TYSON FURY could be set for a record-breaking set of paydays after landing blockbuster bouts in Saudi Arabia.
Firstly, Fury returns on October 28 in Riyadh against ex-champion Francis Ngannou in a huge crossover clash.
But before he even welcomes the MMA star to the ring, it has been revealed Fury and Oleksandr Usyk have signed for a super-fight.
The deal is believed to include two bouts in Saudi, meaning the Gypsy King looks on course for a trio of mega-money nights in the Middle East.
And his US promoter Bob Arum claimed all his business with the Saudis could bank him $200MILLION (£165m).
Arum told Boxing News: "We're looking for this whole package, there's other stuff involved that I really believe that at the end of the day, before the end of June, Fury will be reaching close to $200million."
The potential three-fight package would be a record-breaking deal for a British fighter.
Anthony Joshua, 33, is believed to have earned around £60m in Diriyah when he beat Andy Ruiz Jr, 34, in their 2019 rematch.
And when he landed in Jeddah for his second bout with Usyk, 36, in August 2022, some reports claim he made 50 per cent of the £65m shared fee.
Derek Chisora, who has worked with Saudi boxing bosses before, claimed Fury, 35, is earning $50m (£41m) to fight Ngannou, 37.
