Last year, Anthony Joshua succumbed to one of the most disheartening career losses to the stout Oleksandr Usyk. In this fight, Joshua put his WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles on the line, eventually losing them via unanimous decision to Usyk. Since then, he’s remained keen on settling scores with the Ukrainian fighting icon. However, amidst the ongoing crisis between Russia and Ukraine, there’s all the possibility of this fight getting delayed. Recently, Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, spoke to Ariel Helwani. Here, he talked about this fight, ‘AJ’ getting into an interim bout, and more. Hearn said – “He (Usyk) can have the time he needs. We don’t want any other fight other than Oleksandr Usyk so whether there’s a delay to that fight and we have an interim bout, I guess that’s subject to you know the situation with Oleksandr Usyk and how much time that he needs.” “We wouldn’t be looking to get out of our obligation, is what I’m saying. The only fight ‘AJ’ wants right now is Oleksandr Usyk [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/oleksandr-usyk/]. If we have to fight in between, no problem at all.” Hearn added. Before fighting Usyk, Joshua [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/anthony-joshua] was in contention to meet Tyson Fury for an undisputed fight.

Citing that, ‘AJ’ is keen to insert his cards right, and possibly beat Usyk to keep himself up for an undisputed fight. IS AN INTERIM FIGHT THE BEST OPTION FOR ANTHONY JOSHUA? The future seems absolutely uncertain and unpredictable due to the ongoing crisis. As a result, it’s not easy to determine as to when will Joshua and Usyk fight again.

