This was reported by The Independent. According to the publication, the total fee fund for the fight between Usik and Fury is $150 million, of which 70% will go to the British. At the same time, the Ukrainian portal Champion claims that Tyson will receive $69 million, and the Ukrainian will receive $34 million.
