Artur Beterbiev’s fight purse history and endorsements

Beterbiev’s biggest payday leaving his last fight came against Callum Smith in his last fight, where he collected $1.6 million for a 7th-round KO win and marked his 8th overall world championship defense. It turned out to be another easy payday for him, as his heavy punches did the job for him and he didn’t have to go the distance.

His second-highest paycheck came in one of the most important and high-stakes fights of his career, as he fought Joe Smith Jr. for the unified belts. The Khasavyurt native also turned in a special performance that night, as he picked up a second-round KO win to bag $1.5 million. But Beterbiev’s third-highest purse came way back in 2021 when he first defended his IBF and WBC titles against Marcus Browne.
