Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder: who has the most luxurious lifestyle? The WBC heavyweight world champ shows off his Rolex, Ferrari GTC and sprawling mansion … but is The Bronze Bomber more baller?
After what seems like ages, the third and likely final fight between WBC heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder is finally set to take place on October 9, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
While their first fight ended in a split decision, their second fight was a lopsided win for Fury which is why Wilder was quick to ask for a trilogy. Fury, who’s also the lineal heavyweight champion with 21 knock-outs to his name, is looking to end the rivalry for good.

Net worths (Winner: Fury)
Fury is unbeaten in 30 fights and, as the champion, he’s always bound to take the larger share of the purse when it comes to title fights. Estimates peg the Gypsy King’s net worth at a whopping US$108-$116 million, according to The Independent, including endorsements.
Though Wilder is a ways away from reaching the champion’s financial level, he benefited handsomely from their second fight, pocketing a reported US$25 million for the rematch. This puts Wilder’s estimated net worth around US$40 million.

Cars (Winner: Wilder)
Wilder’s also a Rolls-Royce fan, as he owns a Cullinan with a bronze snakeskin finish worth US$366,000 and a Phantom on which he reportedly spent US$472,000.
Fury, for his part, is a bit more understated. He was recently seen washing his Land Rover Defender, which costs a relatively modest US$52,000. Fury was also recently quoted by British media as saying that while he used to live an extravagant lifestyle, he’s no longer interested in material possessions as of late. Still, he used to own a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Ferrari Enzo and also recently bought a Ferrari GTC that costs around US$340,000.

Houses (Winner: Wilder)
Wilder also has an edge when it comes to houses, at least in terms of cost. He lives in Alabama in the US in his gorgeous US$1.3 million, 5,600 sq ft home, which has four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
Fury isn’t exactly struggling by any means, but his house in the British seaside town of Morecambe costs almost just half of Wilder’s at a reported US$747,000. He enjoys it with his wife Paris and their six children.
Watches (Draw?)
Both men are watch connoisseurs, Wilder with some show-off ones like a diamond-encrusted Patek Philippe Nautilus (US$150,000) and Fury with a more understated 60th anniversary Rolex Day-Date 40 (around US$50,000) as his daily driver.
But the Gypsy King also owns a Richard Mille Felipe Massa that costs a whopping US$680,000, so he does know a thing or two about fine timepieces.
Just like in the boxing ring, each fighter has his advantages and disadvantages when it comes to living the life of luxury. One thing is for sure though – both of them definitely know how to spend their millions. And on October 9, we’ll know who has a couple more to spend.
