TYSON FURY said Francis Ngannou is in line to earn 50 TIMES MORE than he has ever made for their fight.
The heavyweight stars of boxing and MMA are close to confirming their exhibition extravaganza.
Tyson Fury is set to fight ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou next
Francis Ngannou left the UFC to pursue boxing
It will be Ngannou’s first foray into boxing, which he paved the way for after leaving the UFC when his contract expired.
And Fury claimed it will prove to be a lucrative move as he compared what they will earn to fighters in the UFC.
He said on the Out of Interest Podcast: “(The purse is) private information, but let’s say it’s 10, 20, 30, f*****g 50 times the amount.”
Ngannou, 36, earned just £440,000 in his final UFC fight, but would have made in pay-per-view bonuses.
Whereas Fury, 34, was paid over £20MILLION for his trilogy bout win over Deontay Wilder, 37, in October 2021.
The Gypsy King failed in talks to face Oleksandr Usyk this year, which for the first time ever would have seen all four heavyweight belts at stake.
Now Usyk, 36, defends his unified WBA, IBF and WBO belts against Daniel Dubois, 25, on August 26 in Poland.
And Anthony Joshua, 33, returns in a rematch with Dillian Whyte, 35, on August 12 and has a Wilder super-fight in Saudi Arabia lined up afterwards.
So it has left Fury somewhat in the lurch and forced to turn his attention to Ngannou.
They are also lined up for a Saudi showdown, believed to be an exhibition without the WBC title on the line.
And breaking his silence, Fury confirmed talks have been ongoing.
He said: “There’s been a lot of talk of me and Ngannou fighting each other, and he wants to come to boxing, he wanted to fight me.
“He’s been talking a lot of stuff on Instagram, wants to fight. Was even at one of my last fights. Got in the ring, confronted me.
“There’s potential, potential. We’ve had a lot of offers come in from the Middle East at the moment to host that fight this summer.”
