In completely unexpected news on Monday, former unified heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (27-0-1, 19 KOs) confirmed in a press conference that he has signed a multi-fight deal to be co-promoted by Top Rank Boxing. He also renewed his contract to have his bouts shown in the United Kingdom on BT Sport.
Fury’s primary promoter is Frank Warren, whose Queensberry Promotions already has a close relationship with Top Rank to broadcast his events on ESPN+.
According to the BBC, it is a five-fight contract, and while financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, British media has widely reported that it’s worth £80 million, which is approximately $103 million US dollars based on current currency exchange rates.
