      Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois combined net worth: How much have the pair earned in their careers?

      by

      DANIEL DUBOIS will look to cause one of the great heavyweight upsets when he takes on Oleksandr Usyk this weekend.The Brit, 25, suffered the first professional defeat of his career three years ago when compatriot Joe Joyce earned a 10th round stoppage victory.

      Since then, Dubois has put together a four-fight winning streak and obtained the WBA regular title.
      But he remains a heavy underdog heading into the clash – which will take place at the Tarczynski Arena in Wroclaw, Poland on Saturday night.
      That is because Dubois is coming up against an all-time great in Ukrainian Usyk, 36.
      The former cruiserweight king was a decorated amateur, claiming gold at the 2012 Olympic Games.

      He then turned pro and won a world title in just his 10th fight.
      Usyk went on to become undisputed champion in the 200lb division, before he moved up to heavyweight and dethroned Anthony Joshua.
      He defeated AJ again in their rematch last year, with this the first defence of his title since then.
      But what are the two fighters’ career earnings heading into this heavyweight dust-up?

      What is Oleksandr Usyk’s net worth?

      Neither man’s net worth has been officially reported, but Usyk’s career earnings are estimated to be around the £60m mark.
      The majority of that came in his last outing – the rematch with Joshua in Saudi Arabia – where he collected in the region of £42m.
      He earned £15m from the first AJ fight – which took place in London – and £1.8m for the clash with Derek Chisora in 2020.
      His purse for his heavyweight debut against Chaz Witherspoon was about £1m, but before that he had never received a seven-figure sum.
      His highly-anticipated clash with Tony Bellew in 2018 saw him earn £750,000.
      Before that, all of his purses were under the £400,000 mark.
      He is expected to rake in £4.9m for the Dubois clash.
      What is Daniel Dubois’ net worth?

      Unlike Usyk, Dubois has only cracked the £1m mark for one of his fights so far.
      That came in the all-British bout with Joyce in 2020.
      As a result, his career earnings are only thought to be in the region of £5m.
      He began earning six-figure sums when he took on Richard Lartey in April 2019.
      A steady set of purses ranged between £100,000 and £500,000 prior to the Joyce fight – before he earned £1.75m for that blockbuster clash.
      In the three years that have followed, he has pulled in a further £1.8m across four fights.
      But now he is set to receive another life-changing cheque on Saturday.
      Read More on The Sun
      Dubois will earn around £1.6m for the Usyk fight – making it his second-highest payday to date.
      After Saturday night, Usyk and Dubois’ combined net worth will exceed £70m. More

      She told the cameras:  “I think Tyson is enjoying that little bit of family time.
      “That was half the reason that he didn’t want to box again, he didn’t want to keep leaving us. Just make the most of it and make these moments count.”
      The high-end accommodation sits on a three acres land in the idyllic village of Pontyclun, near the South Wales coast.

      Forest View Retreat owner David Edwards told WalesOnline: “No one has put a vitality pool in self-catering [accommodation] in south Wales.

      The family is also seen walking around the large wooden cabana with breathtaking panoramic views of the Welsh mountains.
      The house has a rustic interior with a Mediterranean touch inspired by Mallorca – where homeowner David Edwards spent his holidays.
      The property gets over hundreds of enquiries from families looking for a weekend stay like the Tyson’s

      Chatting to hosts Josie Gibson and Steve Jones via video link from their £1.7m Morecambe mansion, they were asked if they held anything back on the show.
      Paris replied: “At the start of the show we said ‘just come in and take the good, the bad and the ugly’.
      “I think it comes out better because you’ve got the highs and the lows, the good and the bad. We’re kind of open book people.”

      But Tyson cut in: “Well it wasn’t all access – I wanted them to film me in the shower, but they didn’t.”
      Smiling, his wife added: “Yes. We did declare that was off limits. The bathrooms were off limits.”

      The 30-year-old initially sat down to discuss his global fame, appeal to young people and how he keeps his private life under wraps.
      He then stood up to give Garraway a punching demonstration, much to the 56-year-old’s delight.
      KSI helped Madeley attach pads to his hands before Garraway, whose excited 14-year-old son William was watching on, started throwing windmill punches towards Madeley.

      Paul and MrBeast, whose real name is James Donaldson, aren’t the most expected of sparring duos, but it appears this is exactly what they’ve become.
      The two posed for photos which were subsequently shared on their X – formerly known as Twitter – profiles.
      Donning a bright blue pair of gloves and equally eye-catching pink shorts, Paul looked absolutely ripped in the snaps.
      “Training for the @elonmusk vs Zuckerberg undercard,” MrBeast jokingly captioned his post.

      While Paul simply said: “Good rounds with @MrBeast.”
      The shots had one fan saying: “If Logan fought like he does in WWE, MrBeast is not waking up for 2 days.”
      As one added: “Not gonna lie.. I kind of want to see Jimmy in a boxing match now.”
      And Paul’s physique has drawn plenty of attention recently, with one Instagram follower calling him a “Beast!!” following his most recent post.

