Tyson Fury net worth and life story are like something from a Rocky movie, it will be made into a Hollywood movie at some point in the near future.
So many highs and lows; starting as a Gypsy, then progressed into a multi-millionaire World Champion. Just one short year later, he was broke and stripped of his belts.
Troubled Tyson was depressed, down and out, drinking and taking drugs every day, even contemplating suicide. Eventually, he got back in control of his life and career and is now on route to winning everything back.

Tyson Fury is known to be an extremely charismatic, larger than life kind of guy, and of course, he’s got a bank balance to match. Making donations to homeless charities and talking openly about mental health, something he struggled with in his bad days.
The Gypsy King is currently one of the highest-paid sports athletes in the World, Forbes announced him the 34th richest. But we can account for twenty million dollars more at least.
While his net worth hasn’t always been this great, look at the difference between Tyson’s net worth in 2018, compared with a net worth in 2019 and 2020. Huge!
Young Tyson Fury Training
During his birth there were complications, the doctors didn’t think he would pull through. But when he did survive, his dad named him after the former World heavyweight World champ, Mike Tyson (for obvious reasons).
Although he was born and raised in Manchester, the Fury family were actual Irish Gypsy immigrants, originating from Belfast and Galway in Ireland.
When an eleven-year-old Tyson quit school, his father decided to take him to work, tarmacking roads, making him earn his first modest paycheque.
During these times, his dad would take him to the local boxing gym and train him. His dad, John was a Gypsy bare-knuckle prizefighter, so he was in good hands.
Fury Turning Pro
While everyone was getting ready for Christmas 2008, Fury taped his hands for his first professional fight against Bela Gyongyosi. Tyson won in the sixth by TKO and made $12,000. He also showcased his fast hands, great footwork and natural power.
Similar to Fury’s first fight, he dominated all of his next opponents, winning mostly by TKO. Although we don’t know the exact purse of these fights, it was approximately the same as his first fight.
Overall, this increased his ranking which eventually gave him a shot at the title, against the British champion.
Tyson Fury vs John Mcdermott
Late 2009 and the opportunity came to fight for the British heavyweight belt, Tyson won on points against a tough John McDermott, allowing him to take home around $80,000 in purse earnings but more importantly, the belt.
They fought again around one year later, but this time Fury got the job finished and ended the fight with a TKO in the 9th round. Unfortunately, the purse is unknown.
Wladimir Klitschko vs Tyson Fury
When Tyson Fury landed in Germany, he was a massive underdog, I can’t recall any boxing fans suggesting that Fury could win.
But in short, he left Germany with $6,000,000, heavyweight champion of the World and forging The Gypsy King firmly into boxing history.
Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury
Tyson Fury net worth 2020 is more than Deontay Wilder new worth 2020 by $5,000,000.
Current WBC Heavyweight World Champion after beating Deontay Wilder for a staggering $7,000,000. Whom he donated the full purse to a homeless charity.
Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury
Before retirement, he should double his net worth with his final fights against Anthony Joshua. It’s reported they will be around $60,000,000 each.
Although it’s likely that Deontay Wilder will get his trilogy fight before Joshua which again will be a massive payout.
While Canelo Alvarez net worth 2020 is more than Fury & Wilder’s combined, reaching a massive $140,000,000 valuation. And it looks like it will raise to $430,000,000 in the next two years or so
