Anthony Joshua (AJ) reportedly earned around $92-93 million for his recent fight against Jake Paul, though exact figures remain unconfirmed officially.

Fight Purse Estimates

Reports vary slightly, but most sources point to a massive combined purse exceeding $184 million split between the two fighters. Jake Paul himself hinted at $267 million total on social media, yet Joshua downplayed it as not his career high. Insiders like Ariel Helwani pegged each at $40-50 million, calling higher claims exaggerated.

Tax Impact on AJ's Take-Home

Joshua, as a UK resident, faces heavy taxes from the US-hosted bout in Miami: about $52 million federal, $11.3 million UK revenue, and $2.8 million national insurance—totaling roughly $66 million lost. This leaves him with approximately $74 million net, less than Paul's US-only tax hit. Some estimates adjust his post-tax to $50 million.

Trending Discussions

  • Forums buzz with skepticism over the $92M figure, comparing it to Joshua's past $52M vs. Ngannou or $75M vs. Usyk.
  • Reddit threads highlight his pre-fight wealth at £91M cash in 2022, questioning if this bout tops his earnings.
  • Social media contrasts Paul's $40M from Tyson fight, fueling "YouTuber vs. champ" narratives.
