What is Tyson Furys net worth? The Sun

Posted by Aldo Pusey on Tuesday, May 7, 2024

TYSON FURY has built a successful career for himself as a professional boxer and has amassed a huge fortune along the way.

The star, who has held the World Boxing Council heavyweight title since 2020, boasts an impressive net worth thanks to his fights and endorsement deals.

What is Tyson Fury's net worth?

Tyson Fury's net worth is estimated to be around £50million, according to Forbes magazine.

It had previously been reported that he was worth £130million but Forbes' November 2023 figures have disputed this amount.

The sportsman has made his money through his boxing career and his various endorsement deals.

Over the years he has released his own merch, has had fashion collaborations, and has launched his own Furocity energy drinks.

Fury was once thinking of spending his money on Morecambe Football Club.

The boxer lives close to Morecambe Bay and in October 2022 he spoke about the chance to get his local club from their position at the bottom of League One, to all the way up in the Premier League.

He told the press: "I’m thinking about buying Morecambe Football Club, they’re in League One at the moment.

“So I was thinking I invest X amount of millions in them.

"Yeah, basically throw it at them and keep them going up.

"I've been offered to buy Morecambe Football Club.

"I own all the training facilities anyway and the training gym. So who knows? You might be looking at a football club owner."

Ultimately, Fury lost out on his dream to own the club to a 20-year-old businessman.

How much did Fury make from the Ngannou fight?

Tyson Fury took on Francis Ngannou on October 28, 2023.

The fight took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Ahead of the bout, it was reported that Fury was set to pocket £65m.

Fury was said to have signed a deal with Saudi fixers worth £165million, covering his fight with Ngannou and two clashes with Oleksandr Usyk.

That leaves £50m for each of Fury's two bouts with Usyk, the first of which could take place in February 2024.

It had been reported that the fight would take place on December 23, 2023, but this has since been rescheduled. 

How much did Fury earn from beating Wilder?

The purse for the 2021 Fury vs Wilder trilogy was reportedly split 60/40 in Fury's favour.

The Gypsy King is expected to have earned a guaranteed £22m, plus 60 per cent of the pay per view revenue.

Deontay Wilder III, meanwhile is thought to have pocketed a guaranteed £15m plus 40 per cent of the PPV take.

In their last fight, there was a reported purse of £3.67m, with both fighters ultimately taking home around £18.36m once PPV revenue was added.

How much did Fury earn from his fight against Whyte?

Fury made at least £25m from his 2022 Wembley fight against Dillian Whyte.

This figure will have increased after PPV sales and gate receipts for the mega-event were tallied up.

How much could Fury earn from a fight with Anthony Joshua?

There could be a huge pot of money on the line if Fury fights Anthony Joshua one day.

It has been reported that the pair could be set to make more than £100m if they meet in the ring.

This huge amount is still less than the £150m that was at stake for the pair to fight over the summer of 2021.

The pair nearly came face to face for their massive fight but as of December 2023 it is yet to happen.

In October 2023, Joshua insisted the fight "will happen" before they both retire.

What has Tyson Fury and father John Fury been accused of?

In 2023 Tyson and his dad John were accused of dodging a £82,000 council tax bill for a car park at their £1million mansion. 

John currently lives at the house in Styal, Cheshire, that was bought by himself, Tyson, and Tyson's sibling Shane.

The trio, worth over £134million combined, owe £82,166.85 to Cheshire East Council for the property's adjoining car park, according to court documents.

John was pictured arriving at Chester magistrates court on December 12 for the hearing but Tyson was not in the country at the time.

The sports star had flown to Saudi Arabia the previous week on a private jet. 

Shane was also absent for the hearing.

The family members could be hit with a liability order if found guilty, or even face up to three months in jail in extreme cases.
