TYSON FURY could be set for a record-breaking set of paydays after landing blockbuster bouts in Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n
Firstly, Fury returns on October 28 in Riyadh against ex-champion Francis Ngannou in a huge crossover clash. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
But before he even welcomes the MMA star to the ring, it has been revealed Fury and Oleksandr Usyk have signed for a super-fight. <\/p>\n
The deal is believed to include two bouts in Saudi, meaning the Gypsy King looks on course for a trio of mega-money nights in the Middle East. <\/p>\n
And his US promoter Bob Arum claimed all his business with the Saudis could bank him $200MILLION <\/strong>(\u00a3165m). <\/p>\n Arum told Boxing News: "We're looking for this whole package, there's other stuff involved that I really believe that at the end of the day, before the end of June, Fury will be reaching close to $200million." <\/p>\n The potential three-fight package would be a record-breaking deal for a British fighter. <\/p>\n Anthony Joshua, 33, is believed to have earned around \u00a360m in Diriyah when he beat Andy Ruiz Jr, 34, in their 2019 rematch. <\/p>\n And when he landed in Jeddah\u00a0for his second bout with Usyk, 36, in August 2022, some reports claim he made 50 per cent of the \u00a365m shared fee. <\/p>\n Derek Chisora, who has worked with Saudi boxing bosses before, claimed Fury, 35, is earning $50m (\u00a341m) to fight Ngannou, 37. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n TYSON FURY VS FRANCIS NGANNOU: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE CROSSOVER CLASH<\/strong><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n So that would leave $150m (\u00a3125m) remaining for his proposed double header with Usyk. <\/p>\n If it brings him $75m (\u00a362m) for each fight, that would be the biggest purse for any British boxer. <\/p>\n But Arum refused to confirm whether Fury's contract with Usyk mandates a rematch.<\/p>\n He said: "I don't want to talk about that because I'm putting up the money." <\/p>\n Fury has set his sights on becoming the highest-paid sportsman in the world. <\/p>\n And his dad John told interviewer Rob Moore: "He's thinking now, especially now he's in talks and in business meetings with the Saudis, he's looking at how wealthy that country is. <\/p>\n "Now all of a sudden, click! He's gone money-mad thinking he can compete with the Saudis." <\/p>\n Despite the huge sums in the pipeline for Fury, he would have to go some way to topping Floyd Mayweather's earnings. <\/p>\n Mayweather banked close to \u00a3600m for his wins over Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor. <\/p>\n He topped Forbes' sporting rich list of the decade in 2019 with \u00a3706MILLION<\/strong> made over his legendary career. <\/p>\nREAD MORE IN BOXING<\/h2>\n
