Tyson Fury earnings from Dillian Whyte fight broken down

Tyson Fury‘s knockout victory against Dillian Whyte has made The Gypsy King the richest British boxer of all time.

Fury has added more than another victory to his name, earning himself a fight purse of around $33.6million (£26.4million).

The money earned on Saturday is even more impressive when divided over the fight’s duration.

Standing in the ring, with each passing second, Fury was $31,100 richer, an incredible $1.9 million per minute.

Having landed 76 punches, every punch connecting was a nice $442,100 to his pay cheque, which he ultimately collected with a final uppercut.

This possibly final boxing pay cheque takes his total career earnings from the sport to somewhere around £126 million, overtaking Lennox Lewis as the number one Brit.

On the overall boxing rich list, he has also overtaken Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez to find himself in fifth place.

The 33-year-old claims the money isn’t on his mind as he went ahead and talked openly about the possibility of retiring.

“I’ve given 20 years to boxing, amateur and professional, I’ve had my brains knocked about, been put down, dropped, cut, I’ve had tough fights, draws, wins, I’ve boxed all over the world.”

He continued: “If it was about money I’d continue but it ain’t about money, so I’m happy. It’s never been about money, I’m not a money person. I know a lot of people who have money, big money, but none of them are happy, not one of them.”

Fury maintained it’s all about winning to him, saying: “Money cannot make happiness, it’s not been about belts for me, it’s not legacies, it’s not been about anything apart from punching a motherf*****’s face in on the night. All I ever want to do is win.”
