Tyson Fury net worth after Dillian Whyte fight will reach huge figure
Tyson Fury is set to be handed a hefty payday for his upcoming fight with Dillian Whyte next month. The Gypsy King defends his WBC heavyweight title against Whyte in an all-British blockbuster contest at Wembley Stadium on April 23.
Fury, 33, stands to net a whopping £25million from the fight after his promoter Frank Warren won the purse bids against Eddie Hearn - Whyte's promoter. In what was a record-breaking purse bid for a single boxing fight, Whyte's promoter Eddie Hearn put up £24million while Warren bid £31m.
