Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk 2 purse and prize money: Heavyweight rivals set to earn more than for first fight

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set to make more money from Saturday’s rematch than they did in their historic first fight.

‘The Gypsy King’ will now be eyeing revenge against his nemesis as they meet again in Saudi Arabia this weekend on December 21.

There’s no doubt that this will be another monumental occasion and two of boxing’s best are going to get paid the money to match.

Here, talkSPORT.com takes a look at the rumoured prize pot…

Fury vs Usyk 2: Purse and prize money

Fury and Usyk are set to pocket more for their rematch than they did in their bout to crown an undisputed heavyweight champion.

For the first fight, the pair competed for a reported purse of around £115million.

Fury is understood to have taken home £85m of that after an agreement was reached for him to claim a bigger cut.

Usyk won much less despite winning, collecting roughly £30m.

Both boxers will be winning more than that this time around though as reports claim they’ll fight for closer to $191m (£150m) purse.

That’s an incredible £45m more than their first meeting.

It’s not confirmed how that purse will be split, but Usyk is now expected to take home the most as he is the A-side of the rematch.
