Tyson Fury net worth compared to Anthony Joshua before Oleksandr Usyk fight

Tyson Fury is set for another significant payday when he steps into the ring with Oleksandr Usyk.

The WBC heavyweight champion is set to take on Usyk on Saturday, February 17. All four heavyweight belts will be at stake to crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.

Fury was last in the ring for his showdown with former UFC champion Francis Ngannou in October, with the bout in Saudi Arabia reportedly earning him $50m (£39m). American outlet Forbes has previously stated that the heavyweight champion’s net worth is $62m (£48.73m) but this was last updated in May 2022.

The latest set of public accounts for Tyson Fury Ltd, dated from April 2021 to March 2022, showed that he made a £13m profit and finished the year with £43m in the bank. His estimated earnings after defeating Derek Chisora in December 2022 were claimed to be up to £130m after two fights in that calendar year. This may have increased to around £170m following his clash with Ngannou, while Fury’s estimated purse for the fight with Usyk is £60-80m.

Outside of the ring, Fury’s family were the subject of the Netflix documentary, At Home with the Furys. He has also released best-selling books and launched his Furocity Energy drink.

Long-standing rival Anthony Joshua is the other marquee name in the heavyweight division, headlining stadium fights during his two championship reigns. Forbes estimated Joshua’s worth to be $53m (£41,64m) as of May 2023, around £7m less than Fury.
