      What is Fury’s net worth?
      Fury, 24, debuted in the sport with big boots to fill as the younger brother of heavyweight champion Tyson.
      But he shot to national fame in 2019 after entering popular reality TV show Love Island where he met now fiancee Molly-Mae Hague.
      His rising popularity saw Paul take notice and led to a massive box office grudge match between the two, which Fury won on points.
      Fury is believed to have made around £4m for the bout and his American rival claimed the Brit is earning £1.5m to fight KSI.

      What are the fight purses?
      The exact purse for either man is not yet known.
      But KSI is believed to be on a deal that includes PPV bonuses so his money could be made once the box office receipts are added up.
      Meanwhile, Dillon Danis – fighting on the undercard – said both he and Fury are being paid a flat fee.

      On Paul’s podcast, he said: “KSI is offering you like $1.5m which is way underpaid for Tommy, especially coming off that win. Tommy should be making $5-6m and it’s crazy and bizarre to me that Tommy is even entertaining that.”
      But KSI’s manager Mams Taylor hit back: “Absolute nonsense! This kid is so sour.”

      Heavyweight champion Fury faces the MMA star, who has Mike Tyson in his corner, in a boxing ring under Queensberry rules over ten rounds.
      Supporters are concerned that the fight will be a complete mismatch after a video emerged of Ngannou looking laboured in training.
      The Cameroonian-born star seemed to lack a hard-hitting punch as he prepared for the contest with his trainer.
      Fans are convinced it will be a routine win for Fury, saying: “This in slow motion?”

      Another added: “Man this ain’t gone be funny how much of a mismatch this is going to be.”
      A third reacted: “This has to be a joke, he has to be playing into the bad pad work scheme at this point.”
      A fourth suggested: “Naaaa Ngannou is getting smoked.”
      Despite backing from fans, Fury believes that his opponent will cause him more trouble than some other established heavyweight boxers.

      The Gypsy King said: “I think he’s going to be a bit of a bigger, tougher challenge than these other guys. These other guys are just boxers, this guy’s more than that.”
      But Fury is still aware he is the heavy favourite, adding: “If I lose to an MMA guy I’ll never be able to show my face in public again.
      “It’s going to ridicule me – people will chuck it at me forever.
      “If I get knocked out, then I want you all to laugh at me. That’s what I want, because I deserve it.”

      Tyson Fury’s undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk includes key contract clause, Eddie Hearn claims

      by

      EDDIE HEARN claimed there is a clause in Tyson Fury’s contract with Oleksandr Usyk that could guarantee a double-header between them.Fury is set to return on October 28 in a crossover clash against Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia.

      But, before the two heavyweight stars collide, the Gypsy King announced he had signed a deal to face Usyk after.
      According to rival promoter Hearn, the deal includes a rematch clause that means the two will fight twice.
      He told iFL TV: “I’ve heard that there’s a rematch clause whatever happens.”
      The title fight would offer the chance to crown the division’s first ever four-belt undisputed champion.

      But first, Fury must avoid an unthinkable and career-threatening defeat to boxing debutant Ngannou.
      Fury told TNT Sports: “He’s about 6ft 5in tall, he’s about 278 pounds, he’s about 18 or 19 stone, a dynamite puncher with both hands.
      “He’s recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the hardest puncher to have ever punched anything, so there’s that risk.
      “The biggest risk of all is fighting an MMA fighter, and I’m the world heavyweight champion, so what happens if he beats me? Ridiculed.

      “It would be like getting beat by Liverpool for Manchester United, 7-0, wouldn’t it? How do you come back from that?”
      Ngannou was less than impressed after Fury announced his fight with Usyk BEFORE their Saudi showdown.
      He tweeted: “I don’t know what’s the minimum medical suspension in boxing but I really don’t understand how Tyson can fight in December after what’s going to happen on 10/28.”

      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.”
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      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.”

      Another chimed in: “Bros gonna wait until Canelo hits 60.”
      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.

      Nieves regularly provides updates on her son’s health on social media.
      Earlier this year she posted a video titled “Prichard Colon-Melendez 5K run for the woods” that featured a clip of Colon on a trail in a specially adapted mobility chair.
      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.
