Francis Ngannou raked in a whopping $20 million from his recent bout against Anthony Joshua, showcasing his dominance in the boxing ring. Additionally, he added another $10 million to his earnings from the highly anticipated match against Tyson Fury, solidifying his status as a top earner in the sport.
In comparison, Joshua took home a staggering $50 million from the match, highlighting the immense financial rewards that come with competing at the highest level of boxing. The clash between these two heavyweight titans undoubtedly drew in a massive audience and generated substantial revenue for all parties involved.
When looking at Ngannou’s overall earnings, it becomes evident that his success in boxing has been incredibly lucrative, with a total of $30 million accumulated from just two matches. This stark contrast is further emphasized by his relatively modest earnings of $3.5 million from 14 UFC matches over a span of 7 years, underscoring the significant disparity in pay between the two combat sports.
