Tyson Fury net worth after £22m earnings from Dillian Whyte fight

Given he is widely considered to be the best heavyweight boxer on the planet, it's no shock that Tyson Fury is now one of the highest-paid athletes anywhere in the world.

After a stunning performance against Deontay Wilder earlier in the year, the Gypsy King cemented his reputation as the man to beat in boxing's most lucrative division. On Saturday, he will put that status on the line against Dillian Whyte.

The meeting with Whyte will be Fury's first fight on British soil since 2018 and he is expected to receive a rapturous reception from a sell-out Wembley stadium.

That's largely because Fury is the complete package. Not only has he proved himself as an elite boxer and a thoroughbred warrior, the 33-year-old has the personality to match too.

According to reports, the showpiece at Wembley on Saturday could provide a substantial boost to Fury's overall net worth. He is set to make at least £25 million from the bout - 80 per cent of the successful £33 million purse bid from promoter Frank Warren.

That earner will reportedly take Fury's net worth to an estimated £130 million, putting him ahead of the likes of Anthony Joshua (£90 million) and Wilder (£20 million).

Although Fury is clearly making money and winning fights, the man himself has said that Saturday night may be the final time he steps inside a boxing ring. However, his father John has cast doubts over whether the Gypsy King will hang up the gloves.

Given he is in the peak years of his career and the market is clearly there for Fury to make many more millions in the final stages of his fighting days, it would be a surprise if he was not lured back into action again regardless of what happens under the Wembley arch on Saturday.
