TYSON FURY VS FRANCIS NGANNOU: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE CROSSOVER CLASH
The two heavyweight will lock horns this Saturday in Riyadh, which will mark the Gypsy King’s first ever competitive boxing fight in Saudi Arabia.
How much will Fury and Ngannou earn?
Fury has previously stated that Ngannou will make around £8.2million ($10m) for their huge fight.
The heavyweight champ said: “Everyone said he was an idiot for walking away from the UFC and now all of a sudden he’s a genius, isn’t he?

“Fury said while sharing his delight at getting to fight Ngannou next month.
“Guy’s about to make $10 million. Come on! Egg in their face! Francis is going to make that bag. Rich!”
That is over 10 times more than what the 37-year-old made in his last UFC fight in 2022 before he quit Dana White’s promotion.
The Cameroonian defeated Ciryl Gane and pocketed about £600,000
Meanwhile, Fury has signed a deal with Saudi fixers that will see him earn £165million for his fight with Ngannou AND two clashes with Oleksandr Usyk.
The Gypsy King will make £65m for his bout with Ngannou first, however.
And that leaves him £50m each for his duo of bouts with Usyk, the first of which could take place on December 23.

The fight has received criticism from some boxing fans because of the fact Ngannou is not a boxer and may not be able to offer competition to the undefeated Fury.
Plus, the venue has come under fire as Saudi Arabia’s royal family continue to be accused of sportswashing amid their dire human rights record.
