    The Gypsy King – who has won every belt in boxing – has shifted his focus to becoming the world’s richest sports star.

    He has also agreed to face Oleksandr Usyk afterwards with their agreement believed to include two bouts.

    That is already added on to the mass fortune he has acquired during his prizefighting career already – which he has partly used to build up a vast car collection including TWO Rolls Royces.
    His two rematch wins over Deontay Wilder and knockout of Dillian Whyte banked him around £70m.

    He also had another stadium fight with Derek Chisora – which he won in round ten – with reports revealing that made him another £20m.
    It takes his total boxing earnings to over £100m, with potentially another £165m to come over his next three fights.
    Forbes say Fury, who travels by private jet despite having SEVEN mouths to feed, earns $2m (£1.6m) from sponsors, which include his own clothing and drinks line as well as Wow Hydrate.

    Francis Ngannou
    Ngannou walked out on the UFC when his contract expired having seen a move to boxing previously blocked.
    During his reign as UFC champ, the Cameroonian would have received pay-per-view bonuses for his fights.
    Eyebrows were raised when it was revealed Ngannou only made $600,00 (£493,000) for his final UFC win over Ciryl Gane.
    Although with his PPV pounds, his final pay cheque would have been well into the millions.

    Still, it is not a fraction of the $10m (£8.2m) that Fury announced Ngannou would make after leaving the UFC for the boxing ring.
    He said: “Everyone said he was an idiot for walking away from the UFC and now all of a sudden he’s a genius, isn’t he?
    “Guy’s about to make $10million. Come on! Egg in their face! Francis is going to make that bag. Rich!”

    Ngannou was believed to have been offered an $8m (£6.5m) guarantee to remain at the UFC and fight Jon Jones.
    Outside the cage, the heavyweight is sponsored by Gym Shark and had a brief cameo in the ninth Fast and Furious film, released in 2021.

    Who is Trent Alexander-Arnold and what happened to him?

    TRENT Alexander-Arnold is a professional footballer and savvy businessman who hails from Liverpool. But he’s been in the headlines for a very different reason of late, so let’s take a look at what happened to him.

    Who is Trent Alexander-Arnold?
    Trent John Alexander-Arnold, born October 7, 1998 in Liverpool, joined his hometown club aged at the age of six and graduated from the Liverpool FC Academy.
    Since then the youngster has risen through the ranks and into the senior squad.
    Alexander-Arnold made his first-team debut in the League Cup against Tottenham Hotspur.
    But his breakthrough came in 2017 after a serious injury to former Reds defender Nathaniel Clyne.
    READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
    He has since won everything there is to win in English football, including the Premier League and Champions League.
    Trent is also a longtime international player, having represented England at every youth level.
    The wing-back played his first senior game for England in June 2018 in a friendly against Costa Rica at Elland road, which the Three Lions won 2-0, and has since gone on to become a regular in the international setup.
    Alexander-Arnold is also a businessman, with his limited company recording more than £3.5million in assets since he launched it aged 18.
    Most read in Football
    All Star Sports Ltd was set up in October 2016 to focus on the Liverpool the footballer’s image rights.
    This talent for business is nothing new — as a kid he made a small fortune selling clothes worn by Liverpool and Everton players, saying the profits went to buying his parents a house.
    He also signed an extension to his boot deal with Under Armour in 2019, reportedly worth £6.4m over four years.
    Does Trent Alexander-Arnold have a girlfriend?
    According to multiple reports, Trent’s girlfriend is British model and influencer Hannah Atkins.
    Atkins does her best to keep her personal life under wraps, even opting for a private account on Instagram.
    Alexander-Arnold is also yet to confirm that they are dating, choosing to focus on football when using social media.
    However, the pair were pictured together in Ibiza last summer, enjoying a romantic getaway.
    They were also spotted having lunch two years ago in Cheshire, following an injury to the Liverpool star that kept him out of Gareth the squad for the Euros.
    What is Trent Alexander-Arnold’s net worth?
    Reports of Alexander-Arnold’s net worth vary dramatically.
    Numerous outlets including GiveMeSport have the wing-back’s net worth at around £2.5million, which seems low considering his reportedly £180,000 weekly wage, sponsorship agreements and business ventures.
    However, SalarySport puts his net worth very specifically at £28,480,400, which seems like it might be more in the ballpark.
    What happened to Trend Alexander-Arnold during Storm Babet?
    Alexander-Arnold avoided death by inches on October 19 after a 40ft electricity pylon was uprooted in treacherous 70mph winds caused by Storm Babet.
    The high-voltage power line, weighing around half a ton, smashed on to the car in front of the England ace’s £90,000 Range Rover.
    Trent slammed on the brakes and swerved before hitting the BMW X5.
    The shaken Liverpool star was then seen getting out and speaking to the other driver which was struck by the power line.

