Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua: Who Is the Richer Boxer in 2023?

In the world of combat sports, sweat and skill collide, and no two names are synonymous with that than Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. After news took the boxing world by storm that papers were drawn for an impending clash, the world was more curious now than ever to know more about these behemoths. Even though the fight failed to materialize, there are still enough similarities between the two British heavyweights for us to warrant a look-through.

Nothing interests fans and pundits more than the moolah and endorsements that have been generated by celebrities. No matter the division, boxing, rife with drama and thrill, is no stranger to the speculation. While we dive into the wealth amassed by the two Bruisers, let’s also take a walk down memory lane to see how exactly the two champions managed to earn their finances.  

 The Gypsy King’s Wealth

Tyson Fury has entertained audiences with his boxing prowess and his giant stature. The financial stability of sports figures is often fleeting, the success of it all can be washed away in the middle of the night. ‘The Gypsy King,’ however, has made smart financial choices to surpass this issue. As of 2023, Celebritynetworth.com estimates his net worth at a remarkable $65 million. The heavyweight champion, who has claimed the title twice, maintains an impeccable record in 33 professional bouts. However, his sole hiccup was a draw against Deontay Wilder in 2018.

In a rematch in 2020, Fury emerged victorious over Wilder. He made $26 million and pushed his annual ring earnings to an impressive $50 million. Furthermore, Fury’s financial ascent continued. He garnered an estimated $60 million from a 2021 rematch with Wilder and a bout against Dillian Whyte in April 2022.

Furthermore, Fury’s wealth is not because of his pugilism. He has invested and been a part of various endorsements. His collaboration with Netflix resulted in the reality TV show ‘At Home With The Furys,’ further diversifying his ventures.

His charisma has attracted substantial amounts of endorsements and sponsorships. Brands are eager to be associated with his image, most notably WOW HYDRATE and Fashion Nova. This speaks of the Gypsy King’s mindfulness in both his investments, and furthering his income.

The Astonishing Fortune of Anthony Joshua

In the opposing corner is Anthony Joshua, the former heavyweight sensation, whose rise in the sport has been nothing short of extraordinary. According to Celebritynetworth.com, Anthony Joshua’s net worth for 2023 is estimated at around $80 million. Since his debut in professional boxing in 2013, Joshua achieved significant milestones. 

In 2014, he earned the title of Ring magazine’s ‘Prospect of the Year.’ This marked him as the first Englishman to make this list. Joshua garnered endorsements with brands like Under Armour, Hugo Boss, and Jaguar Land Rover among a few. Joshua’s financial success stems from a combination of his athletic skills and prudent business choices. This underscores that he is not merely a formidable athlete but also a savvy investor.

The Amazing Net-Worth Revelation

Certainly, despite Tyson Fury’s industry experience, it is undeniable that Anthony Joshua’s net worth surpasses Fury’s by an estimated 23%. Subsequently, if these pugilists are to fight, Eddie Hearn estimates that the fighters would walk away with at least £100m from the bout.
