Introduction

Mike Tyson is an American former professional boxer with an estimated net worth of $30 Million.

Net Worth History

Mike Tyson’s net worth was once estimated to be as much as $300 million during the peak of his career, having earned well over $400 million from fights alone. However, he also spent it like water. We’ll discuss some of his most extravagant expenses later in the article, but they ultimately led to Tyson filing for bankruptcy in 2003.

Mike’s net worth dropped from $300 million to an estimated $3 million in the 2010s. Despite this, he’s made a comeback in recent years, earning not just from his two fights with Roy Jones Jr. and Jake Paul, but also through the Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast. The two fights earned him an estimated $30 million, and although he donated his $10 million purse from the Jones fight to charity, the $20 million purse from the Paul fight helped Tyson recoup some of his net worth. Prior to the Jake Paul fight, Tyson was worth an estimated $10 million. As of 2025, Mike Tyson’s net worth is estimated to be approximately $30 Million.

Total Career Earnings:		$443,600,000

Throughout Mike Tyson’s professional boxing career, he secured at least $445 million in fight earnings. He fought a total of 57 times, accumulating a substantial amount of money in the process. While the table above shows his fight purses for 36 of those fights, many of his earnings between 1985 and 1986 aren’t included. It’s assumed that for 1986 at least, he earned roughly $200,000 per fight. This is because his earnings for three fights that year, against Jesse Ferguson and Mitch Green (twice), were all reportedly $200,000 per fight. Towards the end of the year, he earned $1.5 million for his fight against Trevor Berbick, which was shown on ESPN.

In 1987, Tyson fought four times, earning a combined $9.5 million. These bouts were covered under his eight-fight, $27 million contract with HBO. This included $2 million against James Smith, and $2.5 million apiece for his bouts against Pinklon Smith, Tony Tucker, and Tyrell Biggs.

Tyson’s earnings began increasing significantly in 1998, starting with his $5 million purse for his fight against Larry Holmes. He then earned $10 million against Tony Tubbs and an impressive $20 million against Michael Spinks.

Bruno, Holyfield & Ruddick Fight Purses

We grouped these three opponents together because they were the only three that Tyson fought twice. They account for $114 million of Mike’s career earnings.

Frank Bruno – $38 million

When Iron Mike first fought Frank Bruno in 1989, he earned approximately $8 million. For their 1996 rematch, he earned a whopping $30 million, bringing his total to a combined $38 million.

Donovan Ruddick – $16 million

In 1991, Tyson fought Donovan Ruddick, earning $6 million. Two years later, he earned an increased purse of $10 million, totaling $16 million for the two bouts.

Evander Holyfield – $60 million

The fights against Evander Holyfield were the most controversial of his career, primarily due to Tyson biting Holyfield’s ear in the second bout. For each fight, Mike received a $30 million purse, totaling $60 million.

Significant Fight Purses

We’ve covered Tyson’s early career fight purses and his earnings from recurring opponents, so let’s take a look at the largest paydays of his career. In 1995, Tyson secured $25 million in his fight against Peter McNeeley and a $10 million purse against Buster Mathis. The following year, he earned an impressive $30 million for his win against Bruce Seldon.

Between 1999 and 2000, Mike received a combined $47 million from five fights, including three $10 million paydays against Francois Botha, Julius Francis, and Andrzej Golota. The remainder was generated through a $9 million purse against Orlin Norris and $8 million against Lou Savarese.

However, none of these compares to his 2002 fight against Lennox Lewis. The fight was one of the highest-grossing events at the time, generating $106.9 million in PPV revenue. Tyson secured a guaranteed $17.5 million purse, but he also received additional income from PPV shares and sponsorships, which skyrocketed his total earnings to an estimated $103 million.

Extravagant Expenditure

Throughout his professional career, Tyson spent his wealth with ease, which led to significant financial hardships in the early 2000s. This included spending millions on luxury cars and mansions, as most athletes do. According to the bankruptcy filing, in just a three-year period after his release from prison, he spent a reported $4.5 million on 19 vehicles, which he purchased for his friends.

