    Tyson Fury vs Derek Chisora: How much are they getting paid for heavyweight title fight?

    Tyson Fury takes on Derek Chisora for the third time for the WBC world heavyweight championship at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. How much will each fighter earn from the bout?

    The Gypsy King has taken on Chisora twice before – the first time in a 2011 fight for the British and Commonwealth titles where Fury won by a substantial points victory.

    Three years later the pair fought again – that time Chisora was retired by his corner in the 10th round.

    Now a 38-year-old Chisora is having his third crack at the undefeated Fury, having lost three of his last four fights and suffered 12 defeats in a 45-bout career.

    Here’s how much both fighters will be paid for the clash.

    Fury vs Wilder: Purse

    Fury can demand an enormous sum of money for his fights, as one of the biggest names in boxing.

    SportsZion claims Fury will be getting a guaranteed purse of $25 million (£20million) on the night, along with an 80% PPV share. In turn, the fighter’s total purse amounted to $36.5 million (£29.75million).

    Meanwhile, Chisora will be getting a handsome payday, having taken on the bout after several other competitors were unable to make the December 3 fight.

    In October 2022 Fury revealed how much his opponent would be making on the night – £2million.

    When sarcastically offering to become Chisora’s manager, the 34-year-old said: “The man [Anthony Joshua] is a coward and I’m just going to keep torturing him, until he actually has the balls to fight.

    “Listen, you should let me manage you, I’m the man who has got you this two million quid, me, not AJ [Joshua] and I’ll do it for free. I won’t take a tenner off of you, because I like to help people out for nothing. Free of charge, for old time’s sake, let me manage you.”

    Tyson Fury: How much does he earn?

    The two-time world heavyweight champion earned £24,200 per second in his fight against Dillian Whyte at Wembley earlier this year, according to TalkSport.

    Then, Fury claimed the winner’s bonus, taking his total purse to £26.2 million.

  • Tyson Fury can’t resist poking fun at Anthony Joshua with Christmas cracker joke

    Fury appeared on Capital FM and was quick to poke fun in typical Fury fashion at his heavyweight rival in a trivial game.

    Tyson Fury can't resist poking fun at Anthony Joshua with Christmas cracker joke

    Tyson Fury couldn’t help but poke fun at fellow British heavyweight Anthony Joshua when appearing on Captial FM.

    The ‘Gypsy King’ is fresh off the back of defeating Dereck ‘War’ Chisora for the third time in his career, in a huge event at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

    Fury, 34, was defending his WBC and Lineal heavyweight titles on the night, as he scored a 10th round TKO over his former adversary.

    Whilst it was the battle-hardened Chisora who stepped in the ring with Fury, it could have been Joshua, given that was the original plan for the December 3rd date.

    Perhaps unsurprisingly, that fight fell out of bed for what seems like the 30th time, as fans had to begrudgingly settle for a one-sided beat down from the six foot nine champion.

    The year may nearly be over, but Fury couldn’t resist getting in one more jab (not literally) on his long-time British rival following his interview with radio station Captial FM.

    In a video where Fury was tasked with pulling a Christmas cracker and reading out a boxing-specific joke.

    He read out: “Why has Anthony Joshua never married?”

    Before answering: “Because he’s too scared of the ring! There we go guys!”

    The pair had signed on to an undisputed clash due in the summer of 2021, but the fight never went through as former Fury-foe Deontay Wilder took the champion to court over claims he was due a trilogy fight due to a stipulation in their contract.

    Fury then came through in a ‘Fight of the Year’ candidate to finally knock out the American, as AJ went onto face the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk twice.

    Joshua lost both by points decisions and lost his unified heavyweight titles, with the second bout landing in Saudi Arabia in August.

    It’s unclear when AJ will fight next, with promoter Eddie Hearn claiming he will return in the early part of 2023, but there’s no frontrunner as it stands.

    We could see him re-ignite his rivalry with Dillian Whyte, who himself came through a tough 12-round win over previously unbeaten Jermaine Franklin in late November.

    Whereas for Fury, all eyes are set on an undisputed clash against Usyk, with reports claiming it will land between late February and mid-March, most likely taking place in the Middle East.

    As far as a potential fight between AJ and Fury goes, it’s never out of the question given how big a fight it would be, not only for British boxing, but for the sport as a whole.

