Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury, a British boxing giant standing tall at 6’9″ and tipping the scales at 278 lbs, has been ruling the heavyweight division with his iron fists since 2020. Not just a family man with a bunch of kids and a love story that dates back to 2008 with Paris, but Fury also boasts a record that reads like a warrior’s epic—especially his trilogy with Deontay Wilder (2-0-1, with 2 KOs) and a hat trick against Derek Chisora. Before claiming the WBC crown, he unified the heavyweight titles way back in 2015, only to take a brief hiatus from the throne. With a squad of fighting siblings by his side, Fury’s not just throwing punches; he’s crafting a legacy that’s as large as his frame. Tyson Fury’s net worth is estimated to be around £50million, according to Forbes magazine.
By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury says he’s interested in facing 49-year-old Antonio Tarver and 46-year-old Shannon ‘The Cannon’ Briggs, but not for his comeback fight in April.

By Tim Royner: Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s promoter Frank Warren says the goal is to get the 29-year-old fighting 4 times in 2018 to get him back to the form he was in the past. Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) hasn’t fought in close to 3 years since 2015.
By Tim Royner: Promoter Frank Warren says the purse split for the Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury fight should be 50-50 right down the middle for the super-fight in the UK. Fury, 29, currently wants a 60-40 deal for the Joshua fight, but that’s not sitting too well for AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn.

By Tim Royner: Eddie Hearn thinks it could be a headache for him to negotiate a fight between Anthony Joshua and former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury for the summer or perhaps later this year.
