British world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury says his achievements in the sport have already made him a boxing "great" and that his love of fighting is what motivates him to continue.

The unbeaten 33-year-old defends his WBC title against Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas this Sunday.

It will be their third fight after a draw in 2018 before Fury gained a seventh-round win in their 2020 rematch.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Boxing podcast, Fury says he's not fighting to be the greatest of all time or to become a legend.

He says it wouldn't benefit him to earn another £50m or £200m because he's a normal person who is very good at boxing.

The WBC champion says he could walk away and never look at boxing again but what he has done could never be taken away.

The Gypsy King will take on the Bronze Bomber this Sunday.

The fight program starts at 1pm Sunday.
