Nigerian-British heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua has crossed a major financial milestone, with career earnings now exceeding $200 million. This achievement solidifies Joshua’s position as one of boxing’s top earners, placing him ahead of high-profile rivals like Tyson Fury and Gervonta Davis.
In 2024 alone, Joshua’s earnings reached an impressive $75 million, a figure only surpassed by Canelo Alvarez, who has also garnered substantial off-field revenue. Fury’s earnings for the year stood at $50 million, boosting his career total to $150 million, still short of Joshua’s.

Gervonta Davis, another notable name in boxing, has amassed around $50 million in total career earnings since turning professional, driven largely by his high-grossing bouts with Ryan Garcia and Frank Martin.
Joshua’s financial surge began with a staggering $65 million payday from his Saudi Arabia rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr. He then added another $50 million from his high-profile fights with Oleksandr Usyk and Francis Ngannou, along with earnings from major venues like Wembley.
Recovering from injuries from his fight against Daniel Dubois, Joshua is targeting a return to the ring in May 2024. His promoter, Eddie Hearn, has emphasized the significance of Joshua’s next move, focusing on ensuring that he returns fully prepared for his next major bout.
