Francis Ngannou

FRANCIS NGANNOU Francis Ngannou: Net Worth 2024, Record, Stats &amp; More LAS VEGAS, NEVADA &#8211; MARCH 27: Francis Ngannou of Cameroon reacts after his victory over Stipe Miocic in their UFC heavyweight championship fight during the UFC 260 event at UFC APEX on March 27, 2021 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) Who is Francis Ngannou? Francis Ngannou is one of the scariest heavyweights on the planet. &#8220;The Predator&#8221; is known for his insane knockouts of top-ranked heavyweights in the UFC. Not only does Francis knock them out, but he also knocks them out early. It&#8217;s been ten years since Cameroon-born Francis Xavier Ngannou became a professional mixed martial arts fighter. The aspiring boxer, who made his pro-boxing debut in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 28 October 2023, entered the octagon for the first time on November 30, 2013, and two years later joined UFC, where he remained for the next eight years. Now, he prepares for his next fight against two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua on March 8, again in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Francis Ngannouâ€™s Early Life Francis Ngannou was born September 5, 1986, in a village in Batie, Cameroon. The information regarding his education or schooling remains limited. According to a website, he had to walk for about two hours to attend a school six miles from his residence. Another portal even mentioned him switching at least five schools. Anyhow, he started working in a sand quarry at age ten. As almost every fan and follower might be aware, though he could easily converse in French, over the years, Ngannou learned English as well. A few years ago, Ngannou had shared a beautiful photo of his family, three brothers, and a sister, standing around their mother, Mamma Ngannou, who divorced her husband, Emmanuel Fosso, when the future UFC Heavyweight champion was barely six. Francis Ngannouâ€™s Girlfriend The 37-year-old fighter remains a bachelor and, per available reports, doesn&#8217;t seem to be dating anyone. However, according to a July article in The Sun, UK Edition, there were rumors that he was seeing former UFC Bantamweight champion Meisha Tate, but that remains unconfirmed. Recently, there have been rumors of Kim Kardashian supposedly looking to woo the Cameroonian-French Heavyweight. Adding fuel to the fire is Ngannou&#8217;s recent suggestive exchanges on Kim Kardashian&#8217;s social media posts. Francis Ngannouâ€™s Net Worth 2024 According to the celebrity net worth, the 37-year-old Cameroonian-French fighter has, over the years, amassed a wealth that hovers in the vicinity of $5 million. Hence, it would be fair to assume that participation in the UFC contests would have formed the lion&#8217;s share of his lifetime earnings. MMA: UFC 270-Ngannou vs Gane, Jan 22, 2022 Anaheim, California, USA Francis Ngannou speaks with media following his championship victory at UFC 270 at Honda Center. Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports, 22.01.2022 00:01:41, 17551666, NPStrans, Francis Ngannou, Honda Center, MMA PUBLICATIONxINxGERxSUIxAUTxONLY Copyright: xGaryxA.xVasquezx 17551666 There seems to be no unanimity over his take home from the MMA fights alone. While MMA Salaries cites around $3,779,500, The Sports Lite mentions around $4,179,000. Thus, averaging it at $4,000,000 would make his annual income during the eight years he was with the UFC makes it $500,000. Anyhow, according to a January article on GiveMeSport, the annual salary of Francis Ngannou varied as follows:  2015 $25,000  2016 $175,000  2017 $220,000  2018 $900,000  2019 $525,000  2020 $320,000  2021 $900,000  2022 $1,200,000  Let&#8217;s look at some of the critical paydays of Ngannou&#8217;s career. It included his base salary, the bonus for winning, and the sponsorship deal and share in the PPV subscriptions: Versus Luis Henrique, December 2015 &#8211; For his first fight under the UFC banner, Francis Ngannou took home approximately $22,500 (no performance bonus)  Versus Curtis Blaydes, April 2016 &#8211; $26,500 (no performance bonus)  Versus Bojan Mihajlovic, July 2016 &#8211; $30,500 (no performance bonus)  Versus Anthony Hamilton, December 2016 &#8211; $124,500 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Andrei Arlovski, January 2017 &#8211; $128,000 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Alistair Overeem, December 2017 &#8211; $90,000 (no performance bonus)  Versus Stipe Miocic, January 2018 &#8211; $530,000 (no performance bonus)  Versus Derrick Lewis, July 2018 &#8211; $105,000 (no performance bonus)  Versus Curtis Blaydes II, November 2018 &#8211; $255,000 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Cain Velasquez, February 2019 &#8211; $225,000 (no performance bonus)  Versus Junior Dos Santos, June 2019 &#8211; $300,000 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Jairzinho Rozenstruik, May 2020 &#8211; $320,000 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Stipe Miocic II, March 2021 &#8211; $580,000 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Cyril Gane, January 2022 &#8211; $1,042,000 (PPV earnings $400,000) It would be imprudent to conclude that Francis Ngannou made his fortune entirely through mixed martial arts bouts. A close perusal across portals reveals that The Predator could have had or still has endorsement deals with Cryo Pain Relief, CBD Research Labs, Gym King Fight Division, and The Fight Game. According to Forbes, Francis Ngannou invested in the healthy snack brand PeaTos two years ago. The move made him one of the minority stakeholders in the company. Credits &#8211; Imago Finally, after his exit from the UFC this year, the Predator signed up with the Professional Fighters League, where he might receive as much as $4 million for each fight. Additionally, benefits such as chairmanship of the franchise&#8217;s African promotions and greater involvement in the athletic advisory board also appear in the offing. In contrast to his entire MMA career, sources suggest that the Cameroonian-French hard hitter will earn much more in his boxing stints. His debut in the fight format against the WBC champion,Â Tyson Fury,Â solidified his name in the heavyweight division. That Riyadh fight alone earned him a jaw-dropping $10 million, his highest paycheck ever. Through it all, his current estimated net worth in 2024 stands at an impressive $15 million (approx). For his upcoming fight against AJ, Ngannou is guaranteed to take home about $2o million, which will make his net worth significantly higher in the coming days. Francis Ngannouâ€™s MMA and Boxing Career Timeline It might be interesting for many to know that Francis Ngannou&#8217;s initial interest in combat sports remained boxing. He had always been a