Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou: A Battle of the Baddest Worth Millions

Boxing and MMA Collide

Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou are set to face off in a crossover clash for the ages, as the worlds of boxing and MMA collide. The highly anticipated bout will take place in Saudi Arabia this Saturday.

Million-Dollar Showdown

Both fighters are expected to rake in millions from this epic showdown. Let's take a closer look at the estimated net worth of Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou as they prepare to enter the Battle of Baddest.

Tyson Fury's Rise to Riches

Tyson Fury, also known as the Gypsy King, has his sights set on becoming the world's richest sports star. His fight with Ngannou is predicted to earn him a minimum of $50 million (£41m), according to Derek Chisora.

Fury's promoter, Bob Arum, believes that the three-fight deal with the Saudis could bring in up to $200 million (£165m) for the British boxer. This adds to Fury's already substantial fortune, which he accumulated throughout his prizefighting career.

His victories over Deontay Wilder and Dillian Whyte earned him around £70 million, and his stadium fight with Derek Chisora added another £20 million to his bank account. With his next three fights expected to bring in another £165 million, Fury's total boxing earnings could surpass £100 million.

In addition to his boxing income, Fury earns $2 million (£1.6m) from sponsors, including his own clothing and drinks line, as well as Wow Hydrate, according to Forbes.

Francis Ngannou's Payday

Francis Ngannou, the former UFC champion, made headlines when he left the organization and transitioned to boxing. While his final pay for his last UFC win over Ciryl Gane was $600,000 (£493,000), his pay-per-view bonuses and points would have brought his earnings into the millions.

Ngannou's move to boxing comes with a hefty payday. Tyson Fury announced that Ngannou would make a whopping $10 million (£8.2m) for the fight. This is a significant increase compared to the $8 million (£6.5m) guarantee he was offered to remain at the UFC and fight Jon Jones.

Outside of the ring, Ngannou is sponsored by Gym Shark and even had a brief cameo in the recent Fast and Furious film released in 2021.
