In an iconic match, Oleksandr Usyk emerged victorious over Tyson Fury and became the undisputed heavyweight champion, cementing his name in the boxing world. The Ukrainian won the fight via split decision and achieved the feat in his second division as a professional boxer. Despite this big loss, Tyson Fury’s financial position remains unaffected. Fury, who has an estimated net worth of up to $220 million, remains one of the richest men in boxing. His earnings in 2024 reached $50 million, primarily from fights and endorsements, ranking him 42nd among the world’s highest-paid athletes.
Fury’s wealth will not be inherited by his children
The British boxer’s entrepreneurial activities, including energy drinks, sports bars and co-authoring books, have further increased his fortune. Even though Fury lost to Usyk in his recent bout, this fight is estimated to see his net worth increase by an astonishing $100 million, with some projecting his earnings up to $127 million. However, Fury’s wealth would not be inherited by his seven children. He strongly believes in the importance of hard work and self-reliance, and he views inherited wealth as a hindrance to personal growth. Fury once said, “I want my kids to earn their own money, make their own paths and become their own people.
He will have to pay more tax but will still be left with lot of money
In fact, Fury plans to support his children through business ventures and investments, emphasizing the importance of forging their own path to success. According to Stocklytics, if Fury were to earn $127 million from the boxing match, he would have to pay more than $56 million in income tax and almost $2.5 million in national insurance. This will leave him with a total prize money of over $67 million.

After Saturday’s clash with Usyk, Fury sparked controversy when he appeared to accuse judges of favoring his opponent because his country, Ukraine, is at war. Speaking in the ring after the fight he said, “I believe I won that fight. I believe he won a few rounds, but I won most of them. It was one of those decisions in boxing. We both fought a good fight. Best we could do. And you know his country is at war. But make no mistake, I won that fight, in my opinion and I’ll be back. We got a rematch.”