    AJ has to find a way to get back to winning ways and force himself back into contention, whilst Fury faces off against Usyk and potentially stablemate Joe Joyce in the summer, with a winter bout not fully out of the question.

    The former heavyweight champion wants to test out a new drug that ‘delivers DMT to drip to volunteers’ and lasts an hour.

    Mike Tyson dreams of being ‘guinea pig’ for psychedelic drug trial

    Mike Tyson has admitted to dreaming of being a guinea pig to trial a new psychedelic drug by the name of DMXT.

    The boxing legend hasn’t been shy about his passion for extra curricular substances, previously revealing ‘Toad Venom’ convinced to return to the ring in 2020, according to The Sun.

    The Baddest Man on the Planet retired from the sport of boxing in 2005, however, returned to fight Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition bout.

    Tyson says the hallucinogenic effects of the drug motivated him to get back into shape and step into the ring.

    Now, the former heavyweight champion wants to test out a new drug that ‘delivers DMT to drip to volunteers’ and lasts an hour.

    Speaking to British author Graham Hanock on Tyson’s podcast Hotboxin’ with Mike Tysonthe boxer revealed his passion for trying out the new psychedelic substance.

    He said: “It’s not been widely publicised yet but it’s called DMTX. As you know DMT is a quick journey, it’s 12, 15 minute journey. A rocket ship to the other side of reality.

    “They have found a technology to basically deliver DMT by drip to volunteers. And those volunteers are making extended journeys in the DMT realm.

    “They are coming back with the same observations. I want to do that one, the drip.”

    Hancock added: “It’s like they are mapping another world. It doesn’t wear off, it goes straight into the bloodstream and doesn’t wear off. And it lasts for about an hour.”

    DMT is a powerful hallucinogen similar to drugs such as LSD and psilocybin, and it is says to boost connectivity between different brain networks.

    Clearly keen to relive those effects for an hour, Tyson asked Hancock how he can get try out DMXT.

    Hancock responded: “You talk to Imperial college in London, I think they might be very interested in talking to you.”

    Tyson replied: “I could be one of those guinea pigs. I would love to be a guinea pig for that.”

    The 56-year-old has delved into the industry more and more recently.

    New: Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield have partnered up to create and deliver “Holy Ears,” edibles in the shape of an ear “If i was on cannabis, I wouldn’t have bit his ear,” Tyson said, referring to the 1997 fight when the boxer bit Holyfield’s ear

    Last month, he and Evander Holyfield launched their own brand of edibles shaped like an ear – in homage to the legendary boxers’ bitter rivalry.

    Tyson made headlines in 1997 after biting a piece of Holyfield’s ear off during their WBA heavyweight title fight.

    Time has healed all wounds, with the duo setting their differences several years ago. ‘Iron Mike’ has decided to use the incident to his and cannabis company Tyson 2.0’s benefit.

    Both men partnered to create ‘Holy Ears,’ THC and Delta-8 THC-infused edibles shaped like bitten ears.

  • Mike Tyson’s explosive meltdown prior to his highly memorable showdown against Razor Ruddock: Unleashing the Beast.

    Mike Tyson’s explosive meltdown prior to his highly memorable showdown against Razor Ruddock: Unleashing the Beast.

    In a press conference preceding his match against Razor Ruddock, boxing enthusiasts witnessed a glimpse of Mike Tyson’s intense mindset. Tyson, who ultimately lost his composure, emphasized his determination to conquer his opponent. His remarks during that time sparked considerable controversy, although Tyson addressed the situation in a subsequent interview. Furthermore, Tyson discussed the mentality that propelled him to become a world champion.

    In the buildup to his bout against Razor Ruddock, Mike Tyson displayed his extreme mindset. His shocking statement, “Razor Ruddock dies. If he doesn’t die, it doesn’t count,” garnered significant backlash. However, Tyson clarified that this was merely his “frame of mind” and “mentality” in the realm of fighting, asserting that he did not intend to offend anyone but rather conveyed his entire aura inside the ring.

    When questioned about whether he made those statements for publicity or to boast, Tyson denied such allegations and affirmed that his sentiments were genuinely heartfelt. Although his words generated controversy, they underscored his unwavering and focused approach to boxing. Regardless of individual opinions regarding his remarks, Tyson undeniably exemplifies a committed fighter who tackles each match with an intense determination to emerge triumphant.

