Ahead of an eagerly anticipated heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte this Saturday, the team at ThePuntersPage decided to take a look at how much the Gypsy King has made per punch over his last 10 fights.
-
✃We found that the Morecambe man has earned over £114,057.20 per punch in his last 10 fights, and a staggering £122,839,600.00 in total based on TV rights and promoter fees.
Fury’s popularity has increased since his two victories over Deontay Wilder♋ and his public revelations about his mental health. Meanwhile, Whyte’s only defeat came against Anthony Joshua, with the former having long been in line for a shot at the Heavyweight titles. This is expected to be a blockbuster event, with many pundits predicting an early finish either way, given both fighters’ explosive power.
It’s been a remarkable journey for both men – Fury’s comeback has been praised as he climbed his way back to the top after problems involving drugs and alcohol. Whyte has had to wait a long time🌳, but the London man will surely be motivated and has interestingly skipped most of the media press conferences ahead of this battle.
However, our focus is back on Fury, with the Lineal Heavyweight Champion back in action in his own country for the first time since 2018ꦕ. Below, we've described what each punch has landed him.

-
Earnings: £7,718,875.00

2) Tom Schwarz (15/06/2019)
-
Earnings: £7,957,600.00
-
Punches landed: 37
-
Earnings per punch: £215,070.27
♏ A surprise entry in the number two spot, but, ultimately, a pay-per-view event which didn’t impress, this was probably the easiest payday of Fury’s career, with the latter having to land only 37 punches to put Schwarz away.
1) Deontay Wilder (22/02/2020)
-
Earnings: £31,600,000.00
