Tyson Fury will lose almost half of his earnings after the highly anticipated rematch with Oleksandr Usyk. The 36-year-old British boxer is expected to earn around £60 million for fighting the Ukrainian in Saudi Arabia.

However, if Usyk, who handed Fury a split decision victory in their first meeting in May, wins again, it won’t be the only thing Fury will lose. According to data analyst JeffBeta, Fury will receive almost £30 million in prize money deducted by the taxman for income tax and national insurance, which he will have to pay when he returns to the UK.

In total, around 47 per cent of his winnings will go to HM Revenue and Customs. He will have to pay around £28 million in tax and an additional £1.2 million in National Insurance contributions.

The fight purse shared by Usyk and Fury is believed to be valued at a staggering £150 million. With a victory in the first fight, Usyk is expected to take home a larger share of the purse, estimated at around 60 percent.

Discussing the tax treatment of Fury’s earnings, a JeffBet spokesperson commented: “If you are a UK resident you must pay tax on your earnings abroad in the same way and this remains the same regardless of how much someone may earn.

“Good tax advice is always crucial and in this case you can be sure that the Fury camp will consider the most advantageous deal.”

While financial aspects play their part, Fury, better known as the Gypsy King, is determined to fix his only professional failure. He recently confessed that he had not spoken to his wife Paris for three months in order to maintain absolute concentration.

On his approach to the upcoming fight, Fury revealed: “If anything, a little more focus. More laser focus and less clowning around.

“If I put two things into my game plan, it will be a little more effective. There are no large advantages here. They only gave him a point [it could have been] either way, split decision, draw, whatever. So there’s not much we can change easily.

“But how about this one? How about I won the round 10-8 in round nine? This is no longer a draw or a one-point victory, it is a decisive victory. A little less cheating and a little more focus, laser focus and I should get my job done.

The Los Angeles star will headline his sixth straight appearance and second appearance in Las Vegas, where he defeated Shawn McCalman on points in April before returning to his home stadium in August to record his 18th victory at the distance in a nauseating KO victory over Maciej Sulecki via body shot – performances that further strengthened his position as one of the hottest talents in the game, as confirmed by ESPN’s ranking of Pacheco in 2nd place on the list of the best players in the category 25, second only to star player and stablemate Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez.

Nelson (20-0, 16 KO) was gearing up for a huge fight and now he has a chance to thwart Pacheco’s rise to the top and take the great position his adolescent opponent has achieved. The 36-year-old last got a taste of action in August in Los Angeles, defeating Marcos Rodriguez via fifth-round stoppage thanks to a victory over his good friend and fellow Omaha fighter, Terence Crawford.

“I am very excited to return to the ring in early 2025 against another undefeated opponent – ​​the DP show goes on,” Pacheco said.

“This is the type of fight I wanted, so I could show the world who I am,” Nelson said.

Tyson Fury vowed to “seriously hurt” him in Saturday’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury is for revenge first defeat his professional career when he meets Usyk at the Kingdom Arena in Riyad, seven months after he was dropped by split decision at the same venue.

“The Gypsy King” has put in a solemn performance throughout the build-up and continued that attitude during Wednesday’s public training session.

The 36-year-old put on his gloves, greeted the audience and took off his gloves without landing a single blow on his pads.

The Briton, who is generally in a cheerful mood, revealed little in the interview DAZN then, but sent his rival a dire warning.

“A lot of pain.

“Smash and destroy.

“A lot of pain, solemn hurt.”

Fury, who is aiming to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, held a training camp in Malta ahead of the rematch and earlier this week claimed he had not had contact with his wife Paris for three months.

Usyk secured the undisputed heavyweight title in May but vacated the IBF belt to secure a rematch, while Daniel Dubois, who arrived in Riyadh earlier this week, was elevated to full champion after winning the interim title.

If the fighter from Morecambe exacts revenge, according to Fury’s British promoter, Frank Warren, a third fight with the Ukrainian has already been contracted.

However, Fury promised a victory so comprehensive that the 37-year-old would never fight again.

“I will definitely make him feel 37 years vintage,” Fury said Queensberry Promotions.

– He’ll be there with the Gypsy King, not whoever I was last time.

“I feel very good and I can’t wait for Saturday’s fight.

“I’m going to end him, end his career.

“You will never hear from Oleksandr Usyk again after this.”