    Both drivers miraculously escaped unharmed from the crash on a wet country lane near Knutsford, Cheshire.
    Storm Babet has caused chaos around the country, leaving three people dead at the time of writing. More

    He began his racing career at the tender age of 12, competing in grass track racing, moving on to Hot Rod racing, touring cars and the British Saloon Car Championship before stepping up to Formula 3 in 1982.
    The following season Martin competed against Ayrton Senna for the Formula Three Championship, which he lost to the Brazilian in the closing laps of the final race.
    Brundle’s Formula One career started the next year with Tyrell, who he raced for between 1984 and 1986.
    READ MORE ON F1
    In F1 he also raced for Zakspeed (1987), Williams (1988 — one grand prix), Brabham (1989, 1991) Benetton (1992), Ligier (1993, 1995), McLaren (1994), and Jordan (1996).
    He is considered one of the best F1 drivers to to have never won a grand prix, achieving numerous podium finishes in inferior cars.
    Martin was the World Sportscar champion in 1988 and won Le Mans 24 Hours in 1990, cementing his place in history as a racing driver.
    Since hanging up his racing gloves, Brundle has commentated on F1 for ITV, the BBC and Sky Sports.
    Most read in Motorsport
    He won the Royal Television Society programme award for best sports pundit in 1998, 1999, 2005 and 2006.
    What are some of Martin Brundle’s most famous gridwalk moments?
    The former McLaren ace has been walking the grid trying to get interviews with drivers and celebrities pre-race since 1997.
    But the 62-year-old has admitted he doesn’t like doing the gridwalk at all.
    He said on X, formerly Twitter: “There’s a reason why I’ve never watched back an F1 gridwalk in a quarter of a century of doing them.
    “You have no idea how much I dislike doing them but somehow those crazy moments have defined my professional career.
    “Oh well, that’s the way it is.”
    Here we take a look at some of his most memorable gridwalk moments:
    US Grand Prix 2021
    The Sky Sports reporter wanted to have a chat with special guest Megan Thee Stallion on the grid, but was initially confronted by a ‘man mountain’ — only for Megan to lightheartedly slap her security guard on the wrist.
    Brundle muttered, “That’s a very big bloke in front of her,” before asking: “Megan, Martin Brundle from British television, how are you? Megan Thee Stallion, you’re a freestyle rapper, have you got any rap for us today on Formula One?”
    The American star laughed as she admitted: “I have no rap today, I’m sorry.
    But the interview swiftly concluded when ‘Draco Malfoy’ appeared — with the irritable blond shoving Brundle away.
    The Malfoy lookalike scowled at the reporter as he led Megan away.
    In his Sky Sports column, Brundle laughed off the incident.
    He wrote: “I did chuckle on Monday.
    “After all the blood, sweat, tears and broken bones, the glorious victories and dismal failures, the monstrous crashes, the quadruple stints on a treacherous rainy night in Le Mans, guiding a 1250 bhp flying bedsted through Monaco qualifying, along with 25 years of broadcasting, I’ve finally become mildly well known for being ignored by celebrities whilst simultaneously being swatted to one side by a man mountain and told off by a Malfoy lookalike doubtless attending his first F1 race.
    “My gridwalk return after two years was probably a bit too cheeky in Austin but nonetheless a lot of fun.
    “Actually, my real claim to fame is that I once played snooker with Mark Knopfler, and what a lovely bloke he was too.”
    US Grand Prix 2022
    The F1 pundit tried and failed to chat to the Hollywood actor during his traditional pre-race walk before lights out at the US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas.
    But Pitt awkwardly rebuffed Brundle, much to the disappointment of F1 fans.
    The 64-year-old revealed Pitt had been in contact with him since their run-in.
    He tweeted: “Got a note from Brad Pitt explaining what happened with our near miss on the Austin grid.
    “Unnecessary, but nice of him. Absolutely nobody is obliged to talk to me on the grid, but as I endeavour to make 10/12 minutes of live and unscripted sports TV I’m obliged to at least ask.”
    Miami Grand Prix 2022
    At the inaugural Miami GP, Brundle delivered one of the most chaotic gridwalks yet.
    The popular F1 pundit brushed shoulders with the likes of DJ Khaled and Britain’s own David Beckham.
    But Brundle struggled with some of the lesser names on the grid.
    He mistook basketballer Paolo Banchero for NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes, which to viewers was both “incredibly awkward and hysterically funny”.
    British Grand Prix 2023
    Cara Delevingne appeared to be unaware of Brundle’s gridwalk authority and brutally snubbed the former F1 driver as he attempted to grab an interview.
    He began by talking to a member of Delevingne’s entourage and said: “She doesn’t want to talk but everybody needs to talk on the grid.
    “That’s the deal now, everybody talks on the grid.”
    He then approached Delevingne and said: “Can we have a quick chat, [for] Sky F1? Good to see you on the grid.”
    To which Delevingne replied: “No.” and looked awkwardly at her entourage.
    Delevingne refused again and Brundle reiterated: “The deal is everybody has to speak on the grid.”
    She then said: “I can’t hear anything, I’m so sorry.”
    Brundle then said sarcastically as he walked away: “I’m sure it would have been extremely interesting.”
    What is Martin Brundle’s net worth?
    According to CelebrityNetWorth, Martin is worth a mouth-watering $100million (£82.3million).

    Brundle amassed his fortune as a successful racing driver, competing in multiple forms of motorsport.
    He is also one of the top racing commentators and continues to cover F! for Sky Sports. More

    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.

    But KSI’s manager Mams Taylor hit back: “Absolute nonsense! This kid is so sour.”