Anthony Joshua

ANTHONY JOSHUA Anthony Joshua: Net Worth 2024, Height, Age, Record, Endorsements, and More Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua or &#8216;AJ&#8217; as fans fondly call him has seen a meteoric to stardom in the heavyweight division. TheÂ two-timeÂ unified heavyweight champion has seen a lot of success ever since his professional debut in July 2013. Other than the traditional juggernauts of the heavyweight division like Mohammed Ali andÂ Mike Tyson, only a handful have had more success and have dominated the international boxing scene like the Englishman. He has successfully amassed a series ofÂ accoladesÂ over the course of his career. &#8216;AJ&#8217; won the IBF title in 2016, the WBA (Super) title in 2017, the WBO in March 2018, the IBO title in 2017, and the British and Commonwealth title at the regional level from 2014 to 2016. Athletics has always been AJ&#8217;s strength, from soccer to track and field. He has always been a prodigy. Joshua attempted to try his hand at boxing at the age of 18 after taking his cousin&#8217;s advice. Who is Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua holds the prestigious title of being a former unified world heavyweight champion. His journey in the boxing world began in his late teens, transitioning from a footballer and athlete to a formidable boxer. Joshuaâ€™s transformation from a troubled teenager to a heavyweight professional is a testament to his determination and resilience. His physical prowess and skill led him to an undefeated streak during his amateur career, culminating in a gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics. Joshuaâ€™s meteoric rise from the amateur ranks to world championships has solidified his reputation as a powerful puncher and a formidable opponent. Out of the six heavyweight belts globally, Joshua has previously conquered four holding them all at the same time, underscoring his dominance in the sport. His achievements and persona led him to be a contender for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, further cementing his place in the annals of boxing history. Anthony Joshua&#8217;s Early Life Anthony Joshua was born â€˜Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshuaâ€™ on October 15, 1989, in Watford, Hertfordshire, UK. However, he spent a part of his childhood in his parentâ€™s home country, Nigeria. His mother, Yeta Odusanya, is Nigerian, and his father, Robert Joshua, is part Nigerian and part Irish. He went to school in a Nigerian town called Ikene. He was 12 years old when his parents split, and his mother decided to move back. AJ returned to Watford to attend Kings Langley Secondary School. He was nicknamed &#8216;Femi&#8217; by his friends and teachers because of his middle name &#8216;Oluwafemi&#8217;. Upon joining Kings Langley Secondary School, Anthony Joshua inclined towards sports and doubled down in that domain. SHEFFIELD, ENGLAND &#8211; MARCH 21: Anthony Joshua trains during a media workout at the English Institute of Sport on March 21, 2018 in Sheffield, England. (Photo by Alex Livesey/Getty Images) The former champion excelled at football and athletics while growing up and showed great promise as a sprinter when he broke the 100m record where he completed the run in 11.6 seconds. Joshua grew up in Meriden Estate in Garston, Hertfordshire. The area was infamous for its crimes and drug problems. Growing up in this region, he found himself caught up in fights and all sorts of troubles as a teenager. Before being absorbed by boxing, he worked as a bricklayer. His cousin, Ben Lleyemi, took him to the Finchley Amateur Boxing Club in Barnet. This proved to be a turning point as he soon began training as a boxer here. Anthony Joshuaâ€™s Girlfriend and Children As of early 2024, Joshua doesn&#8217;t appear to be in a romantic relationship. Fans have continued to be curious about the star&#8217;s dating life throughout his career, despite the boxer keeping his private life out of the spotlight. In 2022 AJ&#8217;s supporters were sent into a frenzy when he made an appearance at a UFC show in London wearing what looked like a wedding ring. It was later revealed, however, that the piece of jewelry was actually a Â£300 Oura Ring &#8211; a hi-tech fitness tracker. AJ has been linked to a number of famous women since embarking on his sporting career, including supermodels Cara Delevingne and Bella Hadid. In October 2023 the boxer dismissed rumors of any A-list flings that have hit the headlines, saying: &#8220;I havenâ€™t actually been with any of those girls, by the way.&#8221; AJ then admitted that he was dating, but nobody famous. He said: &#8220;Iâ€™ve had girlfriends, but you could be in the local supermarket or in the local petrol station when we meet.&#8221;Â  Joshua himself once said he doesn&#8217;t have a lot of time for girlfriends, and couldn&#8217;t see himself settling down until his boxing career is over. He once said, &#8220;If people can ride with me for the next 10 to 12 years I would really appreciate it, but if they can&#8217;t foresee the future I&#8217;d rather they jump off the boat because I can&#8217;t stop for no one right now.&#8221; One former girlfriend who does play a significant part in AJ&#8217;s life is Nicole Osbourne, the mother of his son, named Joseph Bayley Temiloluwa Prince Joshua, affectionately nicknamed â€œJJâ€. JJ was born in October 2015 to Joshua and his ex-girlfriend, Nicole Osbourne. At present, Joseph is 7 years old. Joshua and Osbourne share custody of Joseph and maintain an amicable relationship. They are often seen together at public events. It was reported at the time that Joshua had bought a Â£500,000 flat in Finchley, North London for his son and ex-girlfriend. Although Anthony and Nicole are not in a relationship, the star has showered the mother of his son with praise. Speaking to Louis Theroux in the documentary maker&#8217;s BBC Two series, Anthony said: â€œShe&#8217;s an amazing woman, you know. We got together in 2005, we were about 15 or 16 years old. I have so much respect for her.&#8221; Anthony Joshuaâ€™s Net Worth 2024 34-year-old, AJ comes with a grand career record of 27-3. Ever since his debut in 2013, heâ€™s been under a promotional contract with Eddie Hearnâ€™s Matchroom Boxing. Their alliance has led to the fighter booking some of the most lucrative matchups of this era. For instance, his two-loss fights against Ukrainian fighter, Usyk in the years 2021-22, got him a combined total of about $100 million. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ots2-8Dxfl8&amp;ab_channel=DAZNBoxing His first Andy Ruiz fight from 2019, which he lost, earned him about $25 million. However, in the same year, for their rematch, which he won, he hit the jackpot by taking home close to $60 million. Last year, from the three fights he undertook, his Riyadh clash against Otto Wallin came to him with a victory and an additional $10 million. The Londoner, who has a massive following throughout his social media accounts is also said to be earning tens of thousands of dollars per month via endorsements. He has signed with brands like Lucozade, Under Armour, Hugo Boss, Land Rover, and Jaguar. As per records, his net worth as of December last year stands at a whopping $100 million. READ:?Â Anthony Joshua: All Video Game Appearances Anthony Joshua: Career Timeline Boxing under the promotional banner of Matchroom Boxing, Joshua burst onto the professional scene in 2013. He took on Emanuele Leo and beat him in the first round at the O2 Arena in London. Ring MagazineÂ named Joshua The Prospect of the Year, just a year after his emergence in the professional boxing circuit. JoshuaÂ bagged a silver in the World Championship back in 2011, which got the ball rolling for the Londoner. However,Â heÂ became a star when heÂ wonÂ the Gold Medal at the 2012 London Olympics against former World Champion, Roberto Cammarelle. Joshua conceded the onlyÂ defeatÂ of his career at the hands ofÂ Andy Ruiz Jr.Â The loss actively stripped him of all his titles. However, AJ overcame Ruiz in a rematch in 2019 andÂ reclaimedÂ his lost treasures, simultaneously becoming the two-time heavyweight champion of the world.

