- Boxing. Tyson Fury Net Worth 2024: How much money he gets per fight?
Oleksandr Usyk is a Ukrainian boxer who currently holds the Ring, WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight belts. The only belt he was missing was the WBC belt that Tyson Fury had until May this year. Winning those championship belts was a historic moment for Usyk that turned him into a worldclass super star. But because he is not from a more powerful country like Russia, the U.K. or the U.S. Usyk took some time to become more known as Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua. That also translated into less sponsorship deals and not that big of a box office draw. But beating Joshua twice and then Fury was what did the trick, that opened up the door for him to start having the biggest fights in the heavyweight division today.
Oleksandr Usyk is worth how much?
According to multiple financial studies of Oleksandr Usyk's career, theinformation is that Usyk earned a reported $6 million for his ninth-round KO against Daniel Dubois. Mind you, he was already out of beating Joshua twice and he still made that relatively short amount for a world champion. However, fighting Joshua was an entirely different ordeal and Tyson Fury will be even more impressive in of earnings. Against AJ, Usyk earned an estimated $75 million from his 2022 match alone. In the first fight he had against the Brit, Usyk earned a reported $20 million. In his last match with Fury, despite being the winner, he only earned 45 million, while Fury earned 100 million.
According to specialized media such as Fight Sports and The Independent, the total purse will be $190 million and will be split 55-45 in Usyk's favor, being one of his biggest earnings.
Currently, Usyk's net worth is at around $35 million but it may increase dramatically if he wins later this Saturday.
