"Gypsy King" Tyson Fury paid only £70,000 last year, although he earned as much as £40 million and is indeed a frugal boxer.
Fury, 33, made a staggering £20m after beating his rivals in a trilogy match against Wilder in October. But at the end of the year, company accounts showed that the frugal boxer had only paid £70,000 for himself in a year, which was a pitiful amount for such a heavyweight boxer.
One source said: "Fury is very careful about spending money and knows the value of money. He was not as extravagant or ostentatious as some boxers and lived a very simple life. ”
They added: "It's humility that he's making sure his family is comfortable for generations to come." According to Fury's corporate accounts, he invested £3.4 million in the company in 2021. Cash reserves stood at £28.7 million as of the first half of 2021, an increase of £1 million over 2020.
Tyson's wife, Paris, once bought a £1.7 million house in the Lancashire waterfront resort of Morecambe, which was already a luxury for Tyson and is said to have been paid from the honorarium of the three-game battle against Wilder.
Fury and his wife Paris have three daughters: Venezuela, 12, Valencia, 3 and 2 months old Athena, and three sons, John James, 9, Tyson Jr., 4, and Adonis, 2. But he didn't have the luxury or ostentation of some boxers and lived a very simple life.
