By decision of the WBC, the winner of the heavyweight championship fight between Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) and Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs) will receive a special financial bonus.

To organize this fight, a tender was held yesterday, which was won by Frank Warren, the promoter of the "King of the Gypsies", with an amount of $ 41 million. Since the winning bet is to be split 80-20 in favor of the champion, theoretically Fury should get 32.8 million and White 8.2. However, this will not happen, as the WBC will take 10% of the entire application towards a special bonus for the winner of the fight.

This means that Fury and White are currently guaranteed payouts of 29.5 and 7.3 million, respectively, and if they win, they will earn 33.6 and 11.4 million, respectively.
