Tyson Fury has told Deontay Wilder that even £50million wouldn’t get him to step aside so he could face the winner of Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz.
Fury and Wilder are due to meet again in February.
But the WBC World heavyweight champion now wants to face the holder of the WBA, IBF and WBO crowns so he can potentially put all four belts on the line against Fury.
Fury said: “I have heard about him saying he wants to pay me some step-aside money but I’m not a cheap w***e, I’m very expensive, and I don’t really want to step aside from anything.
“A few more pound coins in my pocket is not going to make me or break me.

“I wouldn’t take £50million step-aside money because it doesn’t mean that much to me, I only care about winning and victory.
“I just want to smash Wilder in the rematch. I just want to beat him and get what I deserve — the victory.
“Wilder doesn’t want to fight me.
“He couldn’t beat me when I’d had three years out the ring and he couldn’t beat me when he knocked me down twice, so he hasn’t got a chance of beating me now.
“I’m not interested in fighting him if he’s got 104 belts. I only want to beat Deontay Wilder the person, not the man who is holding the belts.

“When you’ve won all the belts like I have — and belts are fantastic, lovely things to have, to hold, to win — it’s about more than a belt between me and Deontay Wilder.”
Fury returns to the ring for a second time since facing Wilder when he faces Otto Wallin in Las Vegas on Saturday.
And he is adamant the mental health issues which kept him out of the ring for three years before the Wilder fight have been banished for ever.
He added: “I used to worry about everything, but I finally found out that nothing is worth worrying about because I can’t change it.
“Nothing is ever going to put me back to where I was because it’s not worth going back there.
“Do I feel physically fitter? I don’t feel anything. I can’t get fitter. It’s not about how hard you train, it’s not about fitness.

“I’m sure Anthony Joshua was a lot fitter than Andy Ruiz on the night — didn’t help him, did it?
“Now I want to keep busy and I intend to fight Wallin and beat him.
“Then I intend to fight Deontay Wilder and beat him. Then I intend to give Deontay Wilder a rematch for the trilogy fight and beat him in that one.
“Then we’ll take the winner of Joshua and Ruiz.
“I’ll fight Wilder in February, Wilder in June and the winner of Joshua and Ruiz in December.”