After Pulev, Joshua set himself up for one of the biggest upsets in boxing history when he went against Oleksandr Usyk on September 25, 2021. Joshua faced the highly skilled Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Usyk presented a formidable challenge with his technical proficiency and slick movement. Despite Joshua&#8217;s efforts, Usyk outboxed him throughout the fight, resulting in a unanimous decision victory for Usyk. This defeat marked a setback for Joshua losing him the WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight belts, and also added an intriguing chapter to his career. Determined to regain his title again, he activated the rematch clause and went up against Usyk a second time on August 20, 2022. In their highly anticipated rematch, Usyk once again emerged victorious, securing a split-decision win over Joshua. The fight added another chapter to their rivalry and raised questions about Joshua&#8217;s future in the heavyweight division. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yQ1jippKqU&amp;ab_channel=DAZNBoxing After those defeats, he returned to the winning ways, defeating Jermaine Franklin Jr. and Robert Helenius, the latter by KO. In December, he went up against Swedish Heavyweight Otto Wallin on the Day of Reckoning card in Saudi Arabia. Anthony Joshua put on a career reinvigorating performance against Wallin by smashing him with powerful jabs that forced his corner to throw in the towel in round 5 ending the fight via a TKO. Now after a successful comeback to form in 2023, he now prepares for the Predator, Francis Ngannou in hopes of eventually getting a shot at winning back his titles. Anthony Joshuaâ€™s Contract Joshua made his pro debut in 2013 under the Matchroom banner. A 2012 Olympic gold medalist, Joshua won the IBF heavyweight title in 2016, the WBA and IBO titles in 2017, and the WBO title in 2018. During this time he beat a who&#8217;s who of fighters, including Dillian Whyte, Charles Martin, Wladimir Klitschko, Joseph Parker, and Alexander Povetkin.

Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua signed an exclusive partnership with DAZN, leaving Sky Sports in the process before his fight with Oleksandr Usyk. The deal included at least two fights a year until his retirement. The deal also saw Joshua becoming a shareholder, special advisor, and brand ambassador for DAZN. He also joined DAZN&#8217;s strategic advisory board for its global expansion of boxing content.

He also left Sky Sports and signed an exclusive contract with DAZN that will see him rake in another Â£100m in exchange for two fights every 12 months until he retires. Speaking after signing the DAZN deal, he said: &#8220;I&#8217;ve been working with DAZN and following its progress for a long time.

