Tyson Fury's wealth has nearly doubled to £162million in the past year, with his fortune now likely exceeding £200m following his second bout with Oleksandr Usyk.
The heavyweight boxer's company accounts reveal his reserves surged by £80m after his first fight with the Ukrainian champion in May last year. Tyson Fury Limited, which handles the boxer's fight income, shows investments that soared to £176.7m from £108.8m.
The latest figures cover the 12 months to September last year and include earnings from the first Usyk bout in Riyadh. However, they exclude revenue from December's rematch, suggesting his current wealth has grown substantially beyond the reported £162m.
Despite the massive increase in his wealth, Fury took a modest dividend of just £100,000, down from £150,000 the previous year. His company maintains cash reserves of £7.5m, though creditors are owed just over £28m.
