British boxer Daniel Dubois is one of the few boxers to have knocked down the current undisputed heavyweight boxing champion, Oleksandr Usyk. He is regarded as one of the hardest-hitting punchers in the sport today and has an astounding 86% knockout ratio. What’s more? The 26-year-old had the WBA heavyweight title from 2022 to 2023. Now with his upcoming bout in Saudi Arabia, the young man has a chance to become the interim IBF world heavyweight champion.

‘Dynamite’ is all set to face Croatian boxer Filip Hrgovic today at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The fight is one of the five fights of the 5 vs 5 tournament between Frank Warren’s Queensberry and Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing. With just a few hours left for the fight, let’s take a look at the biggest fight purses of Dubois’ career until now. 

Fights that accumulated Daniel Dubois’ fortune 

The London native from Greenwich has amassed millions of dollars from his illustrious fighting career to date. The boxer has an estimated net worth of $5 million and leads a cushy life. He lives with his family in an opulent home in Essex, England, which he purchased with the money he made from boxing. It has seven bedrooms, a jacuzzi, and an outdoor swimming pool. His net worth will undoubtedly increase as a result of his upcoming fight with the Croatian boxer. Let’s look into his fight purses from his previous battles.

Following his showdown with Richard Lartey in 2019, Dubois began to receive six-figure salaries. However, the greatest payment he received was in 2020, when ‘Dynamite’ faced Joe Joyce in Westminster’s Church House in London. Dubois suffered his first career defeat in this bout. After including the PPV shares, the 6 feet 5-inch tall boxer earned about $2.2 million.

Coming towards the second loss of his career (but a lucrative one), Dubois faced up against Oleksandr Usyk in Wroclaw, Poland, the previous year. Although the British boxer was knocked out in the ninth round of the fight, he was paid nearly $2 million for facing the Ukrainian boxing legend.

Subsequently, Dubois achieved an incredible knockout victory over Jarrell Miller, resulting in the latter’s first professional defeat. However, the purses for the fight have not been disclosed to the public. He earned around $454,261 for his WBA title fight against Trevor Bryan in 2022. The British boxer has come a long way since then, and now, has a promising future in the heavyweight division. Talking about the salary for his matchup with Hrgovic, he is expected to pocket 62.5% of the fight fee. But there’s more at stake than just money.

Daniel Dubois vs. Filip Hrgovic: A battle for fame, legacy, and fortune

Dubois and Hrgovic will fight in a 12-round duel in Saudi Arabia. This will be a special event because the winner will be decided by a best-of-five format involving five fighters each representing Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren, two exceptional boxing promoters. Interestingly, the match has become more intriguing since it was revealed this week that Dubois and Hrgovic will be vying for the IBF interim heavyweight title. This gives both fighters a chance to take a leap of faith in the heavyweight division. Dubois will reportedly get $800k after the bout, while the Croatian boxer will receive $300k.

Whoever wins this clash has big fights ahead of him in the near future. The Croatian boxer boasts an unblemished record of 17-0. It is interesting to note that his most notable career victory came against Zhilei Zhang, who is facing Deontay Wilder in the same event. It was the Croatian’s most profitable fight to date. Furthermore, Hrgovic plans to go up against Anthony Joshua if he defeats Dubois. If not, though, the boxer plans to hang his gloves for good. 

The Croatian stated, “I think I am the best. I am working hard, and I have been in this sport for 18 years, working like a f*** maniac. If I lose to Dubois, then f* that s** man. I would not be as good as I think, so I would retire.” 

Well, the anticipation for this fight is increasing by the minute as the fight is just a few hours away from materializing. Both fighters have excellent resumes and are eager to stand victorious. The spectators will get to see some really strong jabs as both Dubois and Hrgovic are hard-hitting punchers with stunning knockout ratios.
