Anthony Joshua ranks among 2024 highest-earning boxers

British boxing powerhouse Anthony Joshua has climbed to third place on the list of boxing’s highest earners, sitting behind only Tyson Fury and Canelo Álvarez.

His September fight against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium saw him pocket a guaranteed purse of £6 million.

With potential earnings from pay-per-view (PPV) buys, his total payday could surpass £25 million if sales hit the anticipated 850,000 mark.

Leading the rankings, Tyson Fury made a remarkable $100 million in May from his long-anticipated heavyweight showdown with Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

This record-breaking sum highlights Fury’s unmatched draw in the sport. Close behind him, Mexican boxing sensation Canelo Álvarez secured a hefty $35 million defending his undisputed super middleweight title against Jaime Munguia at Las Vegas’s T-Mobile Arena, according to boxing journalist Dan Rafael.

As boxing continues to deliver high-stakes, high-revenue matches, these fighters exemplify the sport’s earning potential at its highest levels.

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.