Oleksandr Usyk

OLEKSANDR USYK Boxing &#8211; WBA, IBF &amp; WBO Heavyweight Titles &#8211; Anthony Joshua v Oleksandr Usyk &#8211; Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, Britain &#8211; September 25, 2021 Oleksandr Usyk celebrates winning his fight against Anthony Joshua Action Images via Reuters/Andrew Couldridge Oleksandr Usyk 2021: Record, Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements Who is Oleksandr Usyk? Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk is a Ukrainian professional boxer who fights in the heavyweight division. He is the current unified heavyweight champion, former undisputed cruiserweight world champion, and one of the few to have held all four belts in the sport. At present, he is one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the sport. As of April 2024, he sits at #3 on the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board and the Ring Magazine ratings while ranking #2 on ESPN&#8217;s list of divisional boxing rankings in the heavyweight class. Prior to dominating the professional game, Usyk showed his prowess in the amateur scene. According toÂ boxrec, the Ukrainian has a frankly unbelievable amateur record of 335-15. Along with this incredible record, he picked up several titles. The most significant of all was his 2012 Olympic Gold medal. Subsequently, he turned pro in the cruiserweight division and, as of April 2024, is still unbeaten despite moving up to heavyweight and clinching the WBA, WBO, and IBF titles in the heavyweight division. 2024 could be the biggest year for Usyk, as he is in line to fight for the undisputed heavyweight title against Tyson Fury, the current WBC and Ring Magazine champion. If successful, he could be the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era. RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA &#8211; OCTOBER 28: Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk face off after the Heavyweight fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou at Boulevard Hall on October 28, 2023 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. (Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty Images) He has also started his own promotionalÂ companyÂ called Usyk-17 Promotions. Oleksandr Usykâ€™s Early Life Oleksandr Usyk, born in 1987 in Simferopol, Ukraine, is a towering figure in the world of boxing, not just physically but also due to his remarkable achievements. Growing up in Ukraine, Usyk began his boxing journey at a young age, inspired by his father&#8217;s interest in the sport. Originally starting in football, Usyk&#8217;s exceptional footwork caught attention early on. However, fate had boxing in store for him. At 15, he shifted his focus and embarked on a rigorous training journey that would define his career. Ukraine&#8217;s Oleksandr Usyk dances as he celebrates after being declared the winner over Italy&#8217;s Clemente Russo during their Men&#8217;s Heavy (91kg) gold medal boxing match at the London Olympics August 11, 2012. REUTERS/Damir Sagolj (BRITAIN &#8211; Tags: OLYMPICS SPORT BOXING) Usyk&#8217;s talent quickly became evident as he rose through the ranks. His amateur career was a string of successes, culminating in a gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics in the heavyweight division. His record of 335 wins out of 350 fights speaks volumes about his early dominance and skill. Beyond his athletic prowess, Usyk is a man of faith, deeply committed to his Christian beliefs. Family plays a pivotal role in his life, serving as his source of strength and motivation. Oleksandr Usykâ€™s Wife and Children Oleksandr Usyk has been married to Yekaterina Usyk (also sometimes called Kateryna) for about 15 years, keeping their relationship private. They got married in 2009, about 4 years before Usyk made his professional debut in 2013. They have four children together: daughter Yelizaveta, sons Mykhailo and Kyrylo, and a daughter Maria born in January 2024. Usyk&#8217;s boxing career has meant missing some family events, but they appear to be a close unit with Yekaterina supporting him at fights whenever possible. He also carries with him a soft plush toy given to him by his son, who believes it to be a lucky charm keeping his father safe. Usyk and his young family had to flee their home in Vorzel, Bucha, when the area was overrun by Vladimir Putin&#8217;s troops in 2022 during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Oleksandr Usykâ€™s Net Worth 2024 Usyk is one of the biggest boxers in the sport at the moment. It is therefore not surprising that his net worth should also reflect that fact. The unified heavyweight champion as of January 2024 worth approximately $50 million. Majority of his income comes from boxing purses, while some are from endorsements and investments. A huge chunk of his net worth is thanks to the two fights he undertook against the former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in 2021 and 2022. Especially the second fight, according to InsideSport, is estimated to have netted the Ukrainian more than $75 million in total. Boxing &#8211; WBA, IBF &amp; WBO Heavyweight Titles &#8211; Anthony Joshua v Oleksandr Usyk &#8211; Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, Britain &#8211; September 25, 2021 Anthony Joshua in action against Oleksandr Usyk Action Images via Reuters/Andrew Couldridge Before his historic fights against Anthony Joshua, was fighting for a five-figure payday. Five years later, things are different. Here are the purse details from some of his other fights:-  Date Opponent Result / Round Location Total Purse  Sept 2017 Marco Huck TKO / 10 Germany $70,000  July 2018 Murat Gassiev UD / 12 Russia $400,000  Nov 2018 Tony Bellew KO / 8 England $1,000,000  Oct 2020 Derek Chisora UD / 12 England $2,300,000  Sept 2021 Anthony Joshua 1 UD / 12 England $20,000,000  Aug 2022 Anthony Joshua 2 SD / 12 Saudi Arabia $75,000,000  Aug 2023 Daniel Dubois KO / 9 Poland $6,000,000  Oleksandr Usykâ€™s Career Timeline As of April 2024, Usyk&#8217;s record stands at a perfect 21-0. 