In that same period, he also spent millions on the following:

Pigeons & tigers – $400,000
Garden maintenance & lawn care – $300,000
Phones, pagers, and related monthly bills – $230,000
Animal trainer – $125,000/year
Jewelry & Clothes – $100,000/month
Random everyday purchases – $240,000/month

This, including the $4.5 million on vehicles, would equate to a total expenditure of just over $18 million in three years, but that’s just for the expenses listed in the filing.

Random Expenses

Outside of his typical expenses for gardening, animals, fashion, and vehicles, Tyson made several notable purchases exceeding $100,000. He reportedly once spent $2 million on a golden bathtub for his then-wife, Robin Givens, but some sources suggest the actual amount was closer to $500,000. Tyson also spent $400,000 on a single birthday party, and his Bengal tigers cost $70,000 each.

Car Collection

While you may think $4.5 million for 19 vehicles is a lot of money, Tyson reportedly purchased over 100 cars throughout his life, including numerous Bentleys, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, and Rolls-Royces. He once spent $1.5 million in a single day to purchase five Bentley Azures. Here’s a list of some of the vehicles Mike Tyson owned, and their respective MSRPs at the time:

Vehicle Name	Retail Price
Ferrari F50 (1995)	~$475,000
Ferrari 456 GT Spyder	~$224,000
Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster	~$240,000–$275,000

Introduction

Andy Ruiz Jr. is a Mexican-American professional boxer with an estimated net worth of $10 Million.

Fight Earnings

Year	Opponent	Salary
2016	Joseph Parker	$1,000,000
2018	Devin Vargas	$500,000
2019	Alexander Dimitrenko	$200,000

2021	Chris Arreola	$1,500,000
2022	Luis Ortiz	$1,000,000
2024	Jarrell Miller	$500,000
Total Career Earnings:		$24,700,000

Early Career Earnings

The information above regarding Andy Ruiz Jr.’s fight earnings has been gathered through public reports. Two sources stated that Ruiz’s total career earnings before his 2019 fight with Anthony Joshua were under $300,000, but our research contradicts this statement. From 2009 to 2019, Ruiz fought thirty-three professional fights before stepping into the ring against Joshua. Of those thirty-three fights, we found guaranteed purses for just three.

These included $1 million for his 2016 fight against Joseph Parker, $500,000 against Devin Vargas in 2018, and $200,000 against Alexander Dimitrenko at the beginning of 2019. This would equate to a minimum of $1.7 million for those three fights. While the other thirty weren’t big enough to be on the radar financially, they still should have earned Ruiz a decent amount of money.

Anthony Joshua Earnings

Ruiz’s two fights against Joshua were the biggest paydays of his career. In the June 2019 upset, Ruiz earned approximately $7 million, whereas Joshua earned roughly $25 million. The pay disparity was primarily due to Joshua’s already cemented status in boxing, beating legends such as Carlos Takam, Wladimir Klitschko, and Alexander Povetkin. In the rematch, Ruiz’s earnings increased to an estimated $13 million, totaling $20 million from the two fights.

Recent Fight Earnings

Ruiz has fought only three times in the past five years, each earning him approximately $500,000 less than the previous. In 2021, he beat Chris Arreola for a reported payday of $1.5 million. His 2022 victory over Luis Ortiz earned him $1 million, and his most recent fight against Jarrell Miller guaranteed him a purse of $500,000.

This would place Andy Ruiz Jr.’s career fight earnings at an estimated $24.7 million but doesn’t consider any fights before 2016.

Tyson Fury Negotiations

In 2023, Ruiz Jr. was in negotiations with the Gypsy King, Tyson Fury, to schedule a fight, but talks reportedly came to an end due to Ruiz’s demands for a guaranteed $20 million. Fury posted a video on his social media accounts, saying he was “ready to rumble,” but nobody wanted to fight him. Regarding the Ruiz negotiations, he stated:

“Andy Ruiz has asked for $20 million—silly little bastard. I don’t know where he’s getting that from. Who’s out there? Who’s available?”

