Top 10 list of the world’s richest fighters with Tyson Fury only seventh

The full list of the world’s richest fighters has been released.

British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury went into the ring with former UFC champion Francis Ngannou last week in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which reportedly earned him an eye-watering £50 million.

Fury won the contest in controversial style after he was named as the winner by a split decision.

However, despite the big paycheque, Fury is still a long way off the top spot according to ICE36, who has compiled the list of the world’s richest fighters.

Starting the list off in joint ninth place are MMA star Georges St. Pierre and boxers Gennady Golovkin and Deontay Wilder. All three fighters have a net worth of £24,635,550.

In eighth place is MMA superstar Khabib Nurmagomedov, who has a net worth of £32,847,400. Fury was next with £53,377,025.