14 of these have come through knockouts, which gives him a respectable 66.67% knockout rate. Usyk began his professional boxing journey on November 9, 2013, in Kiev, Ukraine. His first opponent was Felipe Romero, whom he defeated via a fifth-round technical knockout (TKO). This victory marked the beginning of Usyk&#8217;s rise in the cruiserweight division. Usyk&#8217;s path to championship glory gained momentum in 2015 as he faced and defeated experienced fighters such as Andrei Kniazev, Johnny Muller, and South African boxer Thabiso Mchunu. These victories not only added to his undefeated record but also demonstrated his ability to handle diverse styles and challenges inside the ring. In 2016, Usyk&#8217;s career took a significant leap forward when he fought for the WBO cruiserweight title against Krzysztof Glowacki. The bout took place on September 17, 2016, in Gdansk, Poland. Usyk delivered a dominant performance, outclassing Glowacki with his technical skills and securing a unanimous decision victory. This win made Usyk the new WBO cruiserweight champion, signaling his arrival as a force to be reckoned with in the division. Kyiv, UKRAINE &#8211; April 18, 2015 : Oleksandr Usyk (Ukraine) in the ring during fight for WBO Inter-Continental cruiserweight title in the Palace of sport, Kiev Usyk&#8217;s quest for unification continued as he faced Mairis Briedis on January 27, 2018, in Riga, Latvia, in the World Boxing Super Series semi-final. The fight was highly anticipated, with both boxers putting on a memorable performance. Usyk faced a tough challenge in Briedis but ultimately emerged victorious via a majority decision, adding the WBC cruiserweight title to his collection. The final step in Usyk&#8217;s unification journey came in the World Boxing Super Series final against Murat Gassiev on July 21, 2018, in Moscow, Russia. This bout was for the undisputed cruiserweight championship, with all four major belts on the line. Usyk delivered a masterclass performance, outboxing Gassiev over 12 rounds and winning via a unanimous decision. With this victory, Usyk became the first undisputed cruiserweight champion since Evander Holyfield, solidifying his status as one of the best in the division&#8217;s history. After achieving dominance in the cruiserweight division, Usyk made the decision to move up to heavyweight, seeking new challenges and opportunities. His first fight in the heavyweight division took place on October 12, 2019, against Chazz Witherspoon in Chicago, Illinois. Usyk showcased his skill and adaptability, defeating Witherspoon via a seventh-round TKO and announcing his arrival as a legitimate contender in the heavyweight ranks. Usyk&#8217;s most significant heavyweight bout to date occurred on September 25, 2021, against Anthony Joshua in London, England. This fight was for the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles, with Usyk looking to make history by becoming a two-weight world champion. In a stunning upset, Usyk outboxed and outclassed Joshua over 12 rounds, securing a unanimous decision victory and becoming the new unified heavyweight champion of the world. However, for Joshua that wasn&#8217;t the end as he quickly invoked the rematch clause, and thus a second match was finalized. The highly anticipated rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and AJ, dubbed &#8220;Rage on the Red Sea&#8221;, took place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on August 20, 2022. Usyk entered the fight aiming to defend his WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles. The fight went the full distance, with Usyk employing his signature southpaw stance and exceptional footwork to outbox and outmaneuver Joshua throughout most of the twelve rounds. Despite a more aggressive approach in the later rounds, the judges awarded a split decision victory (115-113, 116-112, 113-115) to Usyk, cementing his reign as the unified heavyweight champion. Usyk&#8217;s first title defense against Daniel Dubois in Poland in August 2023 was a close call. A controversial low blow from Dubois in round five gave Usyk a chance to recover. Usyk capitalized, winning by knockout in the ninth round. However, nothing compares to the importance of his next fight against Tyson Fury on May 18, 2024. The winner will be crowned the undisputed heavyweight champion, holding all four major belts (WBA, IBF, WBO, WBC) for the first time in over 25 years. This will be one for the books. Is he ready to take on the might of the &#8216;Gypsy King&#8217;? RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA &#8211; OCTOBER 28: Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk shake hands after the Heavyweight fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou at Boulevard Hall on October 28, 2023 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. (Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty Images) Oleksandr Usykâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements Usyk rakes in major money from sponsorships with well-known companies such as Nike and Adidas. The Olympic gold medalist earns about $20 million from the sports apparel companies. According to some reports, the heavyweight champion also has endorsements, with Rival boxing (equipment), Jaxet (clothing), Lomus (fashion) and WePlay Esports (video games), which brings him approximately $1 million. Beyond the ring, Usyk is a multi-faceted entrepreneur. He co-owns a boxing social media platform called â€˜Ready to Fightâ€™ and also runs a non-profit organization to help people from Ukraine recover from the ongoing war. His philanthropic side shines through his non-profit organization. The 37-year-old also founded his own boxing promotion company, Usyk-17 Promotions, which helps young athletes begin a career in the sport. Usyk proves you don&#8217;t need a silver tongue to be heavyweight royalty. Sure, he might not be a master of the mic, but his lightning jabs are a far more lucrative investment. His genuine smile and eye contact connect with fans in a way that translates to millions, proving that sometimes silence speaks louder than boasts. Oleksandr Usykâ€™s Career, Stats, and Record Usyk&#8217;s upcoming fight with Tyson Fury is massive for boxing. This fight is a clash of styles: Usyk, the smaller, more technical boxer, versus Fury, the larger, unorthodox fighter. A win for Usyk would solidify his dominance as a heavyweight who can overcome size with skill. For Fury, victory would be the final piece in his legacy, unifying the division and potentially leading to retirement.

