The unaudited abridged accounts for the former two-time heavyweight champion's 'Tyson Fury Ltd' company up until last September were recently published on Companies House.
And it shows that the Gypsy King's self-named company is worth a whopping £186million.
A staggering £176,691,66 of that figure is made up of investments, with £7,512,199 consisting of cash at the bank and in hand.
The remainder is made up of stocks and debtors.

TRIL SEEKER Fury announces trilogy fight with Usyk at Wembley in shock retirement U-turn
The value of Fury's company is likely considerably higher given the fact that the accounts were filed before his multi-million-pound rematch with Oleksandr Usyk last December.
SunSport understands Fury pocketed upwards of £80m for his first defeat to the pound-for-pound king last May.
His purse for the Riyadh rematch is understood to have been less than that figure, but still large enough to exponentially increase the value of his company.
Another cash injection could soon be on the way as Fury has seemingly performed a U-turn on his fifth retirement from boxing.

On Thursday, he posted a photo of himself in action against Usyk to his Instagram story with the caption: "April 18 2026, Wembley Stadium. The trilogy!"
His post came hours after he told the media in Turkey:" I want my revenge (on Usyk) in England. That's all I want, a fair shout.

"And I don't believe I've got a fair shout the last two times.
"That's the one I want but if I don't get that then it will be [Anthony] Joshua, the biggest British fight that will ever happen.
"It would break all records and sell out 100,000 at Wembley in an hour.
"It's a fight that I think can happen for sure if I decide to come back and the deal's right."

Lucky Scots collector finds UK's most valuable trading card EVER worth £100,000 – could you have one?
The card is now being held securely at the UK Grading lab DREAM PULL Lucky Scots collector finds UK's most valuable trading card EVER worth £100,000 – could you have one? A LUCKY Scots collector has managed to pocket the UK's most valuable trading card ever, with experts estimating it's worth a whopping £100,000. Ryan Gordon, from Aberdeen, opened up his very first pack of Topps Inception collector's cards only to find a one-of-a-kind autographed rookie card featuring FC Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal. 2 The one-of-a-kind Lamine Yamal card is worth an estimated £100,000 Credit: MGC 2 Topps Inception is renowned for its limited-edition sports cards Credit: Topps This coveted pull is a rookie autograph card which means it's from Yamal's first official year in professional football and bears his genuine signature. Topps Inception is renowned for its limited-edition sports cards. The card was submitted to Majesty Grading Company (MGC), a prominent UK-based card grading service, where it achieved a perfect 10 grade. Upon discovering the "once-in-a-generation card", the firm's director, Jake Kirkham, took a 16-hour round-trip to collect the card. He told the Collector Club: "When we heard about the 1/1 Lamine Yamal rookie autograph, we knew it was a once-in-a-generation card. "I personally took a 16-hour round trip train journey to Aberdeen to collect it because at Majesty Grading Company, we don't just grade cards, we go the extra mile for customers!" Jake added: "It's now officially the most expensive card ever graded by a UK grading company. "It's a milestone moment for the UK sports card community and proof that collectors no longer need to send their high-end cards abroad for world-class card grading. "MGC is raising the bar for UK card grading, authentication, and collector trust… We're just getting started." While the current valuation exceeds £100,000, similar Lamine Yamal cards have already raked in prices of up to $395,000 (just shy of £300,000) in the United States.

It is now being held securely at MGC's UK Grading lab. Given Yamal's footie success, which includes the young Spaniard, 17, winning Euro 2024 with Spain and lifting the La Liga title with Barcelona last season, his market value in the card trading sphere is expected to continue soaring. Reflecting on his life-changing find, Ryan said: 'At the time of pulling the card, I was in complete shock, I wasn't sure if my eyes were playing tricks with me. I also didn't know how big the card was as it was my first ever box I had opened. I can't thank MGC enough for their help, they've been amazing!'

