us as we investigate the Oleksandr Usyk net worth, his career earnings from boxing, endorsement deals and biggest fight purses. Usyk is one of the greatest boxers of the 21st century, and his earnings inside the boxing ring fairly compliment his high-level skillset.
Oleksandr Usyk Net Worth
Oleksandr Usyk is one of the biggest stars in world boxing. The unbeaten Ukrainian icon is of course an Olympic Gold Medallist, not to mention being a two-division undisputed champion. Usyk is a pound-for-pound boxing great and will go down in history as one of the best fighters of the 21st century.
Ahead of Usyk’s next fight, we have decided to take a deep dive into his net worth, career earnings, fight purses and sponsorship deals. It’s fair to say that the 37-year-old has made a fortune in his career so far and won’t be worrying about his bank balance anytime soon!
As of today, Oleksandr Usyk’s net worth is said to be around £45 million, per talkSPORT. The undefeated boxing champion has earned multi-millions of late in his career, particularly since stepping up to heavyweight and beating three of the best fighters on the planet.
The vast majority of Usyk’s riches do of course come from his boxing career. Multi-million pound fight purses against the likes of Anthony Joshua have all heavily inflated Usyk’s ever-growing net worth.
The 37-year-old reportedly lives in a mansion with his wife and three children, but isn’t the type of man who buys expensive assets such as cars, watches and other materialistic things. Usyk has donated a lot of his earnings to Ukraine too, helping provide aid for his citizens throughout the ongoing conflict with Russia.
‘The Cat’ has earned so much money throughout his boxing career, hence why his net worth is so high. His huge fight purses and lucrative endorsement deals further add to his riches. More on that a bit later on.

The 37-year-old has seemingly earned far more money since g stepping up to the heavyweight division back in 2019. After two routine fights against Chazz Witherspoon and Tyson Fury.

This just goes to show that before his move to the upper echelons of the heavyweight division, Oleksandr Usyk hadn’t been earning huge purses at all.
That being said, Usyk now has now had a few multi-million pound purses. The single biggest payday of Usyk’s career so far unsurprisingly came last time out in his rematch with Tyson Fury. ‘The Cat’ reportedly took home £82.5 million of the £150m total prize money, which is over double what he earned for the first fight seven months prior.
