However, unlike the first boxing bout this year, this rematch will not be for the undisputed title, after Usyk was stripped of the full IBF title.

The Ukrainian won in May 2024 by split decision and he is strongly favourite to beat the 37-year-old Briton once again.

According to The Independent, the total purse will be $190million and will be split 55-45 in Usyk’s favour if he emerges victorious.

In the first fight, Usyk took home $45million, while Fury earned $100million fully guaranteed, despite losing the fight.
