The absolute world heavyweight champion, Oleksandr Usyk, entered the list of the richest boxers of all time.
After defeating Tyson Fury in December 2024, the Ukrainian’s fortune reached about $165 million, which allowed him to take 6th place in the world ranking, reports GiveMeSport with reference to Celebrity Net Worth. For the second fight against Fury alone, Usyk earned about $100 million. This amount secured him a place in the ranks of the boxing elite.
Moreover, Usyk became the only Ukrainian in the top ten richest boxers in history, leaving behind such ring legends as Lennox Lewis and Sugar Ray Leonard ($120 million each).
The list is headed by the famous American Floyd Mayweather with a fortune of $400 million. George Foreman ($300 million) came in second, and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez ($250 million) came in third. The top ten also included Manny Pacquiao ($220 million), Oscar De La Hoya ($200 million), Tyson Fury ($146 million), and even boxing blogger Jake Paul ($100 million).
Interestingly, the legendary Mike Tyson, despite his popularity, did not make the ranking at all, having a fortune of $20 million, as did British star Anthony Joshua ($80 million).