The fund is dedicated to helping Ukrainians affected by the Russian invasion by providing for their basic needs. They created the Usyk Foundation in order to mobilize financial support from the international community â€” caring people who want to contribute to the advent of peace. To date, the non-profit organization has distributed $740,000 to the Ukrainian armed forces; has sent out 30 vans filled with humanitarian aid; donated 67 cars for transport for the armed forces; and has held 7 charity auctions to help to contribute more help for the Ukrainian people. Usyk is also the co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Ready to Fight, a digital social platform for boxers. The platform aims to revolutionize the boxing industry by creating a digital ecosystem where athletes can seamlessly connect and collaborate with coaches, managers, agents, sparring partners, sports medicine professionals, promoters, sponsors, and fans. It hopes to create a space where up and coming boxers can find a voice and representation without having to go through the tedious process of finding a promoter or coach on one&#8217;s own. Â Â Oleksandr Usykâ€™s Titles Oleksandr Usyk&#8217;s trophy cabinet showcases his dominance across two weight divisions. As an amateur, he rose to prominence with a gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics. Turning professional, he conquered the cruiserweight division, collecting all four major world titles: WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, and WBO. This feat made him the first undisputed cruiserweight champion in history.

REUTERS/Damir Sagolj (BRITAIN &#8211; Tags: OLYMPICS SPORT BOXING) In 2019, Usyk set his sights on the heavyweight crown. He quickly captured the WBA (Super), IBF, and WBO titles by defeating Anthony Joshua in 2021. In their 2022 rematch, Usyk added the prestigious Ring Magazine title to his collection, solidifying his reign as the unified heavyweight champion. Come May 18, he will fight to add another undisputed title to his list of accomplishments. In doing so, he will be the only fourth boxer to ever hold the undisputed champion status in two weight classes in the four-belt era.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Â Who is Tyson Fury?</h2>
The man whom everyone in the boxing circuit regards as the 'Gypsy King' was born on the 12th of August in 1988. Tyson was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/news/inside-the-comeback-story-of-tyson-fury-the-undefeated-gypsy-king-who-overcame-a-depression-and-shed-112-pounds-to-be-heavyweight-champion-of-the-world-twice/articleshow/74344114.cms">born</a> 3 months before schedule, coming in at a mere 1lb. His chances of survival were extremely low.

However, he survived. His father named him after the legendary Mike Tyson. The Englishman followed in his American namesake and <a href="https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/27680">father</a>'s footsteps into the boxing ring.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Tyson Fury's family and early life</h2>
Tyson Fury's father, John Fury, was previously married to Amber Fury. They had four children - Tyson, his brother Shane Fury, a Heavyweight boxer, and Hugh Fury. The fourth child, Ramona Fury, sadly passed away a few months after her birth.

Tyson Fury's father, John Fury, was previously married to Amber Fury. They had four children - Tyson, his brother Shane Fury, a Heavyweight boxer, and Hugh Fury. The fourth child, Ramona Fury, sadly passed away a few months after her birth.

Through John Fury's second marriage to Chantal, who has Mauritian ancestry, Tyson Fury is a half-brother to Tommy Fury, Roman Fury, a Cruiserweight contender, and John Fury Jr., reportedly an amateur boxer.

'The Gypsy King' was born on 12th August 1988. He grew up in the Wythenshawe area of Manchester, England. From an early age, he showed an aptitude for boxing. Hailing from an Irish traveling family, and a long bloodline of fighters, some would say Tyson choosing the 'sweet science' as his profession was inevitable.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Tyson Furyâ€™s career timeline</h2>
Fury made his professional debut in December 2008. He took on Bela Gyongyosi in his first outing as a professional. The preliminary card bout ended with Fury dropping his Hungarian opponent in the first round with a lethal combination to the head and the body.

After winningÂ  English, British, and Commonwealth titles, Tyson Fury, with his rangy and unorthodox fighting style, reached the top of the heavyweight division in 2015 after defeating the 11-year unbeaten Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko to become the unified world heavyweight champion. However following his win over Klitschko, he struggled with depression forcing him to take a hiatus of three years.

