Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou is finally here with the two fighters meeting in the centre of the ring on Saturday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Both fighters are expected to earn an extremely lucrative purse for the bout, but just how much exactly is there in Fury vs Ngannou prize money?
Fury vs Ngannou Prize Money – Purses
The anticipation is palpable for this crossover heavyweight dust-up between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou. This huge boxing clash set for 10 rounds goes down from the Saudi Arabia desert this Saturday night and is simply not to be missed.
Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou takes centre stage in the main event, with several high-class fights on the Fury vs Ngannou undercard. Given the fact the fight is right in the middle of Riyadh Season in Saudi Arabia, it comes as no surprise to learn that both men are in for a huge pay-day this weekend.
For ‘The Gypsy King’ and ‘The Predator’, both men are expected to make huge sums of money for this fight. Both men are used to getting paid huge sums of money each time they fights now, particularly Fury. Ngannou too began to earn some huge purses at the end of his UFC career, but nothing anywhere close to what Fury is used to earning.
Tyson Fury Purse
For the undefeated world heavyweight king, Tyson Fury, he is expected to earn in excess of £39 million for this crossover heavyweight clash against Ngannou (source: Evening Standard). Fury has been earning some massive purses of late, however this could trump them all.
‘The Gypsy King’ reportedly earned £21 million for the Chisora trilogy, £29.3 million for the Whyte showdown at Wembley Stadium and £20 million for the Deontay Wilder trilogy. These are his three biggest purses to date, but the £39 million ($50m) Fury is set to receive this weekend will be the biggest purse of his entire boxing career.
Francis Ngannou Purse
In the opposite corner, former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is also set to earn a huge pay-day too. According to the Evening Standard and indeed from Fury’s mouth, Ngannou is set to receive a purse of over $10 million (£8.25m) for his pro boxing debut against Tyson Fury.
This is more than Francia Ngannou has received in his entire UFC career to date. His biggest purse was just over $1 million for his last UFC bout against Ciryl Gane. Now, he is expected to earn $10m+ for one boxing fight. Staggering.
Fury weighed-in with his thoughts on Francis Ngannou’s decision to leave the UFC to pursue a career in boxing:
“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? Guy’s about to make $10 million. Come on! Egg in their face! Francis is going to make that bag. Rich!”

How Much Will The Fury vs Ngannou Winner Make?
Well, the answer to that question entirely depends on who wins the fight. Both men are expected to receive an individual fight purse, so depending on which man has their hand raised (see above) will determine how much the winner receives.
The winner of the bout will likely receive an additional purse on top of what they are already expected to take home. Do not be surprised if in the aftermath of the fight it is reported that the winner has earned far more than their original base purse states.
There is so much riding on this fight, both in terms of money and stature. Both men are being paid extremely lucratively for this fight and rightly so. If Tyson Fury is to win, which the best online gambling sites fully expect him to do judging by the odds, he could earn extra cash on top of his £39 million purse.
Similarly, if Francis Ngannou can claim the upset and pull off one of the biggest upsets in boxing history, he could earn some additional money too. No matter the result, both men are expected to receive a career-high payday this weekend.
As both men are extremely popular fighters, they have sponsors queuing up left, right and centre to enter endorsement deals with them. Not only that but the fight is expected to do well at the pay-per-view as well, so both Ngannou and Fury are certainly in for some additional cash on top of their already lucrative purses.
As of today for the ‘Battle Of The Baddest’, Tyson Fury is the overriding 1/14 favourite to win the fight with the best boxing betting sites. Some punters will of course fancy Francis Ngannou to pull off one of the biggest upsets in boxing history. He is currently priced around 8/1 with the best UK sports betting sites to claim a huge scalp on his boxing debut.
