CAIRO, Dec.1 (SEE)- Only one of Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury will leave the Staples Center on Saturday night as the WBC heavyweight champion, but regardless of result, both will be much, much richer. Fury However plans to spend a big amount of the prize money on charity.

It’s understood that American Wilder stands to make $14m (£10.9m) from the fight against Fury, who himself will land an estimated $10m (£7.8m) for one night’s work in Los Angeles. The self-proclaimed ‘Gypsy King’ has previous for using his fight earnings to give to charity and help those not as well off, and his plans after this fight will be no different. Fury announced“When I go home I’m going to build some homes for the homeless and set up some funds for drug addicts and alcoholics,” said Fury, drawing on his own recent experiences as reason for doing so.

Fury replied on his decision to have the match take place in the United States“I was always going to do it but being here (in California) gives me that extra push to go and do it even more, “It has really opened my eyes to a lot of things and I’m leaving as a better person, “It’s opened my eyes to see so many different cultures, so many different things happening and going on.”