  • As Victoria Beckham turns 50, the money-can’t-buy gift at her intimate dinner party – and the special role Nicola Peltz will take on her big day, reveals KATIE HIND

    As Victoria Beckham turns 50, the money-can’t-buy gift at her intimate dinner party – and the special role Nicola Peltz will take on her big day, reveals KATIE HIND

    When Victoria Beckham sits down at the table in the opulent London restaurant where she will celebrate her 50th birthday next week in the company of her nearest and dearest, she will do so with a very wide smile on her face.

    As a woman who for decades didn’t have the confidence to crack a grin in public, this milestone is one of the most poignant in her life.

    Finally, after years of worrying what others thought of her and the global scrutiny she has endured, she simply no longer gives a damn.

    Friends of the fashion designer, still affectionately known as Posh Spice, say that she is ‘quietly content’ with her life.

    And despite her wealth of around £365million, her favourite present is one money cannot buy – to have all her children in the same room together – something which, say sources close to the family, ‘hardly ever happens any more’.

    For that reason alone, next Wednesday, the day of her birthday, is special. She will be joined for a small ‘family’ day by her four children – some of whom are flying in from America to watch her blow out her candles.

    Brooklyn, 25, and his wife Nicola will fly 5,000 miles from Los Angeles to be at her side, as will her youngest son Cruz, 19, who has also moved out there to further his music career. Romeo, 21, has cleared his diary and Harper, 12, their only daughter, will be joining when she finishes the school day.

    ‘It will be a small, intimate, family gathering, and it is literally the best present that she could have,’ said the friend. ‘It will be close to their London home. David has pulled a few surprises but what Victoria really wants is to be surrounded by her loved ones.

    ‘The kids are staying for a few days, which Victoria loves, and they will all join her at her posh dinner on Saturday night.’

    The family will be joined by a group of close friends for this. While the guest list will be selective, I’m told to expect some ‘well known names’ including her best friend Tana Ramsay and her husband Gordon.

    Actress Eva Longoria is also expected to fly in from America and ‘one or two’ of the Spice Girls might make an appearance. But, say sources, it won’t be a ‘circus’.

    ‘The champagne will be flowing, as will the tequila but it won’t be a big bash,’ said the friend. ‘Despite what people think, Victoria isn’t a showy, flashy person and she doesn’t have crowds of mates, just special ones who she wants to spend her big day with.’

    For Victoria, though, there is one guest who it really will warm her heart to see – daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz.

    On July 4 Victoria and David will celebrate another huge milestone – their 25th wedding anniversary

    Two years ago, the women were not on speaking terms after Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding in April 2022, and Victoria and David both feared that they could lose Brooklyn over the feud.

    Speculation over the cause of the rift was rife, but it appeared that problems began after it emerged that Victoria didn’t have time to make Nicola’s wedding dress.

    Instead, the bride wore Valentino – and later gave an interview insisting that her choice of designer was not intended to be a slight against her future mother-in-law.

    But today, things couldn’t be more different. In fact, the Mail can reveal that Nicola genuinely sees Victoria as her second mother.

    ‘Nicola comes from a huge [extended] family and as such her mum has lots of different children to attend to,’ says a friend. ‘Nicola has formed this beautiful bond with Victoria, Nicola is literally like her own daughter.

    ‘Repairing that fallout is something that Victoria is immensely proud of, and it brings her so much joy that she will be part of these celebrations. To have her there is a wonderful gift.’

    As for the birthday girl’s outfit, there’s also good news for Victoria – she will almost certainly be out of her surgical boot.

    She broke her foot after taking a tumble in the gym on Valentine’s Day and has since had to wear the unsightly equipment while she recovers. The Mail has been told that the break has been difficult to heal because she is so ‘active’.

    As a result, David, 48, hilariously gifted her a £300 KneeRover mobility bike, designed to make sure she keeps pressure off her left leg, giving it the best chance to be ready for her big day.

    Victoria has been spotted limping to and from fashion shows and dinners on crutches wearing one shoe – sometimes high-heeled – with the other in a boot.

    While friends say she took her injury ‘very much in her stride’, they also insist she is determined to look her best for her 50th and is willing to do whatever it takes to arrive at her celebrations with both feet in her trademark high heels.

    ‘It has been a really frustrating time for Victoria and she has been seeing medical experts a lot recently so they can see what progress it is making,’ said a friend.

