Oleksandr Usyk Net Worth

What Is Oleksandr Usyk's Net Worth?

Oleksandr Usyk is a Ukrainian professional boxer who has a net worth of $120 million. After a decorated amateur career—including a gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics—Usyk turned professional in 2013 and quickly rose to prominence in the cruiserweight division. In 2018, he unified the WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO cruiserweight titles, becoming the first four-belt undisputed cruiserweight champion and establishing himself as one of boxing's elite technicians.

In 2019, Usyk moved up to heavyweight and silenced critics who questioned whether his smaller frame could handle the sport's biggest men. He scored a major upset over Anthony Joshua in 2021 to win the WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles, and successfully defended them in a 2022 rematch. In May 2024, Usyk defeated Tyson Fury via split decision to become the undisputed heavyweight champion, the first in the four-belt era and the first since Lennox Lewis in 1999.

In July 2025, Usyk solidified his legacy once again by stopping Daniel Dubois in round five at Wembley Stadium to reclaim the undisputed crown after briefly losing the IBF belt. It was his second knockout win over Dubois and marked his third reign as undisputed heavyweight champion. Usyk extended his undefeated record to 24-0 and became the first man to defeat Joshua, Fury, and Dubois.

Known for his exceptional footwork, ring IQ, and ability to adapt in rematches, Usyk has cemented his status as one of the greatest boxers of his era—and arguably one of the most complete fighters in the sport's history.

Notable Paydays

Oleksandr Usyk's dominance in the ring has translated into some of the largest paydays in boxing. For his first fight against Tyson Fury on March 18, 2024, Usyk earned $45 million, defeating Fury to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era. He reportedly made a similar amount—estimated at $40–45 million—for the December 21, 2024 rematch, which he also won by decision. Usyk's biggest payday came on July 19, 2025, when he knocked out Daniel Dubois in their highly anticipated rematch at Wembley Stadium. The purse for that fight was a staggering £150 million (approximately $195 million), with Usyk taking home £97.5 million (around $127 million). Altogether, these three fights alone have netted Usyk over $215 million, solidifying his place not only as a generational talent in the ring but also one of the highest-earning boxers of the modern era.

Early Life

Oleksandr Usyk was born on January 17, 1987 in Simferopol, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union. His parents were originally from northern Ukraine with his mother being born in the Chernihiv region and his father a native of Sumy. His mother worked in construction and moved to Simferopol to study, while his father was a military man who later worked as a security guard. Usyk grew up with his two younger siblings. Until the age of 15, he played soccer and trained at the SC Tavriya Simferopol, a specialized sports school. In 2002, he switched his athletic focus to training in boxing. After high school, he attended Lviv State University of Physical Culture.

Career

As an amateur boxer, Usyk competed in the 2006 European Championships. He won his first three matches but lost in the semi-final to Matvey Korobov. By 2008, he was boxing in the light-heavyweight class and won the Strandja Cup. In February of that year, Oleksandr moved up another weight class and was sent to the Olympic qualifier, where he defeated world-class boxers Azeri Elchin Alizade and Daniel Price. He dropped back down to light-heavyweight and won gold at the 2008 European Championships. He again moved back up to heavyweight over the next few years and managed to qualify for the 2012 Summer Olympics.

At the 2012 Olympic Games in London, Usyk won the gold medal. He then retired from amateur boxing and turned professional in late 2013 at the age of 26. He signed a promotional deal with the Klitschko brothers brand, K2 Promotions, and initially fought in the cruiserweight division. Oleksandr made his professional debut on November 9, 2013, by defeating Mexican fighter Felipe Romero via a fifth-round knockout. He won his first title by the following year and quickly began rising up in the ranks of professional boxing. By 2016, he was ranked number one by the World Boxing Organization.

In June 2016, Usyk secured the WBO cruiserweight title by defeating Polish boxer Krzysztof Glowacki. He defended the title against South African boxer Thabiso Mchunu later that year. Oleksandr continued boxing well over the next couple years. In 2018, he had his most successful year yet and was the undisputed cruiserweight champion.

In 2019, he announced his intention to move up to heavyweight. His heavyweight debut was announced in October of that year, and he defeated his opponent, Chazz Witherspoon. In 2020, Usyk fought former world title challenger Derek Chisora and won. In 2021, he fought Anthony Joshua and produced an upset, though many fans and pundits had doubted Usyk would be able to win. With the win, Usyk became the unified heavyweight champion. Usyk defended his title against Joshua in a rematch the following year. In 2023, Usyk defended his unified heavyweight titles against Daniel Dubois in Poland. In the 21 fights that he has participated in as a professional, Usyk has won all 21. He won seven of the fights by decision and the other 14 by knockout.

In 2023, Usyk signed a one-year professional contract with the Ukrainian Premier League soccer team FC Polissya Zhytomyr. He had previously made a substitute appearance for the club in a friendly game in February 2022. He has stated that he intends to play soccer once he retires from boxing.
