Tyson Fury, the winner of the WBC title in the overweight, said he earned about $ 61 million for his fight against the former UFC champion Francis Nganna. This became his greatest career fee.
In his previous three duels, Fury received an average $ 29 million for each battle, against Derek Chisora, Dillian White and Deontey Weilder. His highest fee was for this fight against Wight - $ 36 million.
Fury's battle from Nganna took place on October 29 in Saudi Riyadh. Even after Fury was in a knockdown in the third round, he was able to climb and defeat the French-French fighter with a separate decision of the judges.
Fury's next fight is scheduled for February 17, 2024, where he will meet with the World Champion WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF Alexander Usik. The winner of this match will be the first absolute world champion in overweight with four main titles.
