WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury says he will be a "sad and lonely" person, when he ends his boxing career.
The unbeaten 33-year-old defends his title against American Deontay Wilder at Las Vegas next weekend in a trilogy bout, after a 2018 draw and Fury's 2020 victory.
Fury tells BBC Radio he would have no regrets if he never fought again and he is not motivated by the vast purses he can command.
"I'm not fighting to be the greatest of all time, I'm not fighting to be a legend," Fury says.
"It wouldn't benefit me earning another $50-200m, you don't need to be rich to live my life. I'm just a normal person, who is very good at boxing and a very special, chosen person."
Fury, nicknamed the 'Gypsy King', says he could walk away and never look at boxing again, although he admits he would not know how to occupy himself without the sport.
"What motivates me?" says Fury. "I'm getting asked this a lot.
"It's definitely not a few quid. It's a fact there's nothing else.
"I'm boxing because I can - I don't enjoy anything else, I don't have any hobbies. After boxing, I will be a very sad, lonely person.
"I've tried looking after animals, four-wheeled driving, got a shotgun license, clay pigeon shooting... nothing turns me on."
Fury is favourite for Sunday's rematch, but has likened Wilder to an "atomic bomb" in the build-up to the fight.
"We both know what we can do, there's no secrets.
"I'm dealing with a guy that can knock you out with one punch and he's dealing with the same.
"When you have the two biggest heavyweights going for it on the biggest stage, you are always in for an exciting night. The heavyweight landscape can change in seconds, and it's up to me to keep it on track and not let it change."
