Ultimate boxing Wags rich list – from an Olympian to a Selling Sunset ‘star’ and wife who spent £100k on a G-Wagon
IT’S a world dominated by big money – and bigger personalities.
But while the wives and partners of some of boxing’s top names might sometimes shy away from the limelight, many have more world titles and bigger net worths than their blokes.
Brand and culture expert Nick Ede believes that boxers look for both beauty and success when choosing their other halves.
And they want a woman who can give as good as she gets.
He says: “Boxers don’t want a woman who sits by the ring just looking pretty, they want a motivated woman that can’t be pushed to the side.”
Here, YASMIN HARISHA reveals all about the knockout boxing Wags, while Nick tells why their partnerships work.
PARIS FURY – Wife of TYSON FURY
Tyson’s estimated worth: £52million
Paris’s estimated worth: £4million
Instagram: 1million
BORN in Doncaster to an Irish traveller family, Paris married heavyweight champion Tyson aged 17 after meeting him at 15.
Like Tyson, Paris, now 33, had a traditional traveller upbringing. She left school at 11 without any qualifications – but was later home-schooled.
She worked at a beauty salon as he forged his boxing career and gave birth to the couple’s first child, Venezuela, in 2009.
The couple now have six children – with a seventh on the way.
As well as working on her own projects, including writing two autobiographies, Paris starred alongside Tyson, 34, in the hugely popular three-part ITV documentary Gypsy King in 2020.
She also makes substantial sums from endorsements on Instagram.
And although Paris and Tyson are both millionaires, they insist they only need £10,000 a year to afford their lifestyle, with the savvy mum shopping in Poundland and B&M.
Tyson previously said: “The only person you need to make happy is your wife.
“Because everybody else will always have a different opinion – but they don’t have to live with you.
“The one person you have to keep happy is that wife because if you’ve got a happy wife, you’ll have a happy life.”
NICK SAYS: “With her strong family values, grit and determination, Paris has become a force of nature, and is the secret to Tyson’s success.
“Paris can hold her own by the boxing world champ’s side, she’s a formidable force, a bestselling author, super mother and super wife.
“With her savvy style and intriguing backstory, Paris is a new breed of boxing Wag who has used her husband’s fame to make her own money.”
DEE DEVLIN – Fiancée of CONOR McGREGOR
Conor’s estimated worth: £160million
Dee’s estimated worth: £15million
Instagram: 1.9million
BEHIND every successful man is a strong woman – and Dee has certainly got the muscle to fight for herself.
The former model first met the Irish UFC champion in 2008 while she was a waitress in a nightclub.
Fast forward 15 years and the couple have three children.
The 35-year-old reportedly earns large sums for sponsored posts on her Instagram page which has almost two million followers – but that’s just her side hustle.
Dee, who is expecting her fourth child with Conor, 35, is part of his management team, handling finances and training schedules.
Conor has previously credited Dee with his entire career, saying: “If it wasn’t for her, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today.”
NICK SAYS: “Dee has the brains, beauty and determination to drive Conor to superstardom.
“She’s a style icon in her own right and commands thousands from brands that want to be associated with her and her bad boy partner.
“She knows the ins and outs of the fight game.”
MOLLY-MAE HAGUE – Girlfriend of TOMMY FURY
Tommy’s estimated worth: £1million
Molly’s estimated worth: £9million
Instagram: 8million
MOLLY-MAE has been smashing titles since her youth growing up in Hitchin, Herts, having been crowned Miss Teen Hertfordshire in 2015, aged 16.
The next year she won World Teen Supermodel UK and went on to be first runner-up at the World Teen Supermodel contest in China.
In 2019, aged 20, she met pro boxer Tommy Fury on Love Island.
Since then, Molly-Mae, 24, has worked at making a big name – and big money – for herself.
In 2021, she signed a £500,000 deal with PrettyLittleThing and in August that year she became their £400,000-a-month creative director.
Now boasting 8million Instagram followers, she has seen huge successes with her own self-tan range and partnerships with brands such as Starbucks.
After his victory against Jake Paul earlier this year, Tommy, 24, said: “Molly is the perfect girl, she’s my rock.”
The couple live in a £4million mansion with daughter Bambi.
NICK SAYS: “Molly-Mae is on the right track when it comes to ruling showbiz land, and might even be as successful as the Kardashians.
“I can see her setting up her own wellness brand next, one that complements her partner’s success in the ring.”
JUTTA LEERDAM – Girlfriend of JAKE PAUL
Jake’s estimated worth: £23million
Jutta’s estimated worth: £775 k
Instagram: 4.2million
SHE might not be a name on the global sporting stage, but Jutta has more medals than her You- Tuber boxing bloke Jake.
As a Dutch Olympic speed skater, Jutta won gold at the 2017 World Junior Championships in Helsinki, Finland.
During the 2017-18 season, she won the ISU Junior World Cup competition in the 1,000m and 1,500m events.
Jutta, 24, who also became the Dutch junior sprint champ, then turned pro and became a member of Team IKO in 2018.