    ‘But at the moment she is pretty confident that she will be back in her stilettoes in time for her party. Victoria, and of course David who has been so invested in its fixing too, have literally everything crossed.’

    It would be the final piece of her 50th birthday jigsaw. As well as mending her family rift with Brooklyn and Nicola, she is thrilled to have turned a financial corner with her fashion company.

    In December she recorded how she has turned a profit for the first time in 15 years – with the help of sales of an £890 clutch bag, a £30 eyeliner and a carefully orchestrated social media strategy which sees her post make-up tutorial videos on TikTok which are watched by millions. It is something she is said to be ‘very proud of.’

    On July 4, Victoria and David will celebrate another huge milestone – their 25th wedding anniversary. They first got together when Victoria was in the Spice Girls and David played for Manchester United, and few thought it would last the test of time.

    However despite some lows – including David’s alleged fling with personal assistant Rebecca Loos in 2004 while he was playing for Real Madrid – it has become one of the longest lasting marriages in showbusiness and plans are afoot for yet another bash of sorts.

    For today, friends say, their marriage is better than ever. As their accumulated 120 million Instagram followers can attest, the couple enjoy their time together, particularly at weekends, at their converted barn in the Cotswolds Village of Great Tew.

    Recently, Victoria posted a video of the former England captain changing a lightbulb, zooming in on his bottom as she filmed him. He has done the same to her and, while there were times in the past when she would not have been amused, now she couldn’t love it more.

    ‘Victoria takes the view that she’s 50 and if her husband still loves her bum then she’s delighted,’ I’m told.

    ‘It kind of sums up their relationship. They are content and happy, they laugh a lot, which has been one of the keys to making it work. It would not be a lie to say that they are in a better place than ever. And that delights Victoria.’

    She also feels blessed to still have both her parents, Tony and Jackie, as well as her in-laws, Ted and Sandra.

    In short, say her friends, Victoria has come of age and her life has come together.

    ‘For so long she has felt so scrutinised and judged. And now it’s not about money for Victoria, but about contentment. She has finally become comfortable in her own skin, she doesn’t really give a **** any more what people think.

    ‘For years people said she only had a fashion brand because of David but she has proven that is not the case and there is a huge sense of pride.

    She has found herself in both her professional and personal lives. Something has really changed with her.’

    Speaking on David’s Netflix documentary, Beckham, she told viewers how she now felt ‘at peace’.

    ‘I feel really content now and I get that sense that you [David] feel content now. When you were younger you were constantly chasing and there’s an element of you’re passing the baton on and you want that for your kids.’

    Talking of which, there is another present that money can’t buy which would be the icing on Victoria’s birthday cake – to become a grandmother.

    Although she recently joked that she wasn’t quite ready for the next generation of Beckhams, as a hands-on mother of four, there is nothing she and David would love more. So will it happen during her big year?

    ‘Brooklyn is obsessed with babies,’ said a pal of the family. ‘He was about 11 when Harper was born and has doted on her ever since. He wants to be a young dad. So, watch this space.’

    F1 heads to Shanghai up next for the Chinese GP, and the race weekend is already under scrutiny by multiple drivers, including Max Verstappen. The race in Shanghai is set to be the first Sprint race weekend of the season and according to the Red Bull driver, it certainly wasn’t “the smartest thing to do”.

    “Purely from a driving and performance perspective of the sport, I think it’s not the smartest thing to do,” said Verstappen to Autosport. “It’s not great to do that because when you have been away from a track for quite a while, I think you never know what you’re going to experience, so it would have been better to have a normal race weekend there.”

    Verstappen‘s concern makes sense given the track will return to the calendar for the first time since 2019. Therefore, it would see multiple drivers such as Logan Sargeant, Oscar Piastri, Yuki Tsunoda, and home hero Zhou Guanyu race there for the first time in their F1 career.

    Furthermore, the China weekend will have just one Free Practice session before the Sprint race shootout on Friday. The Sprint race and Grand Prix qualifying will take place on Saturday, followed by the main race on Sunday.

    This leaves the teams and drivers little time to fine-tune their cars and test the track, where they have not been in the past four years. Notably, Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez also brought up the same concern as Verstappen.

    Max Verstappen gets Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz’s support

    Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz echoed Max Verstappen in criticizing the Chinese GP being a sprint race weekend. Perez commented that the teams might find it hard on the preparation side of things.

