According to Stocklytics, Fury would be forced to pay £44,986,203 in income tax and £2,002,764.60 in national insurance after the fight.That would leave the 35-year-old with a total prize fund of £53,011,032.40.
In the ring, Fury had said of Usyk: "His country is at war. So people are siding with someone whose country is at war. I won that fight."
