Nobody can deny the fact that Tyson Fury has a lot of money and is worth over a million dollars. He’s the second richest boxer in the United Kingdom, as of now. Currently, Fury is also the WBC heavyweight champion, so basically, it’s his reign that dominates the boxing scene now. But the man is still humble and doesn’t like to boast his Millionaire status like most rich people. Recently, Boxing King Media put up a Facebook post regarding him flying in economy class with his team, instead of being capable of affording a first-class ticket.

The fans praised the ‘Gypsy King’ for choosing his friends and team, despite his own comfort. Tyson Fury is well-known for his charitable and kind nature, so this didn’t come as a surprise to a lot of fans.

Now there have been a lot of times when Tyson Fury has shown the world how good of a heart he has. There was a time when Fury gave his shoes to a homeless person who didn’t have anything on his feet, and they were bleeding.

Then, Tyson Fury also donated the 11 thousand dollars from Anthony Joshua bet he made with Frank Warren, to his favorable charity. And he said that other people in the world need it more than he does.

All these acts of kindness go to show that he does boxing because he loves the sport, not to earn money from it.
