Tommy Fury tipped to be third-highest paid boxer behind Tyson and Anthony Joshua

Tommy Fury has been backed by former world champion Carl Frampton to become one of the UK's highest-paid boxers ever behind Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

Frampton, who had to fight 31 times as a professional to make significant money, believes Fury, along with YouTube star KSI, is likely to finish his career as a huge earner, overtaking world champions despite his limited ability. The Northern Irish fighter sold out stadiums and fought eight times for world titles.

However, in his early career he could have only dreamed of making the $2.5million that Fury has been offered for a fight with Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia next month. The Manchester native, who rose to fame through a run on Love Island in 2019, is only 23-years-old and 8-0 as a professional, but could stand to make the huge sum in his first pay-per-view headliner.