Ruiz likely still could have earned several million dollars from a fight with Fury, but it appears he ultimately missed out due to his high demands.

Financial Issues

There has been a lot of speculation in recent years regarding Andy Ruiz Jr’s finances, with many believing that the fighter began overspending and blowing through his millions after his first fight with Anthony Joshua. Before the fight, Ruiz had been accustomed to earning between $200,000 and $1 million per bout, but his paycheck from facing Joshua was a completely different story.

Immediately following the fight, Ruiz purchased a multi-million-dollar mansion in California and also began adding a large quantity of luxury vehicles to his collection. The retail value of all his cars, brand new, amounts to at least $1.5 million, and includes:

Lamborghini Urus
Rolls-Royce Ghost
Rolls-Royce Cullinan
Mercedes AMG G 63 (owns two)
Porsche Panamera
Mercedes-Benz G 550

Six of these vehicles are models from 2019-2022, and were manufactured after his first fight with Joshua. In addition to the vehicles and house, Ruiz has also publicly stated that his jewelry collection is worth over $1 million, which was later stolen amid a breakup with his ex-partner.

When you add all these things together, it amounts to an insane amount of expenditure for somebody who, by our knowledge, has only earned roughly $25 million in fight purses before taxes.

Oleksandr Usyk Fight Earnings

In 2021, Joshua had his first fight against the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk. Reports suggest he earned £10 million ($12.5 million), plus 60% of the PPV revenue, for a total of £15 million ($18.7 million).

There appears to have been significant speculation regarding Joshua’s earnings from the second fight, as the figures vary greatly from source to source. However, the general consensus is that Joshua earned roughly £32 million ($40 million), bringing his total from the two fights up to £47 million ($58.7 million).

Additional Fight Earnings

Some of Joshua’s smaller paydays in recent years include £6 million ($7.5 million) against Kubrat Pulev in 2020 and a combined £28 million ($35 million) in 2023 for three fights:

Finally, for his loss to Daniel Dubois in 2025, where Joshua was knocked down four times, he reportedly could have earned as much as $33 million. He was reportedly guaranteed £6 million ($8 million) upfront and received additional income from PPV buys.

Total Earnings

Excluding his income from additional sources such as endorsements, sponsorships, and his boxing promotion company, Anthony Joshua has earned at least an estimated £250 million ($312.5 million) during his career. However, this doesn’t consider his earnings from fights that took place between 2013 and 2015.

Introduction

Tommy Fury is a British professional boxer and reality TV star with an estimated net worth of $10 million.

While still in the early days of his boxing career, Tommy Fury’s appearance on Love Island, combined with the fact that he shares the Fury name, has propelled him into the spotlight. This has earned him notable paydays to fight influencers such as Jake Paul and KSI, which is mainly responsible for his current net worth.

Quick Facts

Earned a combined $11 million from his fights with Jake Paul and KSI
Signed numerous endorsement deals with ASOS, BoohooMan, Gym King, MyProtein, Superdry, and more.
Charges between $12,000 and $24,000 per sponsored post on Instagram
Earns an estimated $120,000 annually from YouTube

Before Wealth & Fame

Tommy Fury was born on 7 May 1999 in Manchester, England, and raised by his parents, Amber and John Fury. He grew up in the city, attending St. Ambrose Barlow High School while training as an amateur boxer to follow in his family’s footsteps.

Fury didn’t have to wait long to begin his professional career. At 19, he had his first match against Jevgenijs Andrejevs at Manchester Arena and won on points. Fury became a household name the following year as his career as a boxer and reality TV star began to take off.

Boxing Career

Fury appeared on Love Island’s reality series with his future girlfriend, Molly-Mae Hague. The couple finished as runners-up in the fifth season. At the time, Fury was off to a 2-0 start in his career and returned to the boxing ring to take on Przemyslaw Binienda at Copper Box Arena in London.

Fury continued to win his professional fights, defeating the likes of Jordan Grand, Anthony Taylor, and Callum Ide en route to an 8-0 start in his light heavyweight boxing career. The former reality star added an exhibition bout to his career boxing record, taking on Rolly Lambert at the event headlined by Floyd Mayweather and Deji in 2022.

