Fury was meant to take on Usyk in February but the bout was postponed due to the ‘Gypsy King’ suffering a nasty cut to his eye.

After some concerns, a new date was found for the huge clash, and it means both fighters are set to receive an incredible amount of money…

Fury vs Usyk: Purse and prize money

Last year, an agreement was struck based on a 70/30 purse split in Fury’s favour – meaning the Brit is thought to be netting around $150million (£116m), according to the Independent.

Usyk accepted the minority share under the stipulation that the Gypsy King must donate £1m of his earnings to Ukraine.

While the final figure will not be known until after the fight, there were already strong suggestions that Fury make in excess of $100m.

Promoter Bob Arum discussed the pay for the bout and revealed if the ‘Gypsy King’ was offered only $100million, he wouldn’t be happy.

Speaking in October last year, Arum said: “If you told Tyson Fury he’s set to make $100 million, he’d really get p****d off.

“Because he thinks – and I think he’s right – that he’s gonna make a lot more than that.”

The event will be one of the biggest in boxing history and both Fury and Usyk are expected to be making an incredible amount of money.

However, if the fight is to be delayed for a second time due to one of them pulling out, they will end up having to lose some of their own cash.

Turki Alalshikh (chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, who are staging the fight) has revealed a potential fine for each fighter if it happens again.

If either Fury or Usyk pull out, they will have to pay £8m to their opponent.

He joined journalist Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour and said: “There will be $10m [£8m] (to be paid) if someone escapes from the fight (from their own money).”

Alalshikh has also said that if a fighter pulls out, they will be replaced.

He continued: “I also guarantee another big fight on the same night. I will make fans around the world know if someone is scared for this fight.

“If Usyk is scared I will call for Joshua. Tyson, if Tyson is scared I will call for another fighter that Usyk wants.”
