JAKARTA - Do you still remember Frank Bruno? Yes, he is a former boxer that Mike Tyson once faced. This man's net worth is the same as that of Iron Mike.

Bruno and Tyson had two fistfights during their legendary boxing careers. First, Bruno lost in the fifth round in February 1989. Second, he lost again in the third round in March 1996.

A quarter of a century after the last fight, the two legendary boxers met in February to make a documentary. This film has aired on NOW TV and Sky Documentaries.

The documentary shows how Bruno and Tyson manage to rebuild themselves and find peace again after experiencing their respective problems outside the ring.

However, that is not the only similarity between Bruno and Tyson. Celebrity Net Worth claims the two have the same amount of money in their bank accounts.

It is believed the two heavyweight champions have around £ 7.5 million in cash, which they have raised in and outside the ring.

Bruno, who remains one of Britain's most popular sportsmen, tasted career glory by overthrowing Oliver McCall in 1995. But six months later, the Wandsworth man lost the title when he was stopped by Tyson for the second time.

His net worth of £ 7.5 million is managed with care, although he also dabbles in other areas. During a 2017 interview with the Telegraph, Bruno said he had a number of investments in the stock market.

He also starred in a number of commercials during his heavyweight career and starred in various mimes over the years as well as voice acting for TV shows. He should thank his accountant for being able to maintain his net worth.

Tyson is said to have earned £ 415 million (Rp. 8.2 trillion) from 56 fights he has fought, during which he became the youngest world heavyweight champion of all-time at the age of 20 years, four months, and 22 days.

However, the New York-born star squandered his money on a large house, a luxury motorbike, and even a pet tiger. He was forced to file for bankruptcy in 2003 after having debts worth £ 20 million. However, in the following 18 years, he succeeded in changing his life.

Apart from starring in or holding minor roles in films such as The Hangover, Tyson also has his own animated TV show called Mike Tyson Mysteries.

Most recently, he produced a podcast called Hotboxin' With Mike Tyson, which is one of the most popular combat sports-related podcasts to date.

However, Tyson is also rebuilding himself by launching a weed farm called Tyson Ranch, where he grows and sells his own brand of cannabis as well as marijuana-based health products. According to Cheat Sheet, Tyson Ranch sells weed for over £ 360,000 per month.

He is also known to have raised £ 7.5 million (Rp. 149 billion) from his sensational boxing comeback against Roy Jones Jr last November. In the exhibition fight, Tyson and Roy Jones drew.
