Shakur Stevenson will face Doncaster, Yorkshire, United Kingdom’s Josh Padley tomorrow at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It will be his second title defense. Stevenson became the WBC lightweight champion on November 26 with a unanimous decision win over Dominican fighter Edwin De Los Santos.

Shakur Stevenson, a bantamweight silver medalist at the Rio Olympics, briefly shocked fans by announcing an early retirement from boxing. However, he soon hinted at a tentative return. It’s not clear what the Newark-born Southpaw wishes to do after tomorrow’s fight. Regardless, the question is, what is Stevenson’s net worth? 

Shakur Stevenson’s net worth in 2025 and endorsements

Shakur Stevenson’s net worth in 2025 is estimated to be around $3 million, a testament to both his success in the boxing ring and his lucrative endorsement deals. His financial portfolio has been bolstered by partnerships with major brands such as Reebok, PRIME Hydration, and SNAC System. One of his most notable endorsement deals was facilitated by NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, who helped him secure a collaboration with Reebok.

Beyond these endorsements, Stevenson has also promoted Pātsch Tequila, further diversifying his revenue streams. His decision to become a free agent after parting ways with Top Rank reflects a strategic move to take greater control over his earnings and career trajectory. Co-managed by James Prince and Josh Dublin, Stevenson has built a strong business foundation that extends beyond the boxing ring.

How much does Shakur Stevenson make? Fight purse history & earnings

Edwin De Los Santos

Going back chronologically, on November 26, 2023, he met Edwin De Los Santos for the lightweight title. The fight at Nevada’s T Mobile Arena ended in his 21st career victory. According to ‘Sporty Salaries’, Shakur Stevenson took home roughly $3 million. It mainly includes the estimated $1 million purse and the 70% share of the PPV revenue.

Shuichiro Yoshino

Six months earlier, on April 8, in front of his home fans, Stevenson had defeated Shuichiro Yoshino in his first lightweight fight. The statement win helped him encash roughly $3 million, according to a story on ‘Fight TV’. So going back to the details mentioned on ‘Sporty Salaries’, where it’s mentioned $3.4 million, it can be read as a full payout, including the approximate $1 million purse and the 70% share in the PPV split.

Jamel Herring

There appears to be a near unanimity on the world champion’s first million-dollar purse. That was the October 23, 2021, fight against former world champion Jamel Herring. The victory made Shakur Stevenson a two-division champion. But aside from the feat, it also made him richer by approximately $1.5 million, it seems. Add up the PPV share, and it rises to around $3.5 million.

Title Unification and defense : Oscar Valdez and Robson Conceicao

Then take the title unification bout against Oscar Valdez. On April 30, Shakur Stevenson squared up against the Mexican boxer at the MGM Grand Arena. According to ESPN, over a million fans and followers saw the match. He had the majority of the share in the PPV split, around 70%, as reported by the Draftsking Network. So it can be guessed that his overall earnings from the clash would have surged substantially.

A few months after the Valdez fight, Shakur Stevenson’s first attempt at defending his unified title against Robson Conceicao ended in disaster. He missed meeting the weight limits. He made around $3 million from the fight. Nonetheless, he had to forfeit around $150,000 for his failure to miss the weights.

Other battles

Details are available that his gross earnings stood around $1.5 million against Jeremiah Nakathila, and then against Toka Kahn Clary and Felix Caraballo, he took around $500,000 and $450,000, respectively. However, any attempt to review further purse details on fights he fought much earlier could be subject to mere speculation.

Aside from the Shakur Stevenson-Artem Harutyunyan fight, the fight night will feature the super featherweight clash between O’Shaquie Foster and Robson Conceicao. Then Keyshawn Davis and Abdullah Mason are also expected to leave their marks at the arena.

Do you think Artem Harutyunyan stands any chance against Shakur Stevenson? Also, do you think that the latter should go for a knockout win to announce a statement victory?
