Tyson Fury has cemented his place in the history books, not just as a two-time heavyweight champion of the world, but now as the most financially successful sports star the UK has ever seen.
The self-styled “Gypsy King” has long been known as one of Britain’s richest sportsmen, thanks to his record-breaking boxing purses, pay-per-view deals, sponsorships, and his larger-than-life persona. But newly-published financial figures have now confirmed his unmatched earning power.
Unaudited abridged accounts filed for Fury’s company, Tyson Fury Ltd, and published on Companies House this week reveal that as of September last year, the company was worth a staggering £186 million.
An eye-watering £176.7 million of that sum comes from investments, while £7.5 million is held as cash at the bank and in hand. The remaining value is accounted for by stocks and debtors.
This incredible figure means Fury surpasses the likes of Lewis Hamilton, Andy Murray, and even football icons like Gareth Bale or Wayne Rooney, as the wealthiest UK-born sportsman in history.
The 35-year-old from Wythenshawe has built his fortune through his iconic fights with the likes of Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder, and most recently, Francis Ngannou. His bouts consistently draw huge audiences and lucrative paydays, including his most recent undisputed heavyweight clash against Oleksandr Usyk, which reportedly earned him over £80 million alone.
Fury’s popularity extends beyond the ring, with successful business ventures, a best-selling autobiography, a hit Netflix reality series (At Home with the Furys), and high-profile endorsements all adding to his vast fortune.
While the latest accounts show just the state of play up until September 2023, his recent earnings suggest that his current net worth is already significantly higher.
Fans will no doubt be curious to see what comes next for the Gypsy King, whether he continues to fight at the highest level, or whether retirement (and a very comfortable one at that) is finally on the horizon.
Whatever he decides, one thing is now certain: Tyson Fury is not just a champion in the ring, but a record-breaker when it comes to British sporting wealth.
