What is Tyson Fury’s net worth and career earnings?

He then had an infamous draw against Deontay Wilder in December 2018, followed by a rematch in February 2020 which he won. In August 2023, a docuseries, “At Home With The Furies,” debuted on Netflix. On March 18, 2024, Tyson was defeated in a split decision in a bout against Oleksandr Usyk. On the plus side, as we mentioned a moment ago

Early Life

Tyson Fury was born in Wythenshawe, Manchester, England, in August 1988 to Irish parents Amber and John. He was born one month premature. Doctors told his parents that there was a low chance that their baby would survive. In John’s words:

“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.”

John chose the name Tyson because his baby was a fighter and survived the premature birth. At the time Tyson was born, Mike Tyson was the undefeated, undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Tyson’s mother had 14 pregnancies, with only four surviving children. When Tyson was 9, his mother gave birth to a daughter who died a few weeks after being born. The experience deeply affected a young Tyson. He began channeling his anger into boxing. His father trained him and would go on serving as his trainer until 2011 when he went to jail. At 11 years old, Tyson dropped out of school and began working alongside his father and three brothers tarmacking roads.

Boxing Career

Fury was denied the opportunity to represent Ireland at the Olympic Games but was later allowed to represent Ireland and Great Britain after tracing his ancestry to Belfast. As an amateur, he won the ABA championship in 2008. Fury made his professional boxing debut in December 2008 when he defeated Bela Gyongyosi. In November 2009 he defeated John McDermott to win the English Heavyweight title. Fury once again defeated McDermott in June 2010 to win the vacant English Heavyweight title. He beat Dereck Chisora in July 2011 to win the British and Commonwealth Heavyweight titles. Fury won the Irish Heavyweight title from Martin Rogan in 2012, the WBO Inter-Continental Heavyweight title from Vinny Maddalone in 2012, and the European and WBO International Heavyweight titles from Dereck Chisora in 2014.

Tyson Fury Net Worth

The stars aligned in 2015 to have Tyson face off against Wladimir Klitschko in a world heavyweight title match for the WBA, Super, IBF, WBO, IBO, Lineal, and The Ring heavyweight titles. On November 28, 2015, the fight occurred in Dusseldorf, Germany, in front of a capacity crowd of 55,000. Oddsmakers had Klitschko as the clear favorite at 4 to 1 odds.

The match went the full length. After 12 rounds, Fury was declared the unanimous winner by decision. Fury made $7 million to just to appear in the fight, while Klitschko garnered about $23 million. Adding the Pay Per View bonuses, Tyson Fury pulled in an estimated $45 million.

The win brought Fury’s record to 25 – 0 with 18 knockouts and set him up for what should have been an enormous payday from a rematch against Klitschko. The rematch was announced in April 2016. Unfortunately, Fury proceeded to gain 100 pounds. In September 2016, Tyson was declared “medically unfit” for the fight. The fight was postponed a second time after he reportedly failed a drug test for cocaine.

Fury slipped into a deep depression, stating in an interview with Rolling Stone:

“I’m going through a lot of personal demons, trying to shake them off, this has got nothing to do with my fighting – what I’m going through right now is my personal life. I’ve not been in a gym for months. I’ve been going through depression. I just don’t want to live anymore, if you know what I’m saying. I’ve had total enough of it. Never mind cocaine. I just didn’t care. I don’t want to live anymore. So cocaine is a little minor thing compared to not wanting to live anymore. I am seeing help, but they can’t do nothing for me. What I’ve

got is incurable. I don’t want to live. All the money in the world, fame and glory, means nothing if you’re not happy. I’m seeing psychiatrists. They say I’ve got a version of bipolar. I’m a manic depressive. I don’t even want to wake up. I hope I die every day. And that’s a bad thing to say when I’ve got three children and a lovely wife isn’t it? But I don’t want to live anymore. And if I could take me own life – and I wasn’t a Christian – I’d take it in a second. I just hope someone kills me before I kill me self. I’ll have to spend eternity in hell. I’ve been out drinking, Monday to Friday to Sunday, and taking cocaine. I can’t deal with it and the only thing that helps me is when I get drunk out of mind.”

Return to the Ring

After vacating his world titles, Tyson took the next 2+ years off as he got his life back on track. He returned to the ring in June 2018 with a win against Sefer Seferi. Tyson made a return to action in August 2018 by defeating Francesco Pianeta.

In December 2018, Tyson took on Deontay Wilder for the first time. Deontay was guaranteed $4 million for the fight, whereas Tyson was guaranteed $3 million. The match that earned both fighters approximately $10 million at the end of all revenue calculation ended with a draw. Amazingly, soon after the fight, Tyson announced he intended to donate his entire paycheck, estimated at $10 million, to charity.

In June 2019, Tyson defeated Tom Schwarz by TKO.

He beat Otto Wallin by unanimous decision in September 2019.

Deontay Wilder was supposed to face a rematch later in 2020. As the date drew near, it was announced that both boxers are guaranteed $28 million and a 50/50 split of pay-per-view proceeds.

Dillian Whyte Earnings
