Lyndon Arthur—the man who burst onto the pro boxing scene in 2016 with back-to-back knockouts—was riding a serious high. He stacked up 19 straight wins, and it looked like nothing could slow him down. But just when he was about to hit that magic number, Anthony Yarde came into the picture once again for a rematch and handed him his first professional loss. If you’ve been keeping up, you’ll remember King Arthur actually beat Yarde back in 2020 with a close split decision win at Church House in Westminster. That fight didn’t just keep his Commonwealth title in the light heavyweight division safe—it also earned him the WBO Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight strap. It was a big moment. But who would’ve thought that same opponent would come back as his toughest hurdle?

Their rematch? Yeah, that was a whole different story. Yarde didn’t just win—he stopped Arthur with a fourth-round TKO and settled the score hard. And now, four years later, it’s trilogy time. They’re set to clash once more on the undercard of the massive Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn event on April 26th, under the bright lights at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The big question: Can Lyndon Arthur bounce back and win the series? But let’s be real, it’s not just about revenge. When you’re stepping into the ring, you also want to know how heavy your pockets will be after the final bell. So if you’re someone who enjoys diving into the financial side of boxing, we’ve got you covered.

Lyndon Arthur’s 2025 net worth

Lyndon Arthur, born June 13, 1991, in Manchester, England, has been grinding in the boxing world for nearly a decade now. He made his pro debut back in 2016 at the Manchester Arena, and if you’ve followed his journey, you’ll know he’s no stranger to big stages. Before turning pro, he even repped the British Lionhearts in the World Series of Boxing that same year. One of his early standouts? A wild win by disqualification against Tayar Mehmed in 2017 at the Manchester Bowlers Exhibition Centre. From 2019 to 2021, Arthur held the Commonwealth light-heavyweight title, building solid momentum—until Anthony Yarde got his revenge.

So naturally, with all those years in the ring, you’re probably wondering—how much has Lyndon Arthur made from boxing? Well, according to reports, most of his earnings come strictly from fighting. He hasn’t locked in any major endorsements or sponsorship deals just yet, though with his skill and experience, there’s definitely potential. As far as net worth goes, there aren’t many fresh updates, but a 2023 estimate from SaveDaughters.com placed it around $5 million. Not too shabby for someone who’s done it all with his fists so far.

How much does Lyndon Arthur earn? Boxing fight purse & salary

Not much is out there when it comes to Lyndon Arthur’s exact fight purses. But if you dig deep enough, you’ll find he’s made a decent chunk from stepping into the ring. After suffering his first career loss in 2021 to Anthony Yarde, Arthur didn’t fold. In fact, he came back stronger. Out of the four fights he’s had since, he won three of them by knockout. One of the standouts? A sharp second-round TKO over Joel McIntyre that had fans buzzing. But just when it looked like the 33-year-old was back in full stride, fate threw him another curveball. This time in the form of Dmitry Bivol.

What’s your perspective on:

Can Lyndon Arthur reclaim his glory, or will Anthony Yarde prove to be his kryptonite again?

Yeah, you probably saw that one coming. Arthur stepped into the ring against the undefeated Tokmak native on the high-profile Day of Reckoning card—a night packed with top-tier action, including Deontay Wilder vs. Joseph Parker on the undercard. As the co-main event, Lyndon Arthur vs. Dmitry Bivol wasn’t just a big fight—it was a big payday. Bivol, a champion who’s taken on the best in the division, was reportedly guaranteed a $1.9 million purse. Arthur, as the challenger, was set to bank over $500,000 just for showing up, plus a pay-per-view share worth $1.2m, totalling a whopping $1.7 m. That’s a huge number for someone who’d fought for the world title for the first time. So what about the next fight purse?

Six months after his tough loss to Dmitry Bivol, Lyndon Arthur stepped back into the ring. This time against Liam Cameron. According to Sporty salaries, Lyndon Arthur was guaranteed to earn up to $350K, while Cameron’s purse was set at around $200K. Sure, it’s a drop compared to what Arthur pocketed in the Bivol fight. However, even with the numbers looking a bit lighter, it seems like Lyndon Arthur’s fortunes might be shifting once again. How, you ask?

Based on Yarde’s contract details and past fight payouts, Anthony Yarde is expected to earn up to £150K for this upcoming clash, according to Sporty Salaries. Not bad for a co-main event appearance. On the other side, his rival Lyndon Arthur is set to earn a bit more—around £200K for the night. However, since neither of them is part of the main event, there won’t be any pay-per-view revenue split for these two light-heavyweights. Still, with the spotlight on their trilogy bout, the stakes—and the rewards—are high enough to make this showdown one to watch.
