Lennox Lewis tops the list of highest-earning British boxers with a net worth exceeding £95 million. Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury follow closely behind.
Britain has been the birthplace of many world-renowned boxers, such as Joe Calzaghe, David Haye, Frank Bruno, Ricky Hatton, Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn and Sir Henry Cooper. However, none of these names feature in the top three highest-earning British fighters of all-time - according to CelebrityNetWorth. Manchester-born Tyson Fury , also known as the Gypsy King, is worth nearly £52million, which makes him the 10th highest-earning boxer globally.
Long-term rival Anthony Joshua follows next, with a net worth of almost £64m, despite recent losses that have somewhat impacted his otherwise illustrious career. Yet, it's Lennox Lewis who holds the title of Britain's highest-ever earning prize-fighter, boasting a net worth exceeding £95m - and close to £100m. Lewis rose to stardom in the 1990s, defeating boxing legends like Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson. The British-Canadian boxer ranks sixth on the all-time earnings list, even ahead of Sugar Ray Leonard and Oscar De La Hoya. Even De La Hoya, whose net worth is close to £160m, pales in comparison to the world's highest-earning boxer, Floyd Mayweather. According to CelebrityNetWorth, Mayweather's net worth is an astounding £320m. The 47-year-old, who competed from 1996 to 2017, is widely regarded as one of the greatest boxers ever, having defeated Ricky Hatton, Canelo Alvarez, Manny Pacquiao and even De La Hoya. A proposed fight between Fury and Joshua, meanwhile, could take a step closer in 2025 after the former was, for the second time, beaten by Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night. That result means both Britons have succumbed to Usyk twice each in their professional careers - while their all-British showdown has been a long time in the making
