Media outlets name impressive fee for Usyk-Fury fight: how much can a Ukrainian earn
Ukrainian unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) could earn at least $50 million for his fight against British boxer Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) in Saudi Arabia. The fight for the title of absolute world champion is planned to be organised next winter.
This was reported by the British newspaper The Telegraph. According to the publication, the payday of the long-awaited show is expected to be $150 million. Even if we assume that Usyk agrees to 30% again, his share will be 50 million. At the same time, it is important to note that the organisers of the fight from Saudi Arabia will negotiate with each boxer separately.

At the same time, The Telegraph noted that Fury has not yet received official offers from the Arabian side. The same applies to his compatriot Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs), who is scheduled to fight American Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) in the winter.

On August 26, Usyk is scheduled to defend his title against Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs). The Usyk-Fury and Joshua-Wilder fights are to be organised on the same night. At the same time, Anthony has already confirmed his fight against Deontay.
Earlier, Tyson called Usyk an ugly coward and expressed his readiness to fight the Ukrainian in the summer. In addition, he accused the Ukrainian of greed, which led to the disruption of the fight on April 29. And Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn expressed confidence that Fury would not fight until winter.
