Tyson Fury above Conor McGregor among richest athletes as Jake Paul ranks 45th

Tyson Fury has ranked above fellow fighters Conor McGregor and Jake Paul in this year's list of the world's highest-paid athletes.

That's according to a recent list of the top 100 highest-paid athletes released by Sportico, which had heavyweight champion Fury at No.14. Canelo Alvarez is the only fighter to be ranked above 'The Gypsy King' in the list, as he earned $89million for the year.

Fury's rank comes after he earned over $18million for his first heavyweight title defence against Deontay Wilder last October. That payday likely increased significantly after the Brit also earned a share of the 600,000 pay-per-view sales.
