Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury walked away from Saudi Arabia with eye-watering fight purses as their earnings have been confirmed.

Usyk outpointed Fury by unanimous decision to defend his WBA (super), WBC and WBO world heavyweight titles in Riyadh.

All three judges scored it 116-112 to the undefeated Ukrainian, who registered a stunning achievement during the fight, per the punch stats.

The decision angered Fury, who hit out at the scoring of the world championship clash as he also slammed the AI scorecard.

"The judges gave him a Christmas gift. I feel like I won both fights," he said during his post-fight press conference.

"I know I had to knock him out but it's boxing and this happens. There is no doubt in my mind I won this fight.

"Frank had me three or four rounds up and a lot of people had me up by at least two."

Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh addressed the result as he released a statement in the wake of Saturday's card.

How much did Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury make from their rematch?

According to Ukrainian outlet Pravda, Usyk bagged a staggering £83.3 million while Fury pocketed a cool £67.3 million.

The pair are also in line to increase their earnings through pay-per-view revenue, with their rematch broadcasted on DAZN PPV, Sky Sports Box Office and TNT Sports Box Office.

However, the self-proclaimed 'Gypsy King' will have to cough up a huge sum to tax.

For their first fight, which was an undisputed showdown, Usyk and Fury earned a combined £116 million, with the Brit pocketing a 70 per cent share of the pot, which equates to £81.2 million.

Usyk has not only made a huge fortune in the heavyweight division but also a stunning splash since moving up in weight from the cruiserweight division.

He holds three of the four major world titles, with Daniel Dubois in possession of the IBF strap.

A second fight against Dubois has been mooted, which would be yet another undisputed heavyweight bout.
