JAKARTA - Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson will face off for the second time later this year.

The two heavyweight legends met for the first time in the title race for the WBC, IBO, IBF, Ring and Lineal heavyweights on June 8, 2002 at The Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee. At that time, Lewis won the battle by knockout in the 8th round.

Now nearly 19 years since that fight, Lewis and Tyson - both in their 50s - are ready for an unexpected rematch in September.

Ahead of the fight, Daily Star Sport has examined the net worth of each boxer. Here are the details.

Lennox Lewis

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Lewis is still a staggering $ 139 million despite retiring from sports in 2003.

The undisputed former heavyweight champion received $ 16.7 million for his 2002 win over Tyson. These results attracted a pay-per-view purchase of $ 1.95 million and earned him a total of $ 55.6 million.

Lewis also made $ 16.7 million for his successful rematch against Evander Holyfield three years earlier. His first fight with The Real Deal Holyfield, with a controversial draw, earned him $ 9.7 million in cash.

Lewis now works as an expert at FOX Sports, commenting on Premier Boxing Champions fights in the United States, and has also enjoyed an analyst role with HBO in the past.

He is said to be involved in several unnamed business ventures, along with a number of philanthropic and charity projects.

Mike Tyson

Meanwhile, Mike Tyson made under $ 553 million (Rp. 800 billion) before ending his professional career in 2005. During that time, Tyson lived in luxury. He collects cars worth millions of pounds including the Lamborghini LM002 and Cadillac Escalade and Hummer H2.

Then there are the multimillion-dollar watches and jewelery and the vast Connecticut estate that he bought for $ 3.1 million. Inside is equipped with 24 bathrooms and a swimming pool.

The 54-year-old also owns a mansion in Nevada, worth $ 2.6 million, as well as an apartment in Los Angeles.

After going bankrupt in 2003, he sold his luxury home to rapper 50 Cent for $ 4.5 million (Rp.66 billion) because he had debts of around $ 23.5 million (Rp.340 billion).

Tyson was able to get up and managed to collect back his dollar coffers. Celebrity Net Worth reports that Tyson's net worth is currently at $ 9.7 million, far below Lewis.