He came back in action in 2018, notching up easy wins against Sefer Seferi and Francesco Pianeta. In the same year, he also drew a fight for the first time against<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/deontay-wilder/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Deontay Wilder</a>. However, his stupefying performance earned him a rematch. He won the WBC title after having bulldozed through Deontay Wilder in 2020. This saw him become a two-time world heavyweight champion.

Moreover, Fury added another spectacular victory to his resume by defeating Wilder in their highly anticipated trilogy fight in October 2021. After 10 rounds of war, 'The Gypsy King' finally put his rivalry with the 'Bronze Bomber' to rest via T/KO in the 11th round.

After beating Wilder, Fury demolished longtime WBC mandatory challenger <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dillian-whyte/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dillian Whyte</a> on April 23, 2022. And in December, he defended his WBC heavyweight title against Derek Chisora in a trilogy showdown.

'The Gypsy King' has amassed an astonishing record of 24 wins by T/KO in 34 professional fights.

Then came the mega clash between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou. This highly anticipated bout came months after fans and followers learned of the Cameroonian-American mixed martial artist's departure from UFC.

In a shocking display, Tyson was barely able to defeat <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/francis-ngannou/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Francis Ngannou</a> as the former was even made to taste the canvas by the MMA sensation. The crossover boxing bout made a huge dent in Fury's reputation, even though he secured a split-decision victory.

He is currently set to face Oleksandr Usyk for an undisputed heavyweight fight.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Â Tyson Furyâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements</h2>
Per <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/tyson-fury/?sh=4b6b3cd331d3">Forbes</a>, Fury earns a substantial amount through endorsements alone. One of his major sponsors has been <a href="https://sponsorpitch.com/properties/tyson-fury">Wow Hydrate</a>. However, Fury also has his line of <a href="https://tysonfuryofficialmerchandise.com/">merchandise</a> and energy drink called Furocity.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Tyson Furyâ€™s Career Stats and Record</h2>
Tyson Fury is an undefeated heavyweight champion. His boxing record stands at 34-0-1. He has a knockout ratio of 70.59%.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Â Tyson Furyâ€™s charity and foundation</h2>
Philanthropy comes to Tyson Fury as naturally as a jab or a hook. He is well known to open up his heart and wallet to the less fortunate and in need. Following his first fight against Deontay Wilder, Fury claimed to have <a href="https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/491322/tyson-fury-news-gypsy-king-worth-deontay-wilder-purse-charity-rematch/">donated</a> his entire fight purse to charitable organizations in the UK. This was because he wanted to direct the finances toward the construction of homes for alcohol and drug addicts.

In another incident in 2022, after fight negotiations with Anthony Joshua collapsed, Furyâ€™s promoter Frank Warren had to pay up after losing a bet against the â€™Gypsy Kingâ€™. Fury was convinced that Joshua wouldnâ€™t sign the dotted line and ended up staking Â£10,000. Eventually, he ended up donating his winnings from the bet to a charity called DEBRA which looks after people suffering from Epidermolysis Bullosa - a painful genetic skin blister condition.

Tyson Fury also has his <a href="https://mtkglobal.com/mtk-global/fury-announces-tyson-fury-foundation/">foundation</a> called the Tyson Fury Foundation.

The sprawling mansion, which features heavily in the Netflix documentaryÂ  At Home With The Furys, is decked up with gold chandeliers, marble-topped counters, and a grand piano. The property also boasts a water fountain and a mini-playground with the "Gypsy King" logo painted on the floor.

Reportedly, Tyson Fury moved into the mansion with his family from a five-bed, four-bathroom Lancashire home, estimated to be worth around Â£550,000, in 2021. This property also had lavish decorations which included gold curtains, and a gold-framed Versace mirror. Moreover, Oil paintings, large photos of Fury in action, and a trophy cabinet adorned the walls of the beautiful home.

Another acquisition befitting Fury's luxury lifestyle is the white-cobbled mansion in Marbella estimated to be worth around $ 6 Million. According to the Mirror, the luxurious property has columns, large windows, and loads of palm trees.

Last but not least, is his stunning mansion in Las Vegas, which is used by the Fury family when the â€˜Gypsy Kingâ€™ comes to fight in the United States.Â  Reportedly, Fury allows his coach to live in that property rent-free.
