How much are Fury and Usyk getting paid? Prize money and purse split in £150m rematch

Tyson Fury is set to face Oleksandr Usyk in a much-anticipated rematch in Saudi Arabia. Usyk emerged victorious from their first encounter, becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the world since Lennox Lewis in 1999.

Following the fight, Usyk was compelled to relinquish his IBF belt, with Daniel Dubois being the mandatory challenger. Despite this, Usyk is arguably the most feared heavyweight globally, with Fury potentially being the only man in the division capable of defeating him.

The pair participated in one of the sport's most unique face-offs this week, maintaining eye contact for an impressive 11 minutes and 20 seconds. Alongside their reputations, the fighters will be competing for a substantial prize fund.

Here's all you need to know about the potential earnings. What's the Fury v Usyk 2 prize money?

The purse for the rematch is rumoured to be around £150 million, reports Wales Online.

In the initial fight, the total purse was £116 million, with Fury pocketing 70% of that. However, after defeating The Gypsy King and holding the title of undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, it is anticipated that the Ukrainian will earn significantly more than the 30% cut he received last May.

The exact purse split for the rematch has yet to be disclosed.
