The fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, the most anticipated heavyweight fight that will unify all four belts for the first time, will move a dizzying amount of money.
The fight, scheduled for January 2024, though it could be moved up to December 23 of this year, will be held in Saudi Arabia.

Bob Arum, Tyson Fury‘s promoter, revealed that his client could pocket 200 million dollars for his fights in Saudi Arabia.
This includes the October 28 fight against Francis Ngannou (former UFC heavyweight), to be held in Riyadh, and the subsequent showdown with Usyk, owner of three belts (WBA-IBF-WBO).
How much will Fury earn vs Ngannou and vs Usyk?
Derek Chisora, who has had several deals in Saudi Arabia, let slip that Fury should receive 50m dollars for the fight with Nbannou, according to The Sun.
If this amount is discounted and, without the option of a rematch in the agreement between the Gypsy King and Usyk, it would mean that he would be pocketing 150m dollars for the fight with the Ukrainian.
Arum confirmed that the fight should be held not too far from the beginning of the year so as not to coincide with Ramadan.
