      Tyson Fury’s promoter reveals record-breaking sum ‘money mad’ Gypsy King is set to make in Oleksandr Usyk fight

      by

      TYSON FURY could be set for a record-breaking set of paydays after landing blockbuster bouts in Saudi Arabia. Firstly, Fury returns on October 28 in Riyadh against ex-champion Francis Ngannou in a huge crossover clash.

      But before he even welcomes the MMA star to the ring, it has been revealed Fury and Oleksandr Usyk have signed for a super-fight.
      The deal is believed to include two bouts in Saudi, meaning the Gypsy King looks on course for a trio of mega-money nights in the Middle East.
      And his US promoter Bob Arum claimed all his business with the Saudis could bank him $200MILLION (£165m).
      Arum told Boxing News: “We’re looking for this whole package, there’s other stuff involved that I really believe that at the end of the day, before the end of June, Fury will be reaching close to $200million.”

      The potential three-fight package would be a record-breaking deal for a British fighter.
      Anthony Joshua, 33, is believed to have earned around £60m in Diriyah when he beat Andy Ruiz Jr, 34, in their 2019 rematch.
      And when he landed in Jeddah for his second bout with Usyk, 36, in August 2022, some reports claim he made 50 per cent of the £65m shared fee.
      Derek Chisora, who has worked with Saudi boxing bosses before, claimed Fury, 35, is earning $50m (£41m) to fight Ngannou, 37.

      So that would leave $150m (£125m) remaining for his proposed double header with Usyk.
      If it brings him $75m (£62m) for each fight, that would be the biggest purse for any British boxer.
      But Arum refused to confirm whether Fury’s contract with Usyk mandates a rematch.
      He said: “I don’t want to talk about that because I’m putting up the money.”
      Fury has set his sights on becoming the highest-paid sportsman in the world.
      And his dad John told interviewer Rob Moore: “He’s thinking now, especially now he’s in talks and in business meetings with the Saudis, he’s looking at how wealthy that country is.
      “Now all of a sudden, click! He’s gone money-mad thinking he can compete with the Saudis.”
      Despite the huge sums in the pipeline for Fury, he would have to go some way to topping Floyd Mayweather’s earnings.

      Mayweather banked close to £600m for his wins over Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor.
      He topped Forbes’ sporting rich list of the decade in 2019 with £706MILLION made over his legendary career.

      And her facial injuries were laid bare in the post-fight interview as she spoke out with a severely swollen face.
      Shah sported a battered and bruised face – but still insisted she enjoyed the experience.
      She said: “After the first round, I realised that she was a lot tougher than I was expecting.
      “Although I expected her to be tough I just expected her to show a bit more tiredness.

      “It didn’t go the way I wanted but I was still happy that I went all the five rounds.
      “Even though I don’t look like it, I enjoyed the whole process and I enjoy being in the ring and challenging myself.”
      Hart shot to recognition by beating Paige VanZant in 2021 and has since gone 8-3 in the BKFC ring.
      She even knocked out Shah’s TEETH during their bout but her battered rival appears open to a rematch.

      Shah said: “If I could fight Brit again, I think what I’d do is – although I fought the way I like to fight, I backed off more than maybe I should have.
      “And I’d probably try to do other things I wouldn’t normally do.”

      The face of boxing dominated and dropped his middleweight counterpart on his way to earning a unanimous decision victory.
      YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, however, was far from impressed by the Mexican’s display and claimed he’d have difficulty dealing with his power if they ever fought.
      He said: “Yeah Charlo is not really giving him anything, not really giving him that power.
      “Yeah, wait till Canelo gets my power, you know? Just wait, brother.”

      Paul has been publicly campaigning for a showdown with boxing’s former pound-for-pound king for the best part of two years.
      Four-weight champion Canelo recently revealed he doesn’t respect the former Disney actor as a fighter.
      But he’s not opposed to sharing the ring with him, telling The Nelk Boys: “I think it’s good because other people who never watch boxing, they don’t know anything about boxing.
      “They want to watch Jake Paul because he brings fans from other worlds, not boxing fans.
      “That’s good because everybody enjoys it. What they do, I think they do for business, and you need to respect that.”
      Paul, 26, hasn’t set foot inside the ring since his August showdown with UFC legend Nate Diaz, whom he defeated via unanimous decision.

