Heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury earned an astonishing £573,000 a week last year as his fortune nearly reached £120million.
SunSport reports that the star heavyweight’s assets soared from £54million to £118million on the back of sponsorship deals and mega-fights.
The self-styled Gypsy King – who lost his world title belts last month – added another £29.8m to his fortune in 2023.
Accounts for Tyson Fury Ltd published this week show the firm is worth £82.3m – up from £52.3m in 2022.
But the Gypsy King’s new accounts do not include his recent £85million clash in Saudi Arabia with Oleksandr Usyk – so his fortune is set to climb to more than £250million.
Despite his huge earnings, Dad of seven Fury, 35, only paid himself a dividend of £150,000 from the April 2022 to September 2023 timespan covered by the accounts.
The popular star earned £63.3million – or more than £115,000 per day – through Tyson Fury Limited, paperwork filed at Companies House reveals.
And his latest knockout earnings take money held by the firm to a cool £118million.
The accounts also reveal that – after allowing for £36.4million worth of bills – Fury retained £82million worth of profits on his firm.
During the accounting period Fury fought and beat Brits Derek Chisora and Dillian Whyte and inked a deal to meet MMA star Francis Ngannou in a crossover bout in October 2023.
