Anthony Joshua’s remarkable accomplishment puts him above of prominent heavyweights like his opponent Tyson Fury and up-and-coming Gervonta Davis.
Just behind the great Canelo Alvarez, Joshua has earned an incredible $75 million from his fights in 2024 alone, making him the second-highest earner of the year.
Even though the two fighters had equal fight fees, Alvarez earned $2 million more than Joshua did off the field.
The 36-year-old British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury made $50 million in 2024, bringing his lifetime earnings to $150 million, a substantially smaller sum than Joshua’s.
Meanwhile, since going professional, 30-year-old Gervonta Davis has earned $50 million. While Garcia has become a major pay-per-view attraction with career earnings exceeding $40 million, his bouts with Ryan Garcia and Frank Martin have significantly contributed roughly $20 million to his wealth.
Joshua’s financial career took a significant change when he won a whopping $65 million in Saudi Arabia during his rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr. The money from his first two fights with Oleksandr Usyk was more than $40 million, and his subsequent bouts with him were equally profitable.
Additionally, the $50 million that Joshua’s financial portfolio gained following his high-profile bout against Francis Ngannou last year significantly increased his earnings.
Joshua’s riches was further increased after he won back-to-back $12 million purses for bouts against Robert Helenius and Jermaine Franklin. Six incredible events at Wembley Stadium and the Principality Stadium further increased his revenues, each of which made a substantial contribution to his career.
Joshua, 35, is now recovering from injuries he incurred in his recent defeat against Daniel Dubois. He still has his sights set on a big fight with Tyson Fury in spite of the loss. The outcome of the much awaited Usyk vs. Fury rematch will determine Joshua’s next course of action.
In light of the fact that Anthony Joshua has one fight left on his contract with Riyadh Season, His Excellency Turki Alalshikh is anticipated to make a very high-paying offer for the all-British matchup between Joshua and Fury, should the fight go ahead.
