Okay, so, I’ve been digging into this boxer, Oleksandr Usyk, trying to figure out just how much money this guy’s made. You know, his net worth. It’s been a bit of a journey, let me tell you.
First off, I started with the usual spots, you know, the big-name sports websites and some financial news pages. Just wanted to get a general idea. Some sites were saying around $35 million, others were closer to $45 million. It’s a bit all over the place, but it gives you a ballpark, right?
- I looked at a bunch of different sites to see if there was any general range, like SPORTEKZ and talkSPORT, just some big names where I figured they’d have the scoop.
- Turns out, it’s not that simple. Numbers were all over the map, from $35 million to $45 million.
Then, I started digging into his recent fights, especially that big one with Tyson Fury. I mean, that fight alone had a purse of, get this, $150 million! That’s insane money, it is a big deal. They said, since Usyk won the first fight, he’d probably get around 60% of that. We are talking serious dough.
So, I did some quick maths in my head, 60% of $150 million is, well, it is $90 million. Just for one fight! Of course, that’s not all going straight into his pocket, there are probably taxes, fees, and who knows what else, but still. It’s a huge chunk of change. I can figure out how much money he earned before.
- That fight with Fury was a goldmine, a reported $150 million purse.
- Usyk, winning the first match, was likely to pocket around 60% of that, so we’re talking $90 million.
Now, before this Fury fight, Usyk was already doing pretty well for himself. I saw on talkSPORT that his net worth was estimated to be around $45 million. That’s not too shabby at all. But after beating Fury twice, man, his stock has definitely gone up. He’s a big name now, no doubt.
I also tried to see if there was any info on his endorsements. It is not much to say, but Fury got $8 million from endorsements. Usyk has to have some deals, right? A champion like him? But I couldn’t find any solid numbers on that front. It’s a bit of a mystery.
My Conclusion
So, after all this digging, what’s the conclusion? Well, it’s hard to say exactly what Oleksandr Usyk’s net worth is today. But, if I had to guess, I’d say it’s way north of that $45 million figure from before the Fury fight. We’re probably talking closer to, or maybe even, more than, $100 million now. It is just my guess. The guy’s a champ, he’s raking it in. He’s definitely made a fortune in the ring, that’s for sure.
It’s been a fun little investigation. You never really know how much these athletes are making until you start digging around. It’s a wild world, this sports business, but one thing’s for sure, Oleksandr Usyk has definitely made his mark, both in the ring and in the bank.
