According to reports, Tyson Fury is going to bag a whopping amount of £31million from his upcoming fight against WBC champion Deontay Wilder on February 22. Boxing promoter Bob Arum claimed that the 17,000 strong sell-outs in Las Vegas and PPV sales in the US and UK will enable ‘The Gypsy King’ to make millions. Thus, the undefeated Briton is guaranteed to bag at least £19million from the fight. However, Bob Arum believes that the figure can be doubled if the PPV figures rise.

During an interaction with the American Media, Tyson Fury’s promoter Bob Arum revealed that the deal for ‘Wilder vs Fury 2’ is split into half between Deontay Wilder’s team and Tyson Fury’s team. Arum further revealed that circuit sales are doing much better than anyone anticipated. Thus, Fury’s team can expect to earn a massive amount on February 22. The Gypsy King’s co-promoter Frank Warren believes that the English PPV can hit one million even at four in the morning, since it is going to be a career-defining fight for UK’s very own Tyson Fury. However, the amount can take a steady rise to $40 million if the PPV view hits two million.
