Tyson Fury is set to make at least £25million in upcoming fight with Dillian Whyte - with potentially much more coming in. Over the past two years the Gypsy King has almost trebled his net worth to push him higher up boxing's rich list and now he's in for another huge payday.
Having defeated Deontay Wilder twice, Fury will now defend his WBC heavyweight title against Dillian Whyte on April 23 in a fight which should see see him make at least £25million. He had already broken the £100m mark in career earnings after his set of trilogy bouts with Wilder.
According to figures, he is reported to have a net worth of between £100m and £120m following last year's victory over Wilder, although the figure could in fact be higher. Fury had signed a five-fight deal with ESPN, which was believed to have been worth around £80m.

The 33-year-old's coffers will be boosted from the title fight against Whyte, from which he is entitled to 80 per cent (approximately £22m) of Frank Warren's £31m winning purse bid. Adding to that, both fighters' purses will likely be boosted by their share of the pay per view sales.
Wembley Stadium will hold the all-British blockbuster bout - the first time that either boxer has fought there and Fury's first fight in the UK since 2018. Should Fury emerge victorious, he'll likely earn another huge payday once he faces either Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk - whoever emerges victorious from their upcoming rematch.
Therefore, by 2023, Fury could quite easily find his net worth to be around the £150m mark. Rumours emerged last year of a two-fight deal with Joshua - which would be extremely lucrative for them both.
