Tyson Fury Net Worth (Money & Salary)

Tyson Fury’s net worth and career earnings: What are they?

With a net worth estimated at $140 million, Tyson Fury is an Irish/British professional boxer. To date, he has earned at least $200 million from upfront payments and Pay Per View bonuses throughout his career. The net worth attributed to Tyson Fury includes a minimum guarantee of $100 million that he received for his match against Oleksandr Usyk in March 2024, which resulted in a loss for him via split decision.

This heavyweight gained international fame after defeating Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015, becoming the WBA (Super), IBF, IBO, WBO, and The Ring unified heavyweight champion. He experienced a notable draw against Deontay Wilder in December 2018 and later won a rematch against Wilder in February 2020. In August 2023, the docuseries “At Home With The Furies” premiered on Netflix. However, on March 18, 2024, Tyson suffered a defeat in a split decision against Oleksandr Usyk. Nevertheless, there are positives to consider, as mentioned earlier.

Early Life

Born in Wythenshawe, Manchester, England, in August 1988 to Irish parents Amber and John, Tyson Fury entered the world one month early. Doctors informed his parents that the likelihood of their baby surviving was low. John’s words reflect this reality:

“The doctors told me there was not much chance of him living. I had lost two daughters in the same way, who had been born prematurely.“

The name Tyson was selected by John because he wanted his son to embody a fighter’s spirit and triumph over his premature birth. At the time of Tyson’s birth, Mike Tyson was the reigning, undefeated heavyweight champion. Tyson’s mother endured 14 pregnancies, with only four surviving children. Tragically, when Tyson was 9, a daughter was born who did not survive beyond a few weeks. This incident had a profound impact on young Tyson, prompting him to direct his anger towards boxing. His father guided his training and continued in this role until 2011, when he was incarcerated.

At 11, Tyson decided to leave school and worked alongside his father and three brothers as laborers laying tarmac on roads.

Boxing Career

Initially denied the opportunity to compete for Ireland in the Olympics, Fury later obtained permission to represent both Ireland and Great Britain after tracing his heritage to Belfast. As an amateur, he clinched the ABA championship in 2008. Tyson made his professional boxing debut in December 2008, triumphing over Bela Gyongyosi. In November 2009, he secured the English Heavyweight title by defeating John McDermott. He subsequently faced McDermott again in June 2010, claiming the vacant English Heavyweight title once more. Fury captured the British and Commonwealth Heavyweight titles after defeating Dereck Chisora in July 2011. In 2012, he earned the Irish Heavyweight title from Martin Rogan and the WBO Inter-Continental Heavyweight title from Vinny Maddalone. Furthermore, he obtained the European and WBO International Heavyweight titles from Dereck Chisora in 2014.

Purse & Klitschko Fight

In 2015, the opportunity arose for Tyson to face Wladimir Klitschko in a championship match for the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO, Lineal, and The Ring heavyweight titles. This significant bout occurred on November 28, 2015, in Dusseldorf, Germany, before a packed audience.reach a total of $25 million from the fight. Klitschko was widely considered the favorite at 4 to 1 odds.

The bout lasted the full 12 rounds. After the match, Fury was declared the unanimous decision winner. For simply participating in the fight, Fury earned $7 million, while Klitschko’s earnings were approximately $23 million. Including Pay Per View bonuses, Tyson Fury’s total take was around $45 million.

This victory brought Fury’s record to 25 – 0, with 18 knockouts, positioning him for what was anticipated to be a lucrative rematch with Klitschko. The rematch was confirmed in April 2016; however, Fury’s situation deteriorated as he gained 100 pounds. By September 2016, Tyson was declared “medically unfit” for the scheduled fight. The bout faced postponement a second time after he reportedly failed a drug test for cocaine.

Fury fell into a severe depression, sharing in an interview with Rolling Stone:

“I’m struggling with a lot of personal demons, trying to shake them off, this has got nothing to do with my fighting – what I’m dealing with right now is my personal life. I haven’t been to the gym for months. I’ve been battling depression and I just don’t want to live anymore, if you understand what I’m saying. I’ve had more than enough. Forget about cocaine; I simply didn’t care. The desire to live has diminished significantly for me. I am seeking help, but they can’t do anything for me. What I have is incurable. Happiness is everything, and all the money, fame, and glory mean nothing if you are unhappy. I’m seeing psychiatrists who say I’ve got a version of bipolar disorder. I’m a manic depressive. I don’t even want to wake up. I wish for death every day. It’s troubling to say this with three children and a wonderful wife, isn’t it? But I just don’t want to live anymore. If I could take my own life – and if I wasn’t a Christian – I’d do it in a heartbeat. I just wish someone would end my life before I do it myself. I know I would face eternal punishment. I have been drinking excessively, from Monday to Sunday, and using cocaine. I can’t cope, and the only relief I find is when I’m completely intoxicated.”

Return to the Ring

After relinquishing his world titles, Tyson took over two years off to regain control of his life. He returned to the boxing ring in June 2018, achieving a victory against Sefer Seferi. In August of the same year, he triumphed over Francesco Pianeta.

In December 2018, Tyson went head-to-head with Deontay Wilder for the first time. Deontay was guaranteed $4 million for this match, while Tyson’s guarantee was $3 million. After accounting for all revenue, both fighters earned around $10 million as the bout concluded in a draw. Remarkably, not long after the fight, Tyson announced plans to donate his entire paycheck, estimated at $10 million, to charitable organizations.

Tyson claimed victory over Tom Schwarz by TKO in June 2019.

In September 2019, he won against Otto Wallin by unanimous decision.

Deontay Wilder Rematch

A rematch with Deontay Wilder was lined up for 2020. As the event drew near, it was disclosed that both boxers were set to receive $28 million alongside a 50/50 split of the pay-per-view profits.

Francis Ngannou Fight

In July 2023, news broke that Tyson had secured a deal to compete against UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. The fight was scheduled for October 28, 2023, in Saudi Arabia. Reports suggest that Tyson could ultimately earn around $25 million from this event.

Depending on Pay Per View performance, he could earn $50 million from the fight, while Francis earned $10 million.

For the fight against Oleksandr Usyk on March 18, 2024, Tyson Fury was assured $100 million, and Oleksandr was promised $45 million. Ultimately, Fury lost due to a split decision.
