heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury has an impressive £162 million in cash and investments in his firm, a significant increase from the £82 million Tyson Fury Ltd was worth in 2023, despite the boxer's retirement from the sport. However, Fury paid himself a meager £100,000 in salary.
The firm, which holds £186 million in cash and assets, has debts to pay totaling £28 million for the 12 months to the end of September last year. The books also show that Fury helped himself to a dividend of just £100,000 from his massive reserves - a pay cut of £50,000 from 2023.
Tyson Fury and his wife Paris Fury can more than afford glamorous trips away. The ex-world heavyweight champ lost his unbeaten record when Oleksandr Usyk twice defeated the Brit in blockbuster bouts last year. Fury added another £29.8 million to his fortune in 2023, with the firm worth £52.3 million the previous year.
Fury went on to see off Derek Chisora and Dillian Whyte before controversially defeating UFC icon Francis Ngannou on a split verdict in 2023. Fury finally fought Oleksandr Usyk last year - with the unbeaten Ukrainian winning both their epic contests.
The first bout, a highly anticipated heavyweight title unification bout, took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on May 18 and resulted in a split decision victory for Usyk. A rematch, also in Riyadh on December 21, saw Usyk win by unanimous decision.
Fury and his wife Paris wed in 2008 and the couple have seven children. Fury subsequently announced his retirement from boxing on January 13, 2025, following the two defeats, but fans are hopeful he will return to the ring.
The firm takes in cash from his boxing activities and a separate outfit handles cash from sales of his merchandise. Tyson Fury drinks with locals in Scots bars and visits historic castles during road trips.
Sportico named Tyson, 36, as the third highest-paid athlete of the last year, earning over £100 million for his two iconic clashes with Usyk and making an extra £5 million in endorsements. Only two sports stars earned more money than Fury in 2024 - ex-Manchester United hero Cristiano Ronaldo at £190 million and basketball phenom Steph Curry on £112 million.
The couple still live in Morecambe, with Tyson having officially retired as a fighter.
