British heavyweight Anthony Joshua has ascended to third place among boxing’s top earners, following Tyson Fury and Canelo Álvarez.
In his September bout against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium, Joshua secured a guaranteed £6 million purse, with potential pay-per-view (PPV) revenue possibly elevating his total earnings beyond £25 million if buys reached 850,000.
Tyson Fury leads the earnings chart, reportedly amassing $100 million from his historic heavyweight clash against Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in May.
Meanwhile, Mexican boxing sensation Canelo Álvarez earned $35 million for defending his undisputed super middleweight title against Jaime Munguia at Las Vegas’s T-Mobile Arena, as reported by boxing journalist Dan Rafael.
Anthony Joshua’s substantial earnings underscore his status as one of boxing’s highest-paid athletes, reflecting the sport’s era of multimillion-dollar bouts and record-breaking contracts.
