Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury are making a fortune for their rematch
After delivering an absolute barnburner the first time around, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury are ready to put it all on the line in a monumental showdown.
After suffering the first official loss of his career, ‘The Gypsy King’ is determined to gain his revenge against one of the greatest fighters the sport has ever seen.
While Fury didn’t get the result in his bout with the former undisputed cruiserweight champion, his bank balance certainly looked good, with The Sun, claiming he made £85 million, whereas his rival received £35 million.

However, he’s adamant that he’s spotted a weakness in Usyk’s game, that he would’ve exploited had they ever shared the ring together.
