Tyson Fury net worth will reach whopping figure after Dillian Whyte fight earnings

Tyson Fury's net worth will be handsomely boosted when he takes on Dillian Whyte later this year.

The Gypsy King defends his WBC heavyweight title against Whyte in an all-British blockbuster contest which is expected to take place in April.

Fury, 33, stands to net a whopping £25million from the fight after his promoter Frank Warren won the purse bids held in Mexico City on Friday night.

In what a record-breaking purse bid for a single boxing fight, Whyte's promoter Eddie Hearn put up £24million while Warren bid £31m.

Fury's £25m share is part of the 80/20 split ordered by the WBC earlier this month with Whyte taking home £6m.

Fury paid himself just £70,000 in 2021 despite his £40m boxing fortune - which will be further boosted after facing Whyte - his accounts for last year show.

He earned a whopping £20m for his knockout victory in the trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder but, despite that, remains very tight with his finances.

"He's extremely careful with money and knows the value of it," a source told the Sun. "He's not extravagant or flamboyant like some boxers are and lives a very modest lifestyle.

"He is ensuring his family is comfortable for generations to come and that's humbling."

Fury is based with his family in Morecambe and last year purchased a £1.7m home close to the sea in the Lancashire town, having previously lived in a £550k house overlooking Morecambe Bay.

In total, recent accounts show he has £28.7m in Tyson Fury Ltd, which holds payments from his fights, and shows he took out just £2,000 in 2020.

Figures registered with Companies House show he invested £3.4m and £3.1m is owed from other sources, meaning his firm is currently worth £39.5m.

That figure will climb even further - to around £65m - after