She took two world titles in 2022 – a silver at the Winter Olympics and a gold at the World Sprint Championships – and ended the year on a high after meeting Jake, 26, on Instagram.
During an appearance on his brother Logan Paul’s YouTube channel this month, Jake said: “Jutta is an amazing woman.
“She amazes me for how mature she is, how good she is at communicating, at loving, the list goes on and on and on.”
NICK SAYS: “Jutta has earned her place in sporting history, not in a controversial way like her partner.
“She is always supporting Jake, but is good competition for him.
“She’s sexy and intelligent and will certainly keep Jake light on his toes.”
LAKIHA SPICER – Wife of MIKE TYSON
Mike’s estimated worth: £7.5million
Lakiha’s estimated worth: £2.3million
Instagram: No account
AFTER graduating from a West Philadelphia high school in 1995, Lakiha became an entrepreneur, boutique owner and Mike’s third wife.
In 2008, she got six months in federal jail for defrauding £60,000 from a firm owned by her dad.
But the American socialite has since reformed her life. Lakiha, 48, often pictured in bright outfits, launched her US boutique, selling luxury items of fashion, jewellery and accessories.
She and Mike, 57, live in a £1.9million Mediterranean-style mansion in a gated golf course community in the Henderson suburbs of Las Vegas.
Mike credits Lakiha for turning his life around.
He previously said: “Without my wife, I’m a savage animal. I look at women differently as I get older.
“When I was younger, I viewed them as pleasure.
“Now that I’m older, I look at them as the half. It makes me realise that I’m a man and at this stage in my life, they’re my teachers.
“If a man doesn’t have a little bit of fear of his wife, he’s not living his life right.”
NICK SAYS: “Lakiha is a true example of someone with fighting strength. She lost it all, but she’s back with a vengeance.
“She’s living the high life, working on projects with Mike. She knows she’s the only one who can tame him.”
TELLI SWIFT – Fiancée of DEONTAY WILDER
Deontay’s estimated worth: £25million
Telli’s estimated worth: £3.8million
Instagram: 2million
EX-heavyweight champion Deontay may not hit the peaks any more when it comes to his boxing career, but his fiancée is scaling the heights.
Telli, 36, a US-based Filipino model, received a degree in nursing in 2000 and then went on to work in the emergency room of an LA hospital.
She hails herself an entrepreneur, reality TV star and “fempowerist”, supporting women in everything from business growth to mental health.
Telli helped set up the Boxing Wags Association, which raises funds for service providers and non-profit organisations to support kids and families, and owns a worldwide luxury rental and concierge service, plus perfume brand D’Telli Fragrances, with scents costing over £300.
Prior to his proposal, Deontay was reluctant to ask Telli for her hand in marriage as he was afraid of getting his heart broken.
He said on reality show Wags Atlanta: “Even though I know I got a real woman and I love her to death, I know that I could give my all to a person and still get f****d over.”
NICK SAYS: “Telli not only has brains and beauty, but she’s a philanthropist and broadcaster too.
“Nothing stops her from using her platform to do good and she’s a standout star in the media and TV.
“She certainly won’t break Wilder’s heart as she knows they are a super power couple.”
SIAN OSBORNE – Girlfriend of DAVID HAYE
David’s estimated worth: £15million
Sian’s estimated worth: £700k
Instagram: No account
THERE’S been months of speculation about whether Sian and David, 42, are a couple – or part of a throuple – with ex-Saturdays singer Una Healy rumoured to have been in a three-way relationship with them earlier this year.
But one thing is for sure, model Sian, 31, and David are rarely apart, having started dating in 2020 and enjoying a string of lavish holidays.
The 5ft 11in beauty is a full-time model and has been the cover star of fashion mags – and in 2017 she appeared on hit US TV show Project Runway.
NICK SAYS: “We know David Haye is a controversial figure when it comes to his love life, but Sian has been by his side when others have left him.
“She’s a top model in her own right who can hold her own when the going gets tough.”
ANGELA BLEMMINGS – Girlfriend of RICKY HATTON
Ricky’s estimated worth: £35.2million
Angela’s estimated worth: Unknown
Instagram: 2,735
FORMER professional boxer Ricky Hatton went public with glam girlfriend Angela in July last year after his split from ex-partner Marie Pollard.
While little is known about their relationship, it seems Angela is an entrepreneur and winner of 2022’s British Hair & Beauty Gold Award.
Angela owns a beauty and cosmetics business, EyeCandy, in Stalybridge, Manchester.
She started it after leaving school in 1995.
The 45-year-old says she has a “fun side too” as she sings on house music tracks.
She and Ricky, 44, recently visited Dublin, where they enjoyed pints of Guinness.
NICK SAYS: “Ricky Hatton has a reputation and since splitting from his long-term partner has found love with Angela.
“She’s down-to-earth, with a gold standard beauty company, and isn’t afraid to show off her fabulous side as a house track singer.
“Ricky needed a woman able to hold her own and a pint of Guinness!
“She’s a gold-winner boxing Wag and the perfect match for the bad boy of boxing.”
