Fury was born into an Anglo-Irish traveller family, from a 200-year line of bare-knuckle fighters, hence his nickname "Gypsy King." English travellers, also referred to as "gypsies," live on the road in caravans and temporarily on campsites, Business Insider's Alan Dawson reported.

$10-50k for regional/national titles, and probably $500-2000 (each) for your first 10 fights. If you're a big name coming out of the Olympics, you get more. If you're a nobody with tons of losses, you get just $500-1000 to lose.
Joshua has a net worth of $80 million, according to CelebrityNetWorth.com. He lands at No. 19 on Forbes' list of the world's highest-paid athletes, just behind Giannis Antetokounmpo and ahead of Deontay Wilder.
