Tyson Fury has opened up on his decision to take a further tune-up bout in Thailand, insisting he will not take a penny for the fight.
The Briton faces Mariusz Wach this July, one night before Anthony Joshua-Kristian Prenga on DAZN Pay-Per-View and Ultimate.
But rather than entertain a clash on home soil again, or in Saudi Arabia, Fury will stick close to his training camp in Southeast Asia.
Now, speaking with GoldStar Promotions, 'The Gypsy King' has reiterated the money from his bout will go instead to local charities.

"There [were] only 1,500 tickets available," he said. "They sold out within three minutes, and we've raised $250,000 for these children.
"A hundred percent, it is an opportunity to give back. I want to do stuff that [has not] been done. How can it be a money grab if I'm not paid for it?"
Success for Fury against veteran journeyman Wach will hold up his end of the bargain for a long-awaited super-bout with Joshua too.
Should the latter prevail a day later against Prenga, hopes are high that a date and venue for their clash will be swiftly rubber-stamped.