    Similarly, Sainz too shared his concern and stated that it was not wise to put the Sprint in China after four years of gap. “We also heard there’s been resurfacing going on. Maybe for you guys at home, it’s exciting, but for engineers and drivers, in my opinion, we shouldn’t take the risk and have a normal weekend, asserted the Ferrari driver.

    Interestingly, Verstappen feels that the F1 and FIA took this gamble to bring more excitement after fans and experts have lately been calling the sport a bit boring.

    Nevertheless, Max Verstappen will look to continue his dominance in China. Yet to win at the Shanghai International Circuit, the Dutchman may break that duck and extend his championship lead further.

    “No [it’s not a joke], very serious. He’s going to come into camp for about four weeks to help me.”

    Tyson Fury is set to spar Wayne Rooney in preparation for Oleksandr Usyk

    Tyson Fury is preparing for a potential bout with Oleksandr Usyk by bringing in the best training partners on the planet.

    That’s right, none other than Wayne Rooney will be joining the WBC heavyweight champion in his fight camp ahead of the expected unification title fight.

    But it turns out Manchester United’s record goal scorer isn’t just working on a bit of fitness with Fury, as he’s actually planning on sparring him too.”We’re going to bring Wayne in for preparation for Oleksandr Usyk. No [it’s not a joke], very serious. He’s going to come into camp for about four weeks to help me.”

    Wazza is currently the manager of MLS side D.C. United.

    Tyson Fury has now said Wayne Rooney has agreed to spar him: “I spoke to Wayne and he’s well up for it. We’re gonna bring Wayne in for preparation for Oleksandr Usyk. No [it’s not a joke], very serious. He’s going to come into camp for about four weeks to help me.” [@ITVNews]

    While his football exploits speak for themselves, Rooney has never shied away from the fact that he’s a massive boxing fan either and regularly attends huge fights.

    It just so happens that he’s an even bigger Tyson Fury fan too.

    “I think he’s the best we’ve seen in a long time, and I don’t think anyone will beat him. I think he’s an absolute legend for what he’s done for boxing. He’s entertaining, his skills are incredible, his mentality is incredible,” Rooney told talkSPORT after Fury’s recent victory over Derek Chisora.

    “If I’m being honest, I probably think he should be knighted because he hasn’t been afraid to go abroad, he’s won titles abroad, defended them abroad and he epitomises everything that boxing is.”

    🤩 “Rooney is a proper legend!” 🥊 “He’s a massive boxing fan and comes from a boxing family!” 🤣 “I need somebody smaller to prepare for Usyk so, Wayne, get on the blower!” @Tyson_Fury wants @WayneRooney to help him get ready for his Usyk fight 😂

    Rooney’s comments were clearly heard by Fury himself, who fired right back with some kind words of his own.

    “Wayne Rooney is a proper legend,” Fury said.

    “And I grew up watching him as a youngster for England and United. So, that’s [an] amazing, amazing speech from him.

    “He’s a massive boxing fan, he comes from a boxing family as well. So, hopefully, we can have a little spar in the future sometime. I do need someone smaller to prepare for Usyk. Wayne, if you’re listening, get on the blower, son.”

    Speed, strength, and aggression, allowed Mike Tyson to win the world heavyweight title in 1986. He became the youngest title holder in boxing history. His nickname “Iron Mike” became legitimate and undeniable. Possessing strong, lightning-fast blows, he knocked out his rivals one by one…

    The future legend had already made a name for himself as an amateur boxer and even won the gold medal at the summer Olympics of 1960 in the Light heavyweight division. However, even after all these accolades he failed to impress a legend of the sport.

    During an interview in 1966 on an Australian TV channel about Muhammad Ali’s recent performance and his thoughts on Ali as a fighter. Rocky replied, “At this time, I rate of course Clay the best in the country …in the world as a heavyweight fighter I don’t really know how good he is he has never been hit on the chin with a good punch …he has been able to get away from punches extremely well, in fact, this has been his greatest asset getting away from punches …all of clays fights he really never been really outstanding.”

    Rocky further opened up on Muhammad Ali’s championship-winning match against Sonny Liston. He believes his win over Liston was dubious which was a common belief among fight fans back then. Even today many believe Sonny Liston lost the match on purpose.

    Muhammad Ali back then was still known as Cassius Clay and was undefeated in 24 fights. Despite being undefeated in his professional career and holding on to the WBA, WBC, NYSAC, and The Ring heavyweight titles weren’t enough to earn Rocky Marciano’s respect.

