Tyson Fury’s net worth and earnings vs. Deontay Wilder so far
Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will renew their rivalry in tonight’s ‘Once and For All’ trilogy fight, which will culminate in one of the fiercest boxing battles of recent years.
Aside from ending the pair’s fighting history, the fight will also result in a record-breaking payday for two-time heavyweight world champion Fury.
In December 2018, the two met for the first time in Los Angeles in a bout that ended in a controversial draw – sowing the seeds for future fights.
The California State Athletic Commission shows Fury made $ 3million (£ 2.17million) in the first fight, which is peanuts compared to his future income from the rivalry.
‘Unfinished Business’, the second fight between the two in February 2020, saw Fury knock out his opponent and earn $ 26million (£ 18.84million) from the Nevada bout.
This saw Gypsy King’s annual earnings surpass $ 50million (£ 36.2million), which places him 11th in the Forbes 2020 ranking of highest earners in sport.
Fury returns to Las Vegas for the trilogy fight and will split 60% of the Pay-Per-View share, which equates to roughly $ 30million (£ 21.74million)
