Tommy Fury agrees to fighting Matty Floyd as long as he gets him a million pounds
Tommy Fury has reportedly laid out a clear financial condition for a potential fight with Matty Floyd, making it known that the bout will only go ahead if a £1 million purse is secured. The stance reflects Fury’s current position in the crossover boxing space, where drawing power, visibility and commercial value often carry as much weight as wins and losses.
Tommy Fury has become one of the most recognisable figures in influencer boxing, helped by mainstream attention and a series of high-profile appearances. With that profile comes confidence in his market value, and Fury appears unwilling to step into the ring unless the numbers reflect his status. From his point of view, the message is simple: meet the valuation and the fight can happen.

Matty Floyd must raise £1m to secure the fight
The pressure now sits firmly on Matty Floyd. To turn talks into reality, Floyd would need to raise the full £1 million demanded, likely through sponsorship, promotional backing or leveraging his growing online audience. It underlines how crossover bouts are often built as much in boardrooms as they are in gyms.
Floyd has been steadily increasing his visibility in the UK fight scene. He fought former world champion James DeGale in a bare-knuckle contest last year under the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship banner, a bout that significantly raised his profile and put him on the radar of a wider British audience. That appearance helped establish Floyd as a serious crossover name rather than just an online personality.
For now, the proposed clash with Fury remains conditional rather than confirmed. Fury has made his position clear and appears content to wait, while Floyd faces a major financial challenge if he wants to share the ring with one of the biggest names in this space. Until the £1 million is secured, the fight remains a possibility rather than a promise.
