Anthony Joshua has officially crossed the $200 million mark in career earnings, establishing himself among boxing’s top earners and surpassing both heavyweight rival Tyson Fury and rising star Gervonta Davis, according to The PUNCH.
The former two-time heavyweight champion earned an impressive $75 million from his bouts in 2024 alone, putting him just behind Canelo Alvarez, who matched Joshua’s fight earnings but edged him out by $2 million through off-field income.
Tyson Fury, now 36, earned $50 million in 2024, raising his career total to $150 million—well behind Joshua’s formidable earnings. Meanwhile, Gervonta Davis, 30, has accumulated $50 million since turning professional, with his recent high-profile matches against Ryan Garcia and Frank Martin adding nearly $20 million to his growing wealth. Garcia has also gained significant attention as a pay-per-view draw, achieving more than $40 million in career earnings.
Joshua’s financial success took off significantly following his Saudi Arabia rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr., which netted him $65 million. His subsequent encounters with Oleksandr Usyk added over $40 million across their two meetings.
In addition, the Watford-born fighter’s 2023 clash with Francis Ngannou contributed another $50 million to his account. He has also enjoyed substantial paydays, including back-to-back $12 million purses from fights against Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius, along with similar amounts from six sellout events at Wembley and Principality Stadium.
Currently recuperating from injuries sustained in his recent loss to Daniel Dubois, the 35-year-old Joshua is considering a potential matchup with Tyson Fury. His future plans hinge on the outcome of Usyk vs. Fury 2, as he anticipates his next steps in the ring.
With one fight left on his Riyadh Season contract, Saudi official Turki Alalshikh is expected to make a lucrative offer should an all-British showdown between Joshua and Fury come to fruition. Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, recently confirmed that he would not return to the ring until at least May 2024, ruling out a rematch with IBF world heavyweight champion Dubois in the immediate future.
“We’ve got one last chapter in this career, and we need to ensure it’s perfectly executed,” Hearn shared with Boxing News. “When he returns in May, June, or whenever that may be, he has to be physically and mentally fully prepared.”
