The net worths of Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have been compared.
It was announced earlier this week that Fury would be coming out of retirement and returning to the boxing ring in 2026.
Turki Alalshikh revealed on Twitter that he had held talks with 'The Gypsy King', who quit boxing in December after a second loss to Oleksandr Usyk, over his in-ring comeback.

The Saudi boxing chief did not allude to a specific opponent, instead stating he 'had his [Fury's] word to have him in Riyadh Season in 2026'.
The Morecambe-based man didn't officially announce his comeback on social media, but did post a bizarre video instead.
In the video, he is holding an nude adult doll that has a cutout of Usyk's head on it, and says he is planning for an April 2026 bout.
His return announcement wasn't a major shock as, at an IBA press conference in Istanbul earlier in the week, Fury stated: "If I was gonna come back, I'd come back for Usyk. But I want a fair result in England. If I don't get that [fight] then it will be [Anthony] Joshua, the biggest British boxing fight that will ever happen."

On Wednesday, finance expert Kieran Maguire noted that Fury's comeback to boxing clearly isn't for the money, posting the official accounts for his business.
The accounts, which are available to view on Companies House, show that Tyson Fury Limited turned a profit of £79 million between September 2023 and 2024, and has total assets of just under £160 million.
Joshua's net worth is even higher than that of his British rival.

According to The Sunday Times Rich List 2025, the 35-year-old Watford-born boxer has a total net worth of £195 million, up £25 million from the previous year.
Joshua is the 24th-richest person under the age of 40, and the second-richest British sports star in that category, behind golf's Rory McIlroy (£260m).
He hasn't stepped into the ring since September 2024, when he suffered his fourth career loss in unsuccessfully challenging for Daniel Dubois' IBF heavyweight crown.
