr Usyk last year.
      Ring-walks will likely get underway from 10pm UK time.

      What channel will it be on and can it be live streamed?

      Fury vs Chisora 3 will be shown live on BT Sport Box Office in the UK.
      BT Sport Box Office is available for live streaming from their dedicated app, which can be downloaded onto your mobile or tablet device.
