Edgar Berlanga, also known as the Puerto Rican Mike Tyson, has been on a tear since becoming a professional boxer in 2016. Although he showcased his caliber at the amateur stage, Berlanga’s professional ride has turned him into one of the hottest prospects in the sport.

The 23-year-old holds a record of 16-0, claiming all his wins via first-round KOs. These impeccable statistics have already brought the youngster into championship talks, and Edgar Berlanga can aim for the absolute superstar opponents in the nearing future.

His stardom has come along with some lucrative paychecks and endorsements. Although Berlanga’s Instagram posts might reflect him as a brashy superstar, ‘The Chosen One’ is actually a smart investor.

Despite bagging lucrative checks in his career, Berlanga believes in saving. While the entire sport took a back seat during the tough times of Covid-19, the elite KO artist didn’t have to break much sweat. Here’s how Edgar Berlanga has earned all the money and has used it in tough times.

However, the clutches of COVID-19 forced Berlanga to miss out on fighting, subsequently stopping his income. Meanwhile, he had his family back up and savings to fall back on. The KO elite connected with ESPN and commented on the same.

“Thank God that I have my dad [taking care of me] because for two years I’ve been saving all my money from every check that I was getting. But with that being said, it’s a blessing that I made that decision to save my money, put money aside and don’t go splurging my money,” said Edgar Berlanga.

He added, “So for any given day, if that rainy day comes, I have money put away. If anybody sees me buying anything it’s because I can afford it, and not only that, if I buy it, I know I’ll still be comfortable.”

This approach towards finance and has proven to be beneficial for the passionate pugilist, Edgar Berlanga. Just 16 fights old, and with multiple endorsements under his belt, he already seems to be a millionaire. At 23, he has a lot of time left in his career, and hence, the Puerto Rican superstar can become one of the greatest and richest pugilists ever.
