THE highly anticipated rematch goes down this weekend where Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will battle it out in their massive rematch.
Fury, 36, lost his first ever professional fight to Usyk last may in what was a controversial split-decision – and the two men are set to split an even bigger pot of cash than they did first time round.
After the fight, the Gypsy King saw a staggering £85million enter his bank account, in what was a contracted 70-30 purse split.
And this meant Usyk cashed in around £30m for the fight to go alongside his heavyweight belts.
The two are now set to meet in the ring once again in Riyadh to cap off what has been an excellent 2024 for heavyweight boxing.
