Tyson Fury’s net worth as heavyweight champion confirms boxing retirement

In his 14-year career, Tyson Fury will officially retire undefeated with 32 wins and one draw - (which he would then avenge with two wins over Deontay Wilder). In defeating the likes of Wilder, Wladimir Klitschko, Dillian Whyte, Derek Chisora, Otto Wallin and Steve Cunningham - Fury will go down as one of the greatest heavyweights of all-time.

Today, Fury has been given a deadline to relinquish his WBC championship belts and it's expected other organisations will follow suit - meaning he'll be forced to give up all of his belts if he is to retire.

Fury had originally called time on his boxing career after defeating Whyte at Wembley in April, when he announced that he would not fight again.

Fury's reported net worth of £130 million comes from the money he made in his trilogy bouts with Wilder, as well as his last bout with Whyte - in those fights alone making just short of £100 million.

His 27 other bouts will have seen him make millions, as well as his exploits outside of the ring - including
