DANIEL DUBOIS fights Anthony Joshua for the IBF heavyweight world title and a bumper purse – but how much have the Brits raked in from boxing so far?
AJ and Dynamite face off at Wembley having both won their previous fights.
Joshua defeated former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in March 2024.
Dubois’ latest victory came against Filip Hrgovic by TKO after the showdown was halted following doctor’s advice.
The purse up for grabs looks set to be a record for Dubois and could motivate the British icon Dynamite to cause an upset on September 21, 2024.
What is Anthony Joshua’s net worth?
Forbes claim that the former unified heavyweight won £56.7 million ($75 million) in the ring in 2024, making him No.16 in their world’s highest-paid athletes for the year.
Joshua made headlines defeating Wladimir Klitschko in 2017, reportedly profiting £15 million.
The Watford-born boxer collected £10 million fighting Carlos Takam in 2017 and a further £36 million across bouts with Joseph Parker and Alexander Povetkin in 2018.
The Brit’s 2019 double header against Andy Ruiz Jr. is reported to have paid out around £65.8 million, more than double the £32.5 million he made for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk in 2022.
Bouts against Jermain Franklin and Robert Helenius in 2023 both cashed out £10million before AJ’s most recent fight against Ngannou delivered £40million for his second round KO.
According to reports AJ’s career winnings amount to roughly £219 million.
What is Daniel Dubois’ net worth?
Dynamite began fighting for six-figure pay cheques following his bout against Richard Lartey in 2019.
However, Dubois’ biggest payout came in 2020 after his first career defeat. The Brit took home £1.75 million after his loss to Joe Joyce in Westminster’s Church House, London.
Dynamite collected a further £1.8 million in his subsequent fights, with his loss against Oleksandr Usyk bringing in £1.6 million in 2023.
According to multiple outlets, Dubois’ earnings in the ring are believed to be around £5 million.
What is the pair’s combined net worth?
Anthony Joshua’s success plays a massive part in a combined net worth of roughly £224 million.
Dubois will be aware that he is the less experienced of the two heavyweights but the chance to cause an upset against such a successful boxer will be a massive motivator.
Dynamite’s £5 million winnings equal barely more than 2% of AJ’s £219 million.