Cameron Norrie reaches fourth round at Wimbledon
Cameron Norrie kept the British flag flying in the Wimbledon men's draw by brushing aside Italian world number 73 Mattia Bellucci to reach round four. Jack Draper's surprise second-round loss on Thursday to former finalist Marin Cilic left Norrie as the last British man standing in SW19. To the delight of the Court One crowd, the 2022 semi-finalist delivered, recovering from a slow start to win 7-6 (5) 6-4 6-3. Norrie will taken on either Brazilian teenage sensation Joao Fonseca or Chilean qualifier Nicolas Jarry next, with two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz a potential quarter-final opponent. The 29-year-old has dipped below the radar since his exploits of three years ago, plummeting from a career-high ranking of eighth to 61st – via a spell at 91st – and slipping below Draper and Jacob Fearnley in the British pecking order. He gave a reminder of his talents by sweeping past 12th seed Frances Tiafoe in round two and this – on paper, at least – looked to be a more straightforward assignment. Yet Norrie was on the backfoot in the early stages against a fellow left-hander who scalped Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas early this year and came out all guns blazing. Bellucci broke to love in the opening game and then fought back from 40-0 down to hold in game two, while his 16 first-set winners included an outrageous forehand around the side of the net off the Briton's serve. PA Media Cameron Norrie is through to the fourth round at Wimbledon for a second time (Andrew Matthews/PA) PA Media Norrie eventually broke to love to level at 4-4 before a stunning backhand helped settle a tense tie-break in his favour. Bellucci took a set off Draper in the first round of this year's French Open before fading. Following his bright start, the 24-year-old looked set to suffer a similar fate after failing to hold at the start of the second set but he soon broke back from 40-0 down. However, Norrie regained the initiative in game seven before sealing the set with an ace and then easing through the decider to progress in two hours and 28 minutes.

Forgotten Scottish Wimbledon Champion who died in tragic bike crash
Andy Murray ended Britain's 77-year wait for a Wimbledon men's champion with his wins in 2013 and 2016 - becoming the first Scottish man to win it since 1896. As this year's Wimbledon unfolds without Andy Murray in the draw for the first time since his retirement, fans at SW19 have kept his legacy alive in their own way, some jokers in the crowd have been heard shouting 'Come on Andy!' during matches, raising a few nostalgic smiles. Murray, of course, remains a national hero, having famously won the Wimbledon men's singles title twice, in 2013 and 2016, breaking an almost 80-year drought for British champions that stretched back to Fred Perry's 1936 triumph. But what many don't realise is that the Dunblane-born star was also the first Scottish-born men's champion since Harold Mahony in 1896, a figure largely forgotten today but once a towering presence in Victorian tennis, both figuratively and literally, Scottish Daily Express reports. Born in Edinburgh's Charlotte Square, Mahony hailed from an Irish family based at Dromore Castle in County Kerry. His father, a wealthy landowner and barrister, had private tennis courts built on the castle grounds to nurture his son's talent. The 6ft 3in Mahony had a long reach and a 'spiteful backhand', qualities that made him a fearsome competitor in an era of wooden rackets and gentlemanly play. He reached the Wimbledon semi-finals in 1891 before sailing to the United States to further develop his game, an early forerunner of modern training stints in Florida, and returned five years later to seize the championship title in 1896. In the final, then known as the challenge round, Mahony defeated reigning champion Wilfred Baddeley in a gruelling five-set battle: 6-2, 6-8, 5-7, 8-6, 6-3. The match stretched across 57 games, a Wimbledon final record that would stand until 1954, when Jaroslav Drobny overcame Ken Rosewall in 58. Although Mahony also took home a silver medal at the 1900 Olympic Games, his Wimbledon win remained the peak of his career. Yet he was adored by fans, with The Independent describing him as having a 'casual and irresponsible attitude' and a 'generous heart'. A talented musician and something of a ladies' man, Mahony was in demand for personal tennis coaching at country houses throughout Britain. It's also believed he may have been romantically involved with Charlotte 'Lottie' Dod, the greatest female tennis player of her time. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Dod won her first Wimbledon ladies' title in 1887 at just 15 years old and claimed five in total. By 1891, Mahony was staying at the Cheshire home of Dod and her widowed mother, as recorded in that year's census. She was also known to holiday in Scotland, fuelling speculation about their close bond. Tragically, Mahony's life was cut short on 27 June 1905 in a bicycle accident near his family home in Kerry. A newspaper report from the time reads: 'He was descending a steep hill near Caragh Lake, Co. Kerry, lost control of his machine, and was thrown heavily to the ground, sustaining fatal injuries.' As The Independent poignantly noted, 'His body was found, alongside his broken bike... And Lottie Dod? She never married.'