      Nieves presented him with a cupcake and a candle before he was spotted smiling after receiving a birthday cake.
      Colon also received a signed boxing glove from rapper Daddy Yankee.
      Now fans were glad to see the tragic star in high spirits once again after his mum provided a fresh update.
      Wearing a vest and red hat, Nieves grabbed the hands of her son and danced with him as the tunes blasted out in the background.

      The Puerto Rican fighter suffered a bleed on the brain back in 2015 following his fight with Terrel Williams.
      Colon was subjected to repeated blows to the back of his head during the bout, which caused part of his skull to collapse.
      The boxer managed to leave the ring on his own but became dizzy and nauseous in the dressing room.
      Colon went into a coma for 221 days and has since been looked after at Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital in Orange Park, Florida.

      It remains unclear how much the former sportsman may recover from the damage but many will take this fresh update as him showing good progress.
      Meanwhile, former heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder broke down in tears while discussing Colon’s condition following his win over Robert Helenius a year ago.
      The Bronze Bomber pointed to Colon as an example of the dangers boxers face when they enter the ring and showed sympathy for his fellow fighter.

      Fury, however, is seemingly using the MMA man-mountain as a tune-up bout ahead of his long-overdue undisputed title fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
      But the podgy physique he showed during his face-off with Ngannou last month has Froch convinced the undersized Usyk can do a number on him.
      He told Best Gambling Sites: “Is Fury at his best? He puts weight on between fights.
      “He’s carrying a lot of belly fat around, he’s got love handles.”

      “And if Fury is not firing on all cylinders, and Usyk turns up and puts on a career-best performance, Usyk will win and win comfortably.”
      Froch, however, doesn’t foresee The Gypsy King taking the biggest fight of his career lightly and expects him to enter it in tip-top shape.
      He continued: “I just think it’s going to be taken seriously by both of them.
      “And a good Fury beats a good Usyk in a good very close fight and an awkward fight.

      “I think Fury nullifies his work and ties him up. I’m not so sure if he gets the stoppage.
      “I just think that the size of Fury will be a problem. I don’t think Usyk can make that range up against the 6 ‘9 Fury.”
      Fury and Uysk’s historic undisputed heavyweight title fight was officially announced last week.
      SunSport understands the pair are set to trade blows in Saudi Arabia on December 23.
      But the first undisputed heavyweight title fight in over 24 years could be pushed back into next year depending on the outcome of Fury’s upcoming clash with Ngannou.

      Despite having twice competed in MMA, Danis goes into the clash with the YouTuber-turned-boxer as a 5/1 underdog.
      But long-time pal and training partner McGregor expects the BJJ ace to defy the odds and batter the elder Paul brother.
      The Notorious told All Out Fighting: “Dillon’s gonna win, Dillon will win.”
      McGregor, 35, had plans to train with Danis ahead of the lucrative crossover fight.

      But they fell through after his pal welcomed his first child into the world.

      Barring a few clips on social media, Danis has kept most of his training under wraps – so much so that even McGregor is in the dark about how his camp is going.
      He admitted: “So, I don’t know the ins and outs. I know he’s doing well, he’s still training and he’s gonna go for it.

      “He’s had a baby, he had a new baby so I tried to bring him out. Dillon’s good.”
      The build-up to the fight has been dominated by Danis’ controversial social media trolling of Paul’s finance Nina Agdal.
      The New Yorker has repeatedly shared photos of the model with her past flames on Twitter, with each post inviting a pile on from trolls.
      Agdal was recently granted a restraining order after claiming Danis’ targeted campaign caused her to suffer ” humiliation, emotional distress, and reputational harm”.
      She’s also accused Danis of sharing hacked content from her Snapchat and a private photograph from a “romantic encounter” with a former lover ten years ago.
      Despite the relentless trolling, Agdal WILL be in attendance for her future hubby’s Manchester melee with Danis.
      Paul revealed: “Nina is a warrior, dude. Dillon Danis is a puddle.
      “Dillon Danis on Twitter, on X, behind a keyboard, is much different than Dillon Danis in person. I saw it, I witnessed it face to face. Just two separate entities.
