Usyk — Fury: fight fees
Last year, the parties entered into an agreement on a 70/30 distribution of royalties in favor of Tyson Fury. That is, the Briton will receive about $150 million, according to the Independent .
Usyk agreed to a smaller share on the condition that the Gypsy king donate 1 million pounds sterling from his fee to Ukraine.
The final amount of fees for Usik and Fury will be known after the end of the fight.
It was previously announced that Fury would earn more than $100 million for the fight with the Ukrainian. Thus, in October 2023, promoter Bob Arum said that if Tyson was offered only $100 million for the fight, he would be dissatisfied.< /p>
According to another British publication Mirror, Alexander Usik will earn 35 million pounds sterling (over $44 million) for the fight, while Fury will receive 80 million pounds sterling (more than $101 million).