Fury’s most notable fights both occurred in 2023. The first of which took place in February 2023, when he traveled to Saudi Arabia to take on influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul. Tommy won the fight by decision and was the first opponent to best Paul in the ring. Later that year, closer to home in Manchester, England, Fury fought another influencer, KSI. The event was broadcast on DAZN PPV and reportedly sold 1.3 million buys; however, some industry experts, including UFC president Dana White, have disputed the figure.

Fight Earnings

Year	Opponent	Salary
2018	Jevgenijs Andrejevs	£20,000
2021	Anthony Taylor	£10,900
2022	Daniel Bocianski	£25,000
2023	Jake Paul	£4,000,000
2023	KSI	£5,000,000
2025	Kenan Hanjalic	£2,500,000
Total Career Earnings:		£11,555,900

As you can see from the table above, most of Tommy Fury’s early fight purses were incredibly low, earning him between £10,000 and £25,000 per bout. While we don’t have the specifics regarding his purses for other fights during this time, it’s safe to assume they fell within a similar range.

Jake Paul Fight Purse

However, in 2023, things ramped up drastically, with Fury guaranteed a base purse of $2 million, while Paul was guaranteed $3.2 million. It was reported that the PPV split between the two was 65/35 in Jake’s favor, and the winner would also receive a $1 million win bonus. Thus, Fury earned at least $3 million guaranteed before PPV earnings are considered. When everything was said and done, Tommy reportedly earned a total of $5 million, while Paul earned roughly $8.5 million.

KSI Fight Purse

For his next fight against KSI, Tommy was guaranteed a base purse of £1.7 million ($2.1 million), plus a split of the PPV revenues. After the event sold 1.3 million pay-per-view buys and generated roughly £26 million ($32 million) in the UK, Fury reportedly walked away with $6 million.

Kenan Hanjalic Fight Purse

Tommy Fury’s most recent fight against Kenan Hanjalic in May 2025 reportedly secured him a $500,000 base salary, plus 75% of the PPV profits, which, based on an estimated 750,000 buys, is estimated to have brought his total to $3 million. However, the finalized numbers have not yet been confirmed; thus, the $3 million figure could vary slightly.

Additional Income Sources

While Fury built the majority of his net worth from just three boxing fights between 2023 and 2025, the Manchester-born star also cashed in on his Love Island appearance. Since starring on the show, he’s signed endorsement deals with multiple brands, including:

Aldi
ASOS
Boohoo Man
Diesel Fragrances
Disney
Gym King
Monster Energy
MyProtein
Superdry

The list goes on… He’s also reportedly charging between £10,000 ($12,000) and £20,000 ($24,000) per sponsored post on Instagram to his 5 million followers, and earning an estimated £100,000 ($120,000) per year from his YouTube channel.

Expenditure

As he works his way up the ladder of richest boxers to join the likes of Manny Pacquiao, Tommy Fury has gotten quite flashy with his money in recent years.

Fury owns several vehicles, including a $100,000 Land Rover, a $120,000 BMW i8, and a $130,000 Mercedes G-Class. Fury and his girlfriend went looking for a home and landed on a $4 million property in Cheshire. The house has its own Instagram account, Molly Maison. It is over 5,000 square feet in total and has marble floors.

Personal Life

Tommy Fury comes from a boxing family. His father, John Fury, was a successful boxer in the 1980s, while his brother, Tyson Fury, is a two-time world heavyweight champion. Since 2019, Fury has been dating Molly-Mae Hague, a social media influencer and the creative director of Pretty Little Thing. The two are not yet married and do not have children, but recent rumors suggest they may be heading toward marriage.

Summary

Tommy Fury isn’t just a flash in the pan reality star who stumbled into a boxing arena, but rather a future bona fide star in the sport. The Manchester-born star is already making a name for himself in the professional rankings and is looking to use his star power to increase his net worth with some headlining fights.

Fury will have plenty more headlining fights in his future, and as his legend continues to grow, he’ll have the opportunity to make millions more.
