Twenty-five boxers have held all of the heavyweight titles at once and the first ever undisputed heavyweight champion was Jack Dempsey in 1922. Dempsey's reign lasted four years before Gene Tunney took the title and it changed hands many times over the next two decades.
Fury could claim up to £80m for fighting Usyk - regardless of the result. However, he might not see all of that. Fury will have to pay a considerable amount of income tax and national insurance on that pay packet.
There is a new undisputed champion in the sport of boxing after Oleksandr Usyk beat Tyson Fury on May 18 to claim all four world title belts at heavyweight.
Some of boxing's greatest ever have been undisputed heavyweight champions during their career and now Oleksandr Usyk is the latest. Iconic fighters like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson achieved the feat while Sonny Liston, George Foreman and Evander Holyfield have also held all the titles at once.
Only nine men have held all four versions of the belts at the same time, three of whom have been the only male boxers to have done so in two divisions. Bernard Hopkins unified all four middleweight titles in September 2004. Jermain Taylor won all four middleweight titles from Hopkins in July 2005.
As an amateur boxer, Usyk won heavyweight gold medals at the 2011 World Championships and 2012 Olympics while accumulating a record of 335 wins and 15 losses. He turned professional in 2013, winning his first world title in 2016.

Fresh off his victory over the previously undefeated Tyson Fury on May 18, the Ring Ratings Panel unanimously voted to elevate Oleksandr Usyk to the number one spot on the magazine's pound-for-pound list. The Ukrainian's resume was already first ballot Hall of Fame-worthy prior to the Fury bout.
In March 1987, Tyson added the WBA heavyweight championship to his résumé after defeating James Smith. Only five months later, Tyson became the undisputed heavyweight champion after capturing the IBF heavyweight championship from Tony Tucker in a twelve-round unanimous decision.
Rocky Marciano (born September 1, 1923, Brockton, Massachusetts, U.S.—died August 31, 1969, near Newton, Iowa) was the world heavyweight boxing champion from September 23, 1952, when he knocked out champion Jersey Joe Walcott in 13 rounds in Philadelphia, to April 27, 1956, when he retired from the ring.
An undisputed champion is a fighter who holds all four major championship belts (IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO). Since the four-belt era began in 2004, there had not been an undisputed heavyweight champion at the time of writing.
