The reported net worth includes a minimum guarantee of $100 million that he received for fighting Oleksandr Usyk in March 2024, a match that he lost by split decision.

His career also includes a notable draw against Deontay Wilder in December 2018, followed by a victorious rematch in February 2020.

Early Life

Born in Wythenshawe, Manchester, England, in August 1988 to Irish parents Amber and John, Tyson Fury entered the world one month early. His parents were informed by doctors that their newborn had a slim chance of survival. John’s reflection on this moment is:

“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.“

In honor of his fighting spirit and survival, John named him Tyson, inspired by Mike Tyson, who at that time was the undefeated heavyweight champion. Of the 14 pregnancies Tyson’s mother had, only four resulted in living children. When Tyson was nine years old, they welcomed a daughter who sadly passed away shortly after birth, marking a profound impact on young Tyson. He began to direct his frustrations into boxing, trained by his father, who remained his coach until he was incarcerated in 2011.

At just 11 years old, Tyson dropped out of school to work with his father and three brothers in road tarmacking.

Boxing Career

Despite initially being denied the opportunity to represent Ireland at the Olympic Games, he later earned the chance to compete for both Ireland and Great Britain by tracing his roots to Belfast. As an amateur, Tyson secured the ABA championship title in 2008. He stepped into professional boxing in December 2008, achieving victory over Bela Gyongyosi. In November 2009, Tyson defeated John McDermott to claim the English Heavyweight title and faced McDermott again in June 2010 to reclaim this title. He triumphed over Dereck Chisora in July 2011, earning the British and Commonwealth Heavyweight titles. Fury captured the Irish Heavyweight title from Martin Rogan in 2012, the WBO Inter-Continental Heavyweight title from Vinny Maddalone later that same year, and the European and WBO International Heavyweight titles from Dereck Chisora in 2014.

Klitschko Fight & Purse

The year 2015 saw a pivotal encounter as Tyson Fury squared off against Wladimir Klitschko for a world heavyweight title match encompassing the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO, Lineal, and The Ring heavyweight titles. This significant bout occurred on November 28, 2015, in Dusseldorf, Germany, where a packed audience witnessed the event.

earn upwards of $50 million from the match, depending on pay-per-view sales and other revenue streams.

With a total attendance of 55,000, Klitschko was favored at 4 to 1 odds.

After an intense match that went the distance, Tyson Fury emerged as the unanimous winner, following 12 rounds of boxing. For just showing up to the ring, Fury earned $7 million, while Klitschko made around $23 million. When factoring in Pay Per View bonuses, Fury’s earnings soared to an estimated total of $45 million.

This victory brought Fury’s record to 25 wins with 0 losses and 18 knockouts, positioning him for a potentially lucrative rematch against Klitschko, which was announced in April 2016. Unfortunately, Fury gained 100 pounds during this time, and by September 2016, he was deemed “medically unfit” to fight. The rematch faced another setback after he reportedly failed a drug test for cocaine.

In the aftermath, Fury fell into a severe depression. He shared his struggles during an interview with Rolling Stone:

“I’m dealing with many personal demons, trying to push them away; this has nothing to do with my fighting – my current issues are personal. I haven’t entered a gym for months. I’ve been battling depression and wish I didn’t have to live anymore, if that makes sense. I’m absolutely fed up with it. Forget cocaine; I just lost all interest. The desire to live has become secondary to everything else. I’m seeking help, but it feels futile. What I have isn’t something they can fix. The allure of money, fame, and glory is meaningless without happiness. I’ve consulted psychiatrists who say I may be bipolar. I experience manic depression. I dread waking up each day. It’s a harsh statement considering I have three children and a loving wife, isn’t it? Still, I don’t want to exist anymore. If I weren’t a Christian, I would end my own life in a heartbeat. I just wish someone would take me out before I do it myself. I fear eternal damnation. I’ve been drinking heavily, from Monday to Sunday, and using cocaine. I can’t manage the pain, and alcohol is the only escape I find.”

Return to the Ring

After giving up his world titles, Tyson spent over two years getting his life back on track before re-entering the ring in June 2018, where he secured a victory over Sefer Seferi. In August of the same year, he also defeated Francesco Pianeta.

In December 2018, Fury faced Deontay Wilder for the first time, with Deontay guaranteed $4 million and Tyson $3 million for the bout. The fight ultimately generated around $10 million for each fighter after accounting for all income, concluding in a draw. Remarkably, Tyson announced post-fight his intention to donate his entire paycheck, estimated at $10 million, to charity.

In June 2019, Tyson won against Tom Schwarz by TKO.

Then, in September 2019, he defeated Otto Wallin by unanimous decision.

Deontay Wilder Rematch

A rematch with Deontay Wilder was set for 2020. As the event date drew near, both fighters were confirmed to receive guarantees of $28 million, in addition to a 50/50 share of pay-per-view earnings.

In July 2023, it was announced that Tyson had struck a deal to compete against UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. The bout took place on October 28, 2023, in Saudi Arabia, with reports suggesting that Tyson could ultimately earn over $50 million from the fight, contingent upon pay-per-view sales and additional revenues.