    The star suffered a ‘clean break’ to her foot on Valentine’s Day in February after falling over during a workout and has been forced to wear a medical boot and use crutches while it heals.

    But she still took some time to work on her upper body, wearing a pair of black gloves and looking strained as she put in some effort.

    She captioned her post: ‘It was a tough one today @davidbeckham,’ before joking: ‘But I do need to work on my facials!!!’

    Meanwhile, Victoria shared a snap of a shirtless David as he also trained his arms.

    His extensive body art was on display as he wore nothing but a pair of salmon-hued shorts.

    The former footballer, 48, showed off his toned torso and legs as he perched on some equipment and lifted some weights.

    Victoria captioned the picture: ‘Early work out with my husband!!’

    It comes after Victoria poured water on the flames fanned by friend Mel B about a Spice Girls reunion, revealing all five members will not be getting back together for a reunion tour or comeback performance to celebrate their 30th anniversary – just a private meal to ‘reminisce.’

    The artist formerly known as Posh has said there will categorically not be a musical reunion to celebrate the anniversary of their formation in 1994, much to fans’ disappointment.

    ‘We do have a group chat, I do speak to all the girls.

    ‘It would be lovely for us to do something to celebrate – a dinner or a lunch – and reminisce, but yes it will not be any more than that,’ she said during an interview on Radio France.

    Victoria insisted that her singing days are firmly behind her and that she is now focused solely on her fashion and beauty empire.

    ‘I’m so proud of what I achieved with the Spice Girls that now, for me, it’s about empowering people through fashion and beauty,’ she said.

    ‘There have been lots of rumours about tours and performances but that will not happen.

    ‘But I’d love to celebrate with the girls in another way just me and them.’

    Mel B reveals she was kicked out of the Spice Girls WhatsApp group

    However, her revelation is contradictory to what former bandmate Melanie Brown, 48, said last month during an interview on The Jonathan Ross Show.

    When asked about a potential reunion, Mel said that something was ‘definitely’ on the cards with Victoria, Geri Horner, 51, Melanie Chisholm, 50, and Emma Bunton, 48.

    ‘We are wanting to do something and we are, but I can’t really tell you because I’ll get kicked out of the WhatsApp group again,’ she said.

    ‘We’re definitely doing something. I’m probably going to get told off! I’m in trouble now.’

    Lewis Hamilton has been making the most of his time off from F1, attending multiple events. After attending the GQ Creativity Awards, the Briton has now attended the RIMOVA event in South Korea. Naturally, Hamilton had to run into some notable celebrity as he usually does, and this time around, it was Blackpink star Rose.

    Rose is the lead dancer and singer of the Korean girl band group, Blackpink. Born in Auckland and raised in Melbourne, Rose has had an adventurous life so far. At the age of 27, she often travels due to her fame with Blackpink and is now based out of Seoul.

    As seen on Twitter (now X), Hamilton is posing for photographs with Rose and then having a chat with her. Rose was also at the RIMOVA event to promote their mint and papaya collection. Alongside Hamilton and Kylian Mbappe, Rose was part of the celebrity group that featured in RIMOVA’s ‘Never Still 4’ campaign last year.

    RIMOVA is a high-quality luggage brand that often collaborates with celebrities like Hamilton and Rose. In 2022, even NBA star LeBron James had a collaboration for a wine suitcase. Hamilton has seemingly continued his association with RIMOVA after last year’s campaign.

    Lewis Hamilton is a proactive ambassador for brands

    Lewis Hamilton has a lot of brand endorsements and ambassadorial deals, which contribute to his immense wealth. Many brands that partner with his team, Mercedes, also onboard Hamilton as their ambassador. Brands like IWC, UBS, Tommy Hilfiger, Bose, and the list may go on.

    Being a brand ambassador also brings a lot of event commitments for Hamilton. Although, the 39-year-old does not shy away from attending fashion week events and fashion awards events. Lately, he attended the British Vogue’s Film and Fashion Party, where he made an appearance beside Vogue editor, Anna Wintour. Wintour has been a friend of the F1 star and adores his sense of style.

    Hamilton’s fashion sense is quite evident in the F1 paddock too, where he sports several unique outfits. These outfits become bolder at fashion week events in New York or Paris, where the Briton is often spotted alongside familiar fashion industry faces.
