With this remarkable accomplishment, Anthony Joshua surpasses well-known heavyweights like his opponent Tyson Fury and up-and-coming sensation Gervonta Davis.
With an incredible $75 million earned from his bouts in 2024 alone, Joshua is the second-highest earner of the year, trailing only the great Canelo Alvarez.
Although the fight purses of the two boxers were equal, Alvarez earned $2 million more than Joshua did off the field.
The British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury, 36, made $50 million in 2024, bringing his lifetime earnings to $150 million, a substantial amount less than Joshua’s total.
Meanwhile, after going professional, 30-year-old Gervonta Davis has earned $50 million during his career. His battles with Ryan Garcia and Frank Martin have significantly increased his wealth by almost $20 million, and Garcia has become a major pay-per-view draw with career earnings of over $40 million.
Joshua earned a significant $65 million from his rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr. in Saudi Arabia, which marked a turning point in his financial career. His next fights with Oleksandr Usyk were just as profitable, with the first two fights earning over $40 million.
Joshua’s high-profile bout against Francis Ngannou last year also significantly increased his profits, adding $50 million to his financial holdings on its own.
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.
It should be noted that Anthony Joshua has one fight left on his contract with Riyadh Season, and should the fight go forward, His Excellency Turki Alalshikh is anticipated to make a very high-paying offer for the all-British matchup between Joshua and Fury.
