Former WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury made $ 147 million in 2024, which placed him among the highest paid athletes in 2024. The 36-year-old Fury (34-2-1, 24 CO’s) lost both his fights against Oleksandr Ulsyk and looked at the peak of his career from 2020 from his excellent form.

The $ 147 million that Fury made is not equal to its actual ability, as he did not perform like a fighter who is worthy of the kind of money. What he made was due to the fact that he loved Turki al-Sheikh and what he did many years ago when he was still shooting at all eight cylinders.
According to Fury’s net worth, $ 250 million is according to Celebrity Net Worth, and he can easily double the number to $ 500 million if he comes from his back to return to the ring. He became lazy because of all the money he closed, and his ambition evaporated.
If Tyson had John D. Rockefeller’s Work ethic and the desire to make money, he would be hard at work and trained feverishly for his next battle. However, Fury is nothing like the US industrialist or other big Goldened Age Tycoons, JP Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, and Cornelius Vanderbilt.

Cristiano Ronaldo: $ 260 million
Jon Rahm: $ 218 million
Tyson Fury: $ 147 million
If the Gyspy King chose to retire in 2025 for two fights against Anthony Joshua, the money he would earn would exceed his $ 147 million figure for last year.
What is strange is the value Fury offers in terms of real entertainment, not close to the dough he paid. He will pay excessively too much for what he has in the tank left.
Fury is an example of a fighter who gained his fame ten years ago from one big victory against an over-the-hill Wladimir Klitschko and was subsequently connected during a poor period in the heavyweight division.
It would have been interesting if Fury became a star if he had never fought against Vladimir and instead in his career Anthony Joshua, Martin Bakole, Agit Kabayel, Zhilei Zhang, Utsyk and Daniel Dubois fought.
In Fury’s loss to USyk in their re -broadcast on December 21 in Riyadh, he would have beaten six or seven of the top heavyweights in the division. The absolute truth is that Fury was never so good at first. Once you have passed Deontay Wilder and 39-year-old Vladimir Klitschko, his resume is barren of names.
