Tyson Fury earned a nice payday from his fight with former UFC champion-turned-boxer Francis Ngannou in October. After his fight with Ngannou, the 35-year-old shared that he made almost \u00a350 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fury’s earnings from his fight with Ngannou would be the most he’s ever earned from a fight in his entire career. Derek Chisora, a friend and former opponent of Fury’s, said he expected the champion to earn at least \u00a340 million from his fight in an interview before the contest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before facing off against Ngannou, Fury made an average of \u00a323m in his last three fights against Chisora, for the third time, Dillian Whyte and Deontay Wilder, for the third time as well. The purse he received after his fight with Whyte was the largest he had gotten before his bout with Ngannou, at \u00a329m, per Sports Lens.<\/p>\n

Overall, his one fight with the former UFC champion netted Fury almost what he earned in three fights. However, the win didn’t come easy for the “Gypsy King” as Ngannou made life more difficult than expected.<\/p>\n

In the third round, Fury was knocked down by Ngannou after the latter hit the former with a left hook, shocking the crowd and leaving the Englishman dazed on the canvas with a confused look on his face. A sign of respect to Ngannou, Fury appeared to tap the former UFC heavyweight champion on the arm, acknowledging that he landed a good hit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite that fight being Ngannou’s first foray into professional boxing, the 37-year-old held his own against one of the best boxers on the planet. Ngannou’s debut was so impressive that many watching the match believed that he was the rightful winner of the contest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once the fight ended, however, Fury came out victorious on a controversial split decision. Two judges scored it 96-93 and 95-94 to Fury while another had 95-94 in favor of Ngannou.\u00a0<\/p>\n
