You may be wondering what Tyson Fury’s net worth is, as the British professional boxer has made his name as one of the greatest fighters of his generation.
Though he is far from the richest person in the world or as wealthy as other sports personalities such as David Beckham, Michael Jordan, Cristiano Ronaldo, or Lewis Hamilton, he is ranked 42nd on Forbes’ list of the highest-paid athletes in the world this year.
Tyson Fury’s net worth stands at $50 million, but not all of it comes from his boxing career. He’s made his millions both on and off the battleground – he even has his own Netflix show.

We look into how Tyson Fury makes his millions and other ventures he takes on when the boxing gloves are off.
Tyson Fury’s net worth as a boxing champion
Tyson Fury is a two-time British heavyweight boxing world champion who has held the World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight title since 2020. Named after the legendary American boxer Mike Tyson by his dad, Fury was already making waves in the amateur circuit at the age of 10.
Some of his greatest knockout wins have been against opponents such as Derek Chisora, Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder. He hadn’t tasted defeat in his 16-year career until recently against Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk due to a split decision (where two of three judges pick the same fighter, while the third judge selects the other competitor).
While this means that he lost his heavyweight champion title, he could win it back when he fights Usyk again on 15 December this year.
Having found such success in the boxing ring, it’s no wonder that Fury made millions from it. He secured a five-fight deal with ESPN and Top Rank in 2019, which was valued at $100 million. He created history by becoming the most successful purse bid of $41 million in December 2021 (when the highest bidder wins the right to put on the fight) after being challenged by the WBC president to defend his title.
Tyson Fury set for the silver screen
Outside the boxing ring, Fury has made appearances in the documentary biopic Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King, and shared a glimpse into his family life on the Netflix show At Home with the Furys.
He published an autobiography about his struggle with drugs, alcohol and mental health called Behind The Mask in November 2019, which became an Amazon bestseller in 24 hours. A year later, his second book The Furious Method also became a Sunday Times bestseller.
In a surprise move, he was a guest vocalist for Robbie Williams' album The Christmas Present, where he sang Bad Sharon. Fury also released a cover of Sweet Caroline to raise money for the men's mental health charity Talk Club in 2022.
But that’s not where all his money comes from. His sponsorship deals have also upped his net worth, with earnings from the popular Betr sports betting app and his venture capital platform Anti Fund with entrepreneur Geoffrey Woo.
More recently, Fury expanded his business ventures by launching a range of energy drinks under the brand Furocity Energy, as competition to Red Bull and Monster Energy.
