The much-anticipated fight between WBC champion Tyson Fury and former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou (who will make his professional boxing debut) will take place tonight, October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and it has been revealed that the British boxer will earn an enormous sum for the fight.
The fight will pit two of the top heavyweights of their respective sports against each other over ten rounds.
Tyson Fury will earn 65 million dollars after his battle with UFC champion Francis Ngannou, followed by 50 million dollars from two fights with Usyk.
Fury, popularly nicknamed as ‘The Gipsy King,’ enters the battle with two TKO victories in the last 18 months, including one in April of last year when he overcame Dillian Whyte.
It was announced in late September that an agreement had already been reached for a fight between Fury and Oleksandr Usyk following the match with Ngannou.

Meanwhile, ‘The Predator’ won the UFC heavyweight championship in March 2021 after defeating Stipe Miocic by KO in round two at UFC 260. He then defended his title against Ciryl Gane at UFC 270 in January of the following year.
But a year later, he quit the UFC and signed with the Professional Fighters League, where he can also box.
According to multiple UK reports, Tyson Fury has agreed to terms with Saudi Arabia.
