Tyson Fury net worth compared to Francis Ngannou ahead of boxing fight

Tyson Fury has a vastly higher net worth than former UFC champion Francis Ngannou ahead of their fight on Saturday night.

The ‘Gypsy King’ will enter his first boxing match of the year as he takes on Ngannou in Riyadh. While many boxing purists have criticised the matchup, given that Fury’s opponent will be making his boxing debut, the WBC heavyweight champion is seemingly set for a lucrative payday.

His estimated net worth after defeating Derek Chisora for the third time last December was claimed to be up to £130m, having reportedly earned just over £45m for his two fights in 2022.

While he has not been active in the ring, so far this year, Fury will still have made money through his various investments, including the Furocity energy drink, and the Netflix series At the Home with the Furys.
