Oleksandr Usyk, one of the smartest boxing sensations of all time, has shown tremendous character inside the ring. By displaying both these elements in his fights, he has been able to vanquish each of his opponents with his highly unusual fight style.

As the hardcore lovers of boxing enjoy watching a technical fighter in Usyk, they never fail to tune in to his fights. That said, the viewership and paychecks for Usyk’s fight have kept on increasing slowly and steadily.

But what is the total net worth of the southpaw boxer? Is he truly one of the richest fighters on the roster?

Per Sportekz, Usyk’s net worth stands at a mere $4 million. These numbers are undoubtedly surprising because Usyk brings in quality fights that are big draws.

What Time Is the Anthony Joshua Fight in the US? 

Usyk, who was an elite cruiserweight, earned massive fight purses from many of his fights against the top opponents in the roster. His biggest paycheck arrived when he battled Tony Bellew in 2019. The Ukrainian earned around $1 million alongside a 40% share in the PPV sales.

Also, for his last fight against Derek Chisora, the 34-year-old banked around $2.5 million coupled with a 40% PPV share.

Hence, it’s clear that Usyk‘s takeaways have increased as he has advanced. Now that he has moved to heavyweight and is boxing the elite names, his earnings will skyrocket.

Oleksandr Usyk – A Hall of Famer in the making?

The Ukrainian boxing star has shown the ability to finish and take his fights to the final bell. Not a lot of fighters can display both the game plans, but Usyk does the same with ease.

In the past, we’ve seen a legend like Evander Holyfield make the move from cruiserweight to heavyweight and not miss a step. Usyk, too, like the Hall of Famer, is one such fighter who will be able to thrive and reign supreme at a higher weight class.
