Boxers Tommy Fury and Jake Paul reportedly earned enormous salaries on Sunday from their fight, with Paul receiving the majority of pay-per-view (PPV) revenue at 65 per cent.
Fury received $4.5 million (£3.7 million), while Paul received $8.6 million (£7 million). Those figures represent sponsorships, PPV earnings and the actual fight purse.
Fury may not have the same level of recognition as his American counterpart but even at the young age of 23 he has amassed a sizeable fortune.
Fury has gained popularity in the UK as a result of being on ITV’s Love Island and his connection with fellow influencer Molly-Mae Hague. His older brother, Tyson, is a two-time heavyweight world champion.
What is Tommy Fury’s net worth?
Fury reportedly has a net worth of more than $1.2 million (£1 million) thanks to several sponsorships and endorsements as well as his own boxing pay cheques.
The boxing payment alone will more than quadruple his reported net worth, which indicates that his payday with Paul has unquestionably greatly increased his wealth. It doesn't include the increase in fans and further sponsorships he will undoubtedly receive as a result of the fight.
Since leaving the Love Island villa, Fury has competed in eight fights, winning all of them.
Fury has been competing in boxing his whole life – making his professional debut in 2018 against Jevgenijs Andrejevs.
The 23-year-old has earned a lot of his success outside the boxing ring with worldwide brands and other sponsorships.
Fury has 4.8 million Instagram followers currently and makes most of his money from social media endorsements. The boxing champion was reportedly making up to £3,000 every single day in 2021, according to the Sun, and has already signed sponsorship deals with McDonald’s and Disney Plus, and other well-known companies.
Fury lives with Mollie-Mae Hague in a six-bedroom, £3.5 million mansion in Cheshire.