Mike Tyson fan. However, during his stay in Paris, France, he met another Cameroonian-French mixed martial arts fighter and now coach, Fernand Lopez Owonyebe, at his MMA Factory gym. The latter introduced him to the nuances and scope of MMA, besides allowing him to stay at the gym. By 2013, Francis Ngannou was ready and launched his professional career on November 30. The bout occurred under the French promotion 100% Fight: Contenders 20. Ngannou was on a ten-fight win streak before he faced the UFC heavyweight champion,Â Stipe Miocic. He had obliterated his previous opponents with T/KO&#8217;s and submissions. &#8216;The Predator&#8217; has one of the most devastating knockouts in the UFC againstÂ Alistair Overeem. With a resume like that, Ngannou was next in line to be the heavyweight champion. However, during his title fight against Miocic, Ngannou got overconfident, and it exposed many holes in his game. It took some effort for Ngannou to recover from the loss. His next fight with Derrick Lewis lacked action. He lost to &#8216;The Black Beast&#8217; by a unanimous decision. Many people thought Ngannou was done. However, he made an incredible comeback in his next fight against Curtis Blaydes, followed by his wins over UFC legend Cain Velasquez, Junior dos Santos, and Jairzinho Rozenstruik. &#8216;The Predator&#8217; has put together a 10-2Â recordÂ in the UFC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLqyRdwDzBQ&amp;ab_channel=UFC Let&#8217;s look at some of the big fights he participated in during the last five years: Versus Ciryl Gane, January 22, 2022: Francis Ngannou defeated fellow French fighter Ciryl Gane during the second title defense in Anaheim, California, unanimously.  Versus Stipe Miocic, March 27, 2021: The Predatory became the UFC Heavyweight champion, knocking out the Miocic with punches in the second round. The bout, additionally, fetched him the Performance of the Night award. The fight was equally crucial since it was the second time Ngannou and Miocic were squaring up. The first meet-up ended in a loss for the Cameroonian-French fighter&#8217;s loss. Versus Alistair Overeem, December 2, 2017: One of Francis Ngannou&#8217;s most well-recognized fights. He knocked out the dreaded, hard-hitting kickboxer Alistair Overeem with a bone-cracking left hook in the first round. It was a title eliminator that enabled him to challenge Stipe Miocic the following year. Versus Anthony Hamilton, December 9, 2016: Three years after his professional debut in the mixed martial arts world, the first-round win over the American Hamilton fetched Ngannou&#8217;s first Performance of the Night award. Given that he always wanted to try boxing before taking up mixed martial arts, The Predator finally received a chance to make a name for himself in the squared circle. Ngannou took on the undefeated WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in a professional boxing match billed as &#8220;Battle of the Baddest&#8221; on October 28, 2023, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Ngannou was able to knock down Fury in the third round, taking the fight all the way to the scorecards, in which the judges awarded Fury the victory in a controversial split decision (95â€“94, 96â€“93, 94â€“95). According to CompuBox, Fury outlanded Ngannou 71 to 59 in total punches, while Ngannou outlanded Fury 37 to 32 in power punches. Now, he takes on Anthony Joshua in the second match of his pro-boxing career. WATCH: Insane 20-Second Knockout by Francis Ngannou Stuns UFC 249 Francis Ngannouâ€™s Contract Though Francis Ngannou and the UFC went their separate ways in late 2022, the issues broke out a few years ago. So problems arose with The Predator facing his second career loss at the hands of Stipe Miocic in 2018. Reportedly, UFC boss Dana White was very unhappy with the outcome because the franchise considered him one of the biggest stars in the making. The reversal resulted in Francis Ngannou waiting nearly three years to receive the next shot at the UFC Heavyweight championship. But the problems persisted despite him becoming a champion as he was given marching orders to defend his titles in August of that year. Given the short time gap, Ngannou requested that the fight be postponed to September, and finally, the second title defense came about in January of 2022. Additionally, The Predator had raised concerns regarding fighter&#8217;s pay and providing other benefits such as health insurance. The two sides disagreed with his contract with the franchise ending by December 2022. Finally, the UFC passed over his one-year matching rights clause. It rendered Francis Ngannou a free agent as a result. After B.J. Penn in 2004, he became the second only champion to move out of the fight promotions company. Francis Ngannou&#8217;s Deal with the PFL On May 16, 2023, it was announced that Ngannou had signed a multi-fight deal with the Professional Fighters League (PFL). He will be competing in their pay-per-view &#8220;super fight&#8221; division, while still being free to compete in other sports such as boxing. Ngannou also negotiated on behalf of his opponents, guaranteeing them to be paid at least $2 million. He will also be a part of PFL&#8217;s global advisory board, meant to advocate for fighters&#8217; interests, and an equity owner and chairman of the upcoming PFL Africa league. On February 22, 2024, it was announced that Ngannou would make his MMA return sometime this year against Renan Ferreira, the Heavyweight PFL winner of the PFL vs. Bellator event on February 24, 2024, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Francis Ngannouâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements Ngannou hasÂ endorsedÂ Gym King Fight Division, CBD Research Labs,Â Cryo Pain Relief, and The Fight Game. Francis Ngannou&#8217;s relationship with Mike Tyson It was early in August 2023 when news came that Francis Ngannou would team up with the youngest Heavyweight champion in boxing history, Mike Tyson, to prepare him for the big fight against Tyson Fury. According to the former UFC Heavyweight champion, who always idolized the former Heavyweight champion, the two were already in talks since they first met in the latter&#8217;s podcast, Hotboxin with Mike Tyson. About their partnership, Mike Tyson said, &#8220;It&#8217;s no secret I back Ngannou 100 percent in this face-off of champions. He has one hard punch, and when it lands, it&#8217;s game over. I am looking forward to working with Ngannou and supporting his transition from the Octagon to the boxing ring.&#8221; Even though Francis Ngannou doesn&#8217;t have any real-time boxing experience except for his match against Tyson Fury, during his tenure with UFC and 100% Fight earlier, he built a formidable reputation as one of the planet&#8217;s foremost punchers.

REACH:Â 83&#8243; STANCE:Â Orthodox DOB:Â Sep 05, 1986 In boxing, Ngannou&#8217;s record reads, one fight, one loss. In UFC, it reads 14 fights, 12 wins, and two defeats. Eleven of his 12 victories came via TKO/KO/Submission, and his only defeats came through decisions. Francis Ngannou: Fighting Style Francis is predominantly a striker. He is perhaps one of the best boxers in the heavyweight division. Recently, he has also incorporated leg kicks in his game. He can chase the finish and counter his opponents comfortably. It is noteworthy that Ngannou is the hardest puncher in the UFC. Francis Ngannou: Achievements The fighter holds a stellar record ofÂ 17-3-0 in his MMA career and 0-1 in his boxing career. Ngannou has won five Performance of the Night bonuses against Anthony Hamilton, Andrei Arlovski, Curtis Blaydes, and Junior dos Santos. Ngannou&#8217;s knockout against Alistair Overeem earnedÂ him the Knockout of the Year Award. Francis Ngannou&#8217;s car collection and other luxuries For a sports celebrity with a net worth of $5 million, Francis Ngannou must have an enviable collection of automobiles in his garage. However, according to the website 21 Motoring, the jewels of his garage include the following: Rolls Royce Phantom VII: With a price tag of around $450,000, this luxury model&#8217;s 6.75-liter V12 engine produces 453 horsepower.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Kylian Mbappe: Net Worth 2024, Personal Life, Career, and Achievements</h2>
<strong>Kylian Mbappe</strong>, the French star striker of <strong>Real Madrid</strong>, has caught the soccer world's attention with his exceptional performances and accolades. At the age of just 24, Mbappe has gone from being a wonder kid in France to a FIFA World Cup Champion. Deemed as one of the best soccer players, Mbappe already has the world at his feet at such a young age.

In December 2022, the wonder-striker narrowly missed the chance of winning the soccer World Cup for the second time in a row. In the 2024 Euro, however, France, led by Kylian MbappÃ©, reached the semifinal but lost to Spain 2-1. MbappÃ© was a key player throughout the tournament, earning praise for his performances.

As of August 2024, Kylian MbappÃ© has made a high-profile move to Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain, with a transfer fee of around $195 million. Since joining, MbappÃ© has been making a significant impact, scoring in key matches so far.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Kylian Mbappeâ€™s net worth 2024, salary and endorsements</strong></h2>
Kylian MbappÃ© is set to earn a staggering $32,3000 per week, and thatâ€™s before taxes, which will be handled in Spain. His annual salary after taxes will come out to $16.5 million. Additionally, he's in line for a hefty signing bonus, though the exact figure is still up for debate. Reports vary, with Sky Sports suggesting heâ€™ll pocket $110 million, while the BBC estimates a more substantial $165 million. Interestingly, this represents a bit of a pay cut compared to his previous deal with Paris Saint-Germain.

At PSG, Kylian Mbappe's net worth was estimated to be around $180 Million. Shockingly, he made much more than even <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lionel-messi/">Lionel Messi</a>, as per the 2022 estimates. Forbes even counted Mbappe as the 4th highest-paid athlete in the world in 2023.

For the 2022-23 season, he earned $76 Million simply through his PSG salary. A significant contributor to his ever-growing wealth has been endorsements which have brought him approximately $45 Million in the past year.

Accounting for 19.56% of PSG's wage bill, the French striker has majorly endorsed Hublot, EA Sports, and Nike. Unlike <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/cristiano-ronaldo" target="_self" rel="noopener">Cristiano Ronaldo</a>Â andÂ Lionel Messi, he needs to still establish his brand value in the soccer universe to amplify his cheques.

Kylian MbappÃ©'s move to Real Madrid in 2024 has not only made headlines for its staggering financial terms but also spotlighted his lucrative endorsement deals. At Madrid, MbappÃ© is expected to continue his high-profile partnerships with major brands such as Nike, Hublot, and EA Sports, among others. These endorsements are anticipated to bring in significant income, complementing his already massive salary package at the club.

Beyond his football salary, MbappÃ©'s endorsement deals are likely to be even more lucrative, as Real Madrid's global visibility offers a platform unmatched by his previous club, PSG. This visibility is expected to attract new sponsorships and increase the value of his existing deals, ensuring that MbappÃ© remains one of the highest-earning athletes globally, both on and off the pitch. His image rights deal with Real Madrid, where he retains 80% of his rights, further solidifies his financial future as a marketing icon.

Moreover, Real Madridâ€™s brand power will undoubtedly amplify MbappÃ©'s marketability, potentially leading to more collaborations with global companies.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Kylian Mbappe's club career</strong></h2>
After the age of 14, Mbappe signed for AS Monaco. Months before that, massive soccer clubs like Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Chelsea were very eager for his signature. However, he signed for AS Monaco and started off his journey with the club's U19 team. Just before his 17 birthday, the super striker made his senior debut for the club.

At that time, he broke MLS legend Thierry Henry's record and became the youngest-ever player to feature on the senior team. During his inaugural season in 2015-16, he only managed to score one goal. Apart from that, he also didn't get enough time on the pitch. But that was not the case for long.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">

Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe: Net Worth 2024, Personal Life, Career, and Achievements Kylian Mbappe, the French star striker of Real Madrid, has caught the soccer world&#8217;s attention with his exceptional performances and accolades. At the age of just 24, Mbappe has gone from being a wonder kid in France to a FIFA World Cup Champion. Deemed as one of the best soccer players, Mbappe already has the world at his feet at such a young age. In December 2022, the wonder-striker narrowly missed the chance of winning the soccer World Cup for the second time in a row. In the 2024 Euro, however, France, led by Kylian MbappÃ©, reached the semifinal but lost to Spain 2-1. MbappÃ© was a key player throughout the tournament, earning praise for his performances. As of August 2024, Kylian MbappÃ© has made a high-profile move to Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain, with a transfer fee of around $195 million. Since joining, MbappÃ© has been making a significant impact, scoring in key matches so far. Kylian Mbappeâ€™s net worth 2024, salary and endorsements Kylian MbappÃ© is set to earn a staggering $32,3000 per week, and thatâ€™s before taxes, which will be handled in Spain. His annual salary after taxes will come out to $16.5 million. Additionally, he&#8217;s in line for a hefty signing bonus, though the exact figure is still up for debate. Reports vary, with Sky Sports suggesting heâ€™ll pocket $110 million, while the BBC estimates a more substantial $165 million. Interestingly, this represents a bit of a pay cut compared to his previous deal with Paris Saint-Germain. At PSG, Kylian Mbappe&#8217;s net worth was estimated to be around $180 Million. Shockingly, he made much more than even Lionel Messi, as per the 2022 estimates. Forbes even counted Mbappe as the 4th highest-paid athlete in the world in 2023. For the 2022-23 season, he earned $76 Million simply through his PSG salary. A significant contributor to his ever-growing wealth has been endorsements which have brought him approximately $45 Million in the past year. Accounting for 19.56% of PSG&#8217;s wage bill, the French striker has majorly endorsed Hublot, EA Sports, and Nike. Unlike Cristiano RonaldoÂ andÂ Lionel Messi, he needs to still establish his brand value in the soccer universe to amplify his cheques. Kylian MbappÃ©&#8217;s move to Real Madrid in 2024 has not only made headlines for its staggering financial terms but also spotlighted his lucrative endorsement deals. At Madrid, MbappÃ© is expected to continue his high-profile partnerships with major brands such as Nike, Hublot, and EA Sports, among others. These endorsements are anticipated to bring in significant income, complementing his already massive salary package at the club. Beyond his football salary, MbappÃ©&#8217;s endorsement deals are likely to be even more lucrative, as Real Madrid&#8217;s global visibility offers a platform unmatched by his previous club, PSG. This visibility is expected to attract new sponsorships and increase the value of his existing deals, ensuring that MbappÃ© remains one of the highest-earning athletes globally, both on and off the pitch. His image rights deal with Real Madrid, where he retains 80% of his rights, further solidifies his financial future as a marketing icon. Moreover, Real Madridâ€™s brand power will undoubtedly amplify MbappÃ©&#8217;s marketability, potentially leading to more collaborations with global companies. Kylian Mbappe&#8217;s club career After the age of 14, Mbappe signed for AS Monaco. Months before that, massive soccer clubs like Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Chelsea were very eager for his signature. However, he signed for AS Monaco and started off his journey with the club&#8217;s U19 team. Just before his 17 birthday, the super striker made his senior debut for the club. At that time, he broke MLS legend Thierry Henry&#8217;s record and became the youngest-ever player to feature on the senior team. During his inaugural season in 2015-16, he only managed to score one goal. Apart from that, he also didn&#8217;t get enough time on the pitch. But that was not the case for long.  via Reuters After consistently impressing during training, he finally got a run of games in the following season. Without a doubt, the rest is history. He banged in fifteen goals in the 2016-17 season. During that season, AS Monaco also won the Ligue 1 title. Young Mbappe impressed in the Champions League too.

Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson&#8217;s Net Worth 2024, Salary, Partner, Family, and More Who is Mike Tyson? Michael Gerard Tyson, widely known as Mike Tyson, is an American former professional boxer, often celebrated as one of the most fearsome fighters in heavyweight boxing history. Nicknamed &#8220;Iron Mike&#8221; for his raw power and aggressive style, Tyson dominated the boxing world in the 1980s and became the youngest heavyweight champion at the age of 20. His terrifying persona and unpredictable temperament led him to be known as &#8220;The Baddest Man on the Planet.&#8221; Tyson&#8217;s career, spanning from 1985 to 2005, is marked by both astonishing victories and deeply controversial moments, such as his infamous 1997 &#8220;Bite Fight&#8221; against Evander Holyfield. At the height of his boxing fame, he was one of the wealthiest athletes in the world.

Raised in a tough Brooklyn neighborhood, he encountered challenges that shaped his life both inside and outside the ring. Tyson’s explosive fighting style, grounded in his legendary “Peek-a-Boo” defense technique, made him an intimidating presence, often winning fights by knockout in the early rounds. Despite his achievements, his life has also been marked by legal issues, financial troubles, and personal struggles, making his story one of resilience, reinvention, and redemption. Mike Tyson’s Early Life Born on June 30, 1966, in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, New York, Mike Tyson&#8217;s early life was fraught with difficulties. His father, Purcell Tyson, abandoned the family when Mike was young, leaving his mother, Lorna Smith, to raise him and his two siblings, Rodney and Denise, on her own. Tyson’s early childhood was shaped by the challenges of growing up in a crime-heavy neighborhood, often witnessing violence and poverty. Frequent moves and financial instability left Tyson with a chaotic and troubled upbringing. By age ten, Tyson had moved with his family to Brownsville, Brooklyn, known as one of the most dangerous areas in New York City. Tyson&#8217;s aggressive streak became apparent early on, and he quickly earned a reputation as a fierce street fighter. By age 13, he had been arrested 38 times for petty crimes, many related to his involvement in local gangs. Tyson’s life took a positive turn when he was placed in the Tryon School for Boys, a juvenile detention center in Johnstown, New York. There, a counselor named Bobby Stewart, who was also an amateur boxing champion, noticed Tyson’s potential. Stewart introduced Tyson to legendary boxing trainer Cus D&#8217;Amato, who became a father figure to the young fighter and took him under his wing. D&#8217;Amato saw raw talent in Tyson and believed he had the potential to become the heavyweight champion of the world. The trainer&#8217;s guidance and discipline laid the foundation for Tyson’s future boxing career and eventual stardom. Image Credits &#8211; Cus D&#8217;Amato Boxing Club (Instagram) Mike Tyson’s Wife, Kids and Former Partners The 58-year-old has been married three times and is the father of seven children, including the late Exodus Tyson, who tragically passed away in 2009. His first marriage was to actress Robin Givens in 1988. The relationship quickly became troubled, with allegations of domestic abuse and erratic behavior leading to a highly publicized divorce in 1989. Givens described Tyson as volatile and abusive, and their split was covered extensively by the media, adding fuel to Tyson’s image as a controversial figure. Tyson’s second marriage was to pediatrician Monica Turner, whom he married in 1997. The couple had two children, Amir and Rayna, but divorced in 2003 due to Tyson’s infidelity. Despite the split, Turner has spoken positively about Tyson’s role as a father. In 2009, Tyson married Lakiha &#8220;Kiki&#8221; Spicer, and they have two children together, Morocco and Milan. Spicer has been a steady influence in Tyson’s life, helping him through personal and financial hardships. Press conference film Bunny-Man.

Turin, Italy 07 February 2024, PUBLICATIONxNOTxINxUKxFRAxUSA Copyright: xGiulioxLaponexSyncx/xAvalonx 0844275651 In addition to his marriages, Tyson has had relationships with several women, including Kimberly Scarborough, with whom he has a daughter named Mikey Lorna Tyson. His relationship with Sol Xochitl produced two children, Miguel Leon Tyson and Exodus Tyson. Tragically, Exodus passed away at the age of four in 2009 after a tragic accident involving a treadmill cord. This incident deeply affected Tyson, marking one of the most sorrowful moments in his life. Mike Tyson’s Net Worth 2024 As of 2024, Mike Tyson’s net worth is estimated at $10 million. Tyson’s earnings from boxing were once astronomical, reaching an estimated $400 million in total. During his peak, he was among the wealthiest athletes globally, raking in millions from fights and endorsements. However, extravagant spending, legal issues, and poor financial management led Tyson to declare bankruptcy in 2003. He reportedly owed nearly $23 million to various creditors, including the IRS, after years of high living and costly lawsuits.

(Photo by Focus on Sport/Gettty Images) Since then, Tyson has rebuilt his wealth through a mix of business ventures, endorsements, and public appearances. His 2020 exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. drew significant pay-per-view sales, bringing in around $80 million. Tyson also launched his cannabis brand, Tyson 2.0, which has become one of his most lucrative ventures, generating roughly $900,000 monthly. This, combined with endorsements and his podcast Hotboxin&#8217; with Mike Tyson, has allowed him to stabilize his financial status and regain some of his wealth.

This victory made him the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history at the age of 20 years and 4 months. 1987: Tyson unified the heavyweight division, winning the WBA and IBF titles and becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

Tyson&#8217;s defeat to Douglas remains one of the most shocking moments in boxing history. 1992-1995: Tyson was convicted of assaulting model Desiree Washington in 1992 and sentenced to six years in prison. He served three years before being released in 1995.  1996: Tyson reclaimed the WBC and WBA heavyweight titles in his comeback, defeating Frank Bruno and Bruce Seldon. Later that year, he faced Evander Holyfield, losing by TKO in the 11th round. 1997: Tyson’s rematch with Holyfield became infamous as the &#8220;Bite Fight.&#8221; Tyson was disqualified for biting Holyfield’s ear, resulting in the Nevada State Athletic Commission revoking his boxing license and fining him $3 million. 2002: On June 8 in Memphis, Tennessee, Mike Tyson fought Lennox Lewis in a heavyweight title bout that drew 1.95 million pay-per-view buys, ranking among the era&#8217;s highest-grossing events. Lewis leveraged his 84-inch reach and technical skill, dominating the match and knocking out Tyson in the eighth round to retain his WBC, IBF, and IBO titles. This marked Tyson’s final bid for a heavyweight title, solidifying Lewis&#8217;s legacy while concluding a significant chapter in Tyson&#8217;s career. 2005: After consecutive losses, Tyson retired from professional boxing. His last match was against Kevin McBride, where he retired in the sixth round. 2020: Tyson returned to the ring for an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. Despite ending in a draw, the match drew immense viewership, reflecting Tyson’s enduring popularity.

In his early career, Tyson endorsed Pepsi, Nintendo, and Toyota. In recent years, Tyson has endorsed Black Energy Drink, CopperGel, and Smart Cups. He also has partnerships with Futurola, a company offering premium smoking accessories like pre-rolls and cones, and Zumiez, a fashion brand. Tyson’s influence expanded with his Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast, where he interviews celebrities and athletes. His brand, Tyson Pro, offers performance athletic gear, while the MT Collection includes official Tyson merchandise. These partnerships underscore Tyson’s influence in various industries, from sportswear to lifestyle products. There is another partnership that Mike Tyson had. This was with legendary boxing promoter, Don King. Don King became involved with Tyson around the time Tyson became the undisputed heavyweight champion in 1987. Tyson was initially managed by Cus D&#8217;Amato and then later by Jim Jacobs and Bill Cayton. After the death of Jacobs in 1988, Don King moved in as a mentor and promoter, positioning himself as a father figure for Tyson. King saw an opportunity in Tyson&#8217;s rising stardom and quickly became his promoter. King promised Tyson greater control over his career and higher earnings. Tyson, drawn by King&#8217;s charismatic presence and promises, eventually parted ways with Cayton, putting his career in King’s hands.

During their partnership, King arranged some of the highest-grossing fights of Tyson’s career, including bouts against Frank Bruno and Evander Holyfield. Under King’s guidance, Tyson achieved extraordinary fame and wealth, with King reportedly taking a significant percentage of Tyson’s fight earnings. Despite this, Tyson trusted King during these peak years, relying on him as both a promoter and confidant. The relationship began to deteriorate in the early 1990s, especially after Tyson was convicted and imprisoned for assault in 1992. Upon his release in 1995, Tyson’s suspicions about King’s management practices grew. Tyson eventually accused King of exploiting him financially, alleging that King had taken millions from his earnings and engaged in unethical practices. In 1998, Tyson filed a $100 million lawsuit against King, claiming financial exploitation and breach of trust. The suit was settled out of court for a reported $14 million, but Tyson severed ties with King permanently, referring to him in later years as &#8220;ruthless&#8221; and &#8220;deceptive&#8221;. Mike Tyson’s Investments Mike Tyson&#8217;s most profitable investment is in the cannabis industry, where he launched Tyson 2.0, his cannabis brand. His unique product, “Mike Bites,” cannabis edibles shaped like an ear, references the infamous “Bite Fight” with Holyfield. Tyson 2.0 has proven to be financially successful, generating roughly $900,000 monthly. Today, the brand is worth more than $16 million. The brand expanded to include a line called “Holy Bites” in partnership with Evander Holyfield. Tyson 2.0 also partnered with Ric Flair’s “Ric Flair Drip” brand, increasing its market reach and appeal.

This venture is part of his broader involvement in the wellness and lifestyle sectors, aimed at normalizing cannabis use and reducing the stigma around it.

(Photo by Shareif Ziyadat/Getty Images) Tyson’s aggressive “Peek-a-Boo” fighting style was central to his dominance. The technique, taught to him by Cus D’Amato, involved holding his gloves close to his face and constantly bobbing and weaving to evade opponents’ punches. This allowed Tyson to close in on his opponents and deliver devastating knockout punches, often ending fights early. Mike Tyson’s Charity and Foundation Mike Tyson has contributed to several charitable causes over the years, including his own Mike Tyson Cares Foundation, which provides support for at-risk youth. The foundation’s initiatives focus on healthcare, education, and housing, providing a safe environment for children from troubled backgrounds. Tyson has also participated in various events and made donations to support different causes, reflecting his desire to give back to the community despite his turbulent past. Mike Tyson’s House Mike Tyson currently resides in Henderson, Nevada, a suburban area near Las Vegas. His residence is considerably more modest than the luxurious mansions he owned during his prime. Tyson previously owned a mansion in Connecticut that included a nightclub, casino, and indoor pool, among other extravagant features. He also owned properties in Ohio, Maryland, and Nevada.
