How much are Fury and Usyk getting paid? Prize money and purse split

Tyson Fury faces Oleksandr Usyk in their highly-anticipated rematch in Saudi Arabia.

Their first bout went in favour of Usyk, who became the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the world since Lennox Lewis in 1999.

Shortly after the fight, Usyk was forced to vacate his IBF belt, wit Daniel Dubois the mandatory challenger. Despite this, Usyk remains arguably the most-feared heavyweight on the planet, with Fury, also arguably, the only man in the division who is capable of defeating him.

The pair engaged in one of the most unique face-offs in the history of the sport this week, with neither fighter breaking the gaze for 11 minutes and 20 seconds.

As well as putting their reputations on the line, the fighters will be battling it out for some serious prize money.

Here's everything you need to know about the money on offer.

What's the Fury v Usyk 2 prize money?

The purse for the rematch has been reported to be in the region of £150 million.

In the first fight, the total purse was £116 million, with Fury taking home 70% of that. However, after defeating The Gypsy King and being the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, it is expected that the Ukrainian will earn far more than the 30% cut he got back in May.

The exact purse split for the rematch has not yet been revealed.
