Who will win the world heavyweight title?

Tyson Fury

Oleksandr Usyk

Right before he took on Stephen Fulton in November 2021, the fighter was estimated to be worth $1.5 million. The number was seen coming majorly from his in-ring engagements, which are quite noteworthy. Before Fulton gave him his career’s only loss, Figueroa had defeated the likes of Luis Nery (2021), Damien Vasquez (2020), and Javier Nicolas Chacon (2019).

If his social media is to be based as a premise, the fighter lives a luxurious life. The feed boasts of expensive spending like luxury vacations and high-value cars like a Mercedes Benz. For his last fight against Mark Magsayo, he reportedly earned $500,000 in purse money. However, tonight as he takes on Magdaleno, he is slated to earn a bit more.
