Fury and Usyk will bank millions from their undisputed heavyweight world title fight in Saudi Arabia tonight
Tyson Fury will earn a whopping £80million from his fight with Oleksandr Usyk tonight with his fellow world champion taking home £35m.
But Saudi Arabia stepped in and offered the rivals mega-money to sign on the dotted line - and they will be rewarded again when they clash for a second time in October having agreed to an immediate rematch. "He was in the highest-grossing heavyweight fight ever to take place in Las Vegas between him and Deontay Wilder. The fight at Wembley Stadium against Dillian Whyte was the highest-grossing event they’ve ever had. And he sold 60,000 tickets at Tottenham for an open-air show in December against Dereck Chisora - come on, that’s what he is."
