Anthony Joshua has crossed the $200 million mark in career earnings, solidifying his place among the highest earners in boxing and surpassing rivals Tyson Fury and Gervonta Davis.
In 2024 alone, the former two-time heavyweight champion brought in $75 million from fights, placing him just behind Canelo Alvarez, who narrowly topped Joshua in overall earnings with an extra $2 million from endorsements.
Tyson Fury, aged 36, earned $50 million this year, bringing his career total to $150 million—well behind Joshua’s impressive financial record. Meanwhile, Gervonta Davis, at 30, has earned $50 million since turning pro, with recent bouts against Ryan Garcia and Frank Martin contributing nearly $20 million to his earnings. Garcia has also become a top pay-per-view attraction, amassing over $40 million to date.
Joshua’s financial success took off notably with his 2019 Saudi Arabia rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr., which netted him $65 million. His high-profile matches with Oleksandr Usyk added over $40 million in total, while his blockbuster fight against Francis Ngannou last year contributed another $50 million. Joshua also received $12 million each for bouts with Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius, with similar payouts from six marquee events at Wembley and the Principality Stadium.
Currently recovering from injuries after his recent defeat to Daniel Dubois, Joshua, 35, is considering a showdown with Fury, pending the result of Usyk vs. Fury 2. With one remaining fight on his lucrative Riyadh Season contract, officials anticipate His Excellency Turki Alalshikh may offer an attractive deal for this potential all-British clash.
Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, recently announced that the boxer won’t return to the ring until at least May 2024, ruling out an immediate rematch with IBF heavyweight champion Dubois.
“We have one last chapter in this career, and it has to be perfect,” Hearn shared with Boxing News. “When he comes back in May or June, he needs to be physically and mentally 100 percent ready.”
