Stephen Fulton is gearing up for a massive rematch against Brandon Figueroa for the WBC Featherweight title. These two boxers squared off for the first time in November 2021 at Super Bantamweight where Fulton was a champion. After Fulton dealt Figueroa his first loss, ‘The Heartbreaker’ moved up to featherweight. However, Fulton’s reign as the unified champion didn’t last long as Naoya Inoue dealt Fulton his first and only career loss. Soon ‘Cool Boy Steph’ followed Brandon Figueroa into featherweight. And now, the two are ready to duke it out once again in the co-main event of David Benavidez vs. David Morrell on February 1.

With the focus on Figueroa’s WBC title defense, the event is expected to draw in a lot of revenue. Given the stakes, let’s dive into Stephen Fulton’s financial success and how much he has earned throughout his boxing career so far.

Stephen Fulton’s Net Worth

According to Sporty Salaries, as of the end of 2024, Stephen Fulton has built an impressive fortune in the sport, with an estimated net worth of $7 million. And it all came from his boxing purses and various sponsorship deals. Fulton’s success in the ring, combined with his savvy business decisions, has led him to earn a consistent income from his fights. On average, the 30-year-old boxer makes approximately $300,000 per fight, though his earnings have been significantly boosted by his pay-per-view bonuses.

The Cool Boy Steph’s rise in the boxing world has been impressive. His earning power has steadily grown, particularly as he continued to secure high-profile wins. Let’s take a closer look at how much he earned from his past five or six major fights.

Stephen Fulton’s Fight Purse History

In his fight against Isaac Avelar in 2019, Fulton reportedly earned $30,000 for his knockout victory. Though this amount was relatively modest compared to his later paydays, it marked the beginning of his rise. The next year Fulton fought Arnold Khegai and won the WBO Inter-Continental Super Bantamweight title. After this victory, his purse increased to $100,000. Khegai, on the other hand, took home $60,000.

Stephen Fulton’s win over Angelo Leo in January 2021 to capture the WBO World Super Bantamweight title again brought in a substantial payday. According to a report from Sporty Salaries, Fulton made $400,000, plus a 50% share of the PPV revenue, which reportedly brought his total earnings for the fight to approximately $1.2 million.

Remember Fulton’s majority decision victory over Brandon Figueroa in 2021? It was the match where the Philadelphia native defended his WBC Super Bantamweight title and retained the WBO title. The close contest netted him $500,000, with another 50% share of the PPV earnings. His total earnings from the fight amounted to a reported $1.8 million, while Figueroa earned $800,000. And we also have Stephen Fulton’s title defense fight against Daniel Roman in 2022. Fulton earned the same $500,000 plus a 50% PPV share. His total earnings were reportedly less for this fight. Only $1.5 million, while Roman earned $300,000. Little did he know, his next fight would change the course by a huge margin.

The July 2023 bout with pound-for-pound great Naoya Inoue was his biggest financial windfall to date. Despite losing his WBC and WBO Super Bantamweight titles to Inoue, Fulton earned a whopping $3 million from the fight, including a share from the PPV. However, following his loss, the most recent fight against Carlos Castro last year netted him $300,000, a more modest figure but still significant in the world of boxing.

Looking ahead to his February 2025 rematch with Figueroa, it will be interesting to see how much Fulton stands to earn. Do you believe his fight against Figueroa will generate more revenue? How do you see his career progressing in the coming years?
