Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has declared he will never step into the ring with Agit Kabayel or Joseph Parker, regardless of financial incentives.
Speaking at a Goldstar Promotions event at BoxPark, the 36-year-old boxer referred to both men as his "brothers" and expressed unwavering support for their careers.
"They are my two brothers," Fury stated. "They are both lovely guys, and they are both future world heavyweight champions."
The Gypsy King specifically praised Parker's previous championship success and predicted bright futures for both fighters.

"I wish them all the very best in the world and I won't fight either man for any amount of money because some things ain't worth fighting for," he emphasised.
The relationship between Fury and Kabayel developed through their time as sparring partners, with a planned 2020 bout between them ultimately falling through.
The 32-year-old German boxer has since compiled an undefeated 26-0 record, securing victories against Frank Sánchez and Zhilei Zhang to claim the interim WBC title.

"How can you fight a brother?" the 33-year-old questioned.
Fury announced his retirement from professional boxing following consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, aged 38. Despite stepping away from the sport in January, the Briton admitted the absence has been challenging.
"I do miss it, every single day I wake up in the morning and miss it," he revealed during the event. "I've been away seven months, missed it everyday."
Looking ahead, Fury confirmed he will not return to boxing in 2025, citing commitments to his Netflix series.
"I'm filming At Home With The Furys season two," he explained, indicating his immediate focus remains on television projects.
However, the heavyweight veteran revealed plans for a 2026 return to the ring.
