TYSON FURY wants to become the world's highest-paid sports star after signing a deal in Saudi Arabia "that blows Cristiano Ronaldo's and Neymar's out the water".<\/p>\n
The WBC heavyweight world champion returns to the ring on October 28 in Saudi against Francis Ngannou. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And Ronaldo and Neymar could both be there to see it as their careers are now based in the Middle East. <\/p>\n
Both traded top-flight European football after being prised over to the Saudi Super League. <\/p>\n
But unbeaten Fury claimed their wages are nothing compared to what he has coming his way. <\/p>\n
In an exclusive interview with SunSport, he said: "They're paying big money, everything they get involved in is big.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"And I believe I've just done the biggest boxing deal ever to be done in the history of boxing with them.<\/p>\n
"I'm not at liability to talk about numbers but let's just say the bag is big, mighty f***ing big. But will it change me? Not really. <\/p>\n
"Still got the Crocs and the packed lunches from Asda, not too shabby mush!"<\/p>\n
Asked if it was just a one-fight deal, Fury, 35, replied: "Can't say but it's the biggest boxing deal ever done in history. <\/p>\n

Big, big, big."<\/p>\n Ronaldo, 38, was the first to make the controversial move after joining Al-Nassr when he left Manchester United. <\/p>\n He is believed to be on a \u00a33.3million-per-WEEK contract which equates to \u00a3173MILLION<\/strong> yearly. <\/p>\n It saw Ronaldo top Forbes' list of highest-paid athletes in 2023, with boxer Canelo Alvarez, 33, fifth on the list with \u00a388.7m banked. <\/p>\n Neymar, 31, walked out on PSG in the summer for Al-Hilal and is said to be on wages of around \u00a32.5m-a-week. <\/p>\n Fury boxed just twice last year, stopping Dillian Whyte, 35, and Derek Chisora, 39, and it saw him slip outside Forbes' top 50 list. <\/p>\n But in 2022, he was placed in 15th after making \u00a350m. <\/p>\n All these big football deals, Ronaldo and Neymar and whoever else they're trying to deal with, blows all that out of the water.<\/p>\n Fury welcomes former UFC champ Ngannou, 37, over to the boxing ring for their crossover clash in Riyadh. <\/p>\n It gives him little time to welcome his seventh child into the world with wife Paris. <\/p>\n Fury has won every belt there is in boxing and insisted unifying all four against rival Oleksandr Usyk, 36, is of no interest to him. <\/p>\n Instead, he wants to top Forbes' sports rich list like UFC legend Conor McGregor did in 2021 and boasted he is a year or two away from it. <\/p>\n Fury said: "I wanna top the Forbes list. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n "And I'll probably do that this year, or next year. Sports' No1 earner of all sports, that's me. That's the only thing I want to do.<\/p>\n "Conor did well out of his career, earned a lot of money fair play to the man, and I want to top that sports list as well now."<\/p>\nRing Magazine’s top 10 heavyweight boxers leaves fans confused over No1<\/h3>\n