      A second said: “Bro ain’t even start camp yet but he in peak physical condition.”
      While Paul was also labeled “Absolutely ripped” and “Cut like Hercules.”
      To date, Paul has gone 0-2-1 as a boxer, with his most recent bout having come in 2021 when he took on Floyd Mayweather Jr. in an exhibition fight.
      His return to the ring follows a recent win at the WWE’s SummerSlam over Ricochet in Detroit, Michigan.
      Paul and Danis are set to face off at the AO Arena in Manchester, United Kingdom on October 14.

      When is Tyson Fury’s next fight?
      Tyson Fury’s next fight is against Francis Ngannou on Saturday, October 28, 2023.
      The Gypsy King will face his mixed martial arts rival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in a bout to decide who takes on Mike Tyson’s old moniker of the Baddest Man on the Planet.
      Ngannou’s Saudi showdown with Fury will be a ten-round affair, although the Brit’s WBC heavyweight title won’t be on the line.
      The bout will happen in a standard boxing ring – not the metal cage Ngannou made his name in with the UFC.
      Read More in Sport
      Discussing the highly-anticipated event, Fury said: ”As soon as that bell goes, it’ll be bombs away!
      ”This guy is supposed to be the hardest puncher in the world, but let’s see how he reacts when he gets hit by the Big GK.
      “I can’t wait to get back out there under the lights. I’m looking forward to showing the world that The Gypsy King is the greatest fighter of his generation in an epic battle with another master of his craft.
      “Francis looked tough when he jumped in the ring after the Whyte fight, but there is no one tougher than me, and you’ll all see that in devastating fashion on October 28.”
      Most read in Boxing
      Also commenting on the upcoming fight, Ngannou said: “I’ve been waiting to meet Tyson in the ring for the past three years.
      “My dream was always to box, and to box the best.
      “After becoming the undisputed MMA Heavyweight Champion, this is my opportunity to make that dream come true and cement my position as the baddest man on the planet…
      “All I will say to Tyson for now is he better dance in that ring because if I touch him, he’s going to sleep.”

      What is Tyson Fury’s boxing record?
      Tyson Fury has a 33-0-1 record and has garnered a serious reputation amongst the boxing community.
      Following a controversial draw in 2018, The Gypsy King completed a sensational comeback in the sport when he battered Deontay Wilder in their rematch to win the WBC world title in 2020.
      It handed the American his first professional defeat, and also maintained Fury’s own unbeaten record, before the Brit went on to stop Wilder in the 11th round of their thrilling trilogy bout in 2021.
      He has since gone to beat Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora. More

      Who is Tyson Fury’s mum Amber?

      by

      IT’S FAIR to say that the Fury family have cemented themselves in boxing history.Tyson Fury has boxed in front of millions in stadiums and for those watching at home, but one person who has never watched one of his matches is his own mum, Amber.

      Who is Tyson Fury’s mum Amber?
      Amber Fury is mum to Heavyweight world champ Tyson Fury, whose father is John Fury.
      Unlike her famous family, she has remained completely out of the spotlight and there are no photos of her.
      Amber has also never been to watch one of son’s fights and, according to Fury, is not interested in his world heavyweight belts, with her only concern being he is “healthy and happy”.
      Fury told the Telegraph: “She has never been to one of my fights, amateur or pro, and never been in the public eye at all.

      “My mam doesn’t care if I’m world champion or not, as long as I’m healthy and happy. 
      “You could give my mother that table full of £50 notes and diamonds and it wouldn’t change who she is, ever.”
      Fury also revealed in his memoir Behind The Mask, that his mum is not fully aware of his superstardom.
      And she was puzzled when so many fans asked for pictures during a shopping trip following his 2018 draw with Deontay Wilder.
      Most read in Boxing
      Fury famously went on to beat Wilder in the 2020 rematch, before winning again in their 2021 trilogy battle.
      He wrote: “To be honest, my mum doesn’t fully understand what I have achieved as a boxer.
      “I took her out shopping one time after the Wilder fight and I was being stopped for photographs and autographs everywhere I went in Manchester and she couldn’t understand it.
      “She actually said, ‘Hey, son, how do you know so many people?’
      “I had to explain to her that I was the heavyweight champion of the world and a lot of people had watched me and supported me. That was actually very special.”
      How many children does Amber have?
      During her marriage to John Fury, Amber had four children.
      Along with Tyson – who was named after the boxing legend Mike Tyson – they had two more sons, Shane and Hugh.
      Their daughter, Ramona, tragically passed away months after birth.
      After they split, Amber’s ex-husband John went onto marry his second wife Chantal.
      Together they had two sons – which includes Love Island star and boxing champ Tommy Fury.
