Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk has secured a spot among the world’s five wealthiest boxers, with his net worth estimated at over $214 million, reports Baltimore Chronicle with reference to GiveMeSport. The bulk of his earnings comes from his second victory against Tyson Fury, which reportedly brought in approximately $100 million. When combined with his earnings from the first Fury fight and the two high-profile bouts against Anthony Joshua, it becomes clear why Usyk ranks among the most financially successful boxers in the sport’s history.
GiveMeSport notes that what makes Usyk’s financial achievements even more remarkable is the fact that he has only competed in eight fights in the heavyweight division throughout his professional career. At 38 years old, he may be nearing the end of his competitive journey, yet each appearance in the ring continues to generate substantial income.
The ranking is topped by American boxer Floyd Mayweather, whose fortune is valued at $400 million. The full top five list is as follows: Floyd Mayweather (USA) — $400 million; Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (Mexico) — $300 million; George Foreman (USA) — $300 million; Manny Pacquiao (Philippines) — $220 million; Oleksandr Usyk (Ukraine) — $214 million.
