Tyson Fury has once again ruled out a showdown with rising heavyweight star, Moses Itauma.
Fury is the number one contender with the WBC, with Itauma ranked just below him at three.
‘The Gypsy King’ has signed to fight long-time rival Anthony Joshua, who said earlier this month he’d be open to facing the unbeaten 21-year-old.
Fury though has dismissed a future clash with his former sparring partner, unless there is massive amount of money at stake.
“Show me the money and I’ll do the job,” the 37-year-old told IFLTV.
“But at the end of the day, if there’s not big money involved, what’s the point?
“He doesn’t have a belt. He doesn’t have nothing.
“I don’t need to fight f***ing kids.
“Moses [is a] good kid, great boxer, brilliant.
“But unless it’s going to be [for] big money, why would I want to fight Moses for f*** all?”
Itauma has raced to 14 straight professional wins, blitzing the likes of Dillian Whyte and Jermaine Franklin last time out.
The southpaw is in advanced talks for an August showdown with Filip Hrgovic, according to Ring Magazine and Fury has warned him against rushing into the big fights.
“He’s definitely a star of the future,” he added.
“But as we speak today, he hasn’t won anything and he’s a rising star.
“I remember there was a guy called Jared Anderson in America who was also a rising star.
“Beat by Martin Bakole, because [he was] in too soon and this can happen with anybody.
“He’s only a human being.
“Clip him on the chin, game over.
“Anyone gets hit properly, they’re going over and at 21 you don’t have the toughness as you do when you’re 31.
“Match them too soon and they get found out.”
Fury confirmed to Pro Boxing Fans on Saturday he intends to have another bout in August before facing Joshua likely in November.
‘The Gypsy King’ was in attendance at UFC Freedom 250 on Sunday at the White House, sparking talk he’d be signing with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing.
White remained tight-lipped insisting an announcement would be made soon.
‘AJ’ will first fight on July 25 against unknown Albanian, Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia.
The 36-year-old hasn’t fought since a sixth round knockout of Jake Paul in December.
10 days after stopping Paul, the two-time heavyweight world champion sustained minor injuries in a horror car crash which claimed the lives of two of his close friends in Nigeria.
