Tyson Fury’s net worth ahead of potential Oleksandr Usyk blockbuster fight

Tyson Fury could well be set for the biggest payday of his career should he come out retirement to face Oleksandr Usyk in a heavyweight unification bout.

A fight between the two would have looked unlikely earlier this month, after Fury announced his intentions to retire and even vacated The Ring Magazine belt, which Usyk claimed with a brilliant performance over Anthony Joshua on Saturday night. But Fury has since confirmed that he'll look to fight Usyk and has seemingly reversed his decision to call time on his boxing career.

Fury posted on his social media pages after the fight that he was unimpressed with both Usyk and Joshua, and will now look to fight the Ukrainian, in a bout which is reportedly being eyed for December 17 in Saudi Arabia.

It's a fight that'll see both Fury and Usyk receive huge pay days, after both Joshua and Usyk reportedly made £50million this past weekend.

Fury has made a lot of money in his career, the past couple of years, the Gypsy King has been one of the highest paid athletes in the world - with millions tuning in to his heavyweight bouts.

Fury's reported net worth of £130 million comes from the money he made in his trilogy bouts with Deontay Wilder, as well as his last bout with Whyte - in those fights alone making just short of £100 million.

His 27 other bouts will have seen him make millions, as well as his exploits outside of the ring - including his two best-selling books and a new release of an energy drink Furocity Energy.
