Veteran heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua has emerged as the most financially efficient fighter in a recent analysis that looked at how much prize money elite professionals have earned relative to the punches they’ve landed during their careers. By comparing total estimated career earnings with the number of landed punches, Joshua came out on top.
According to the study, the former two‑time world champion has made an average of £172,000 for every punch he has landed in the ring over 33 professional bouts, underlining just how lucrative his boxing career has been.
The research placed him ahead of other big names in the sport, showing that even boxers with larger overall purses don’t match his earning‑per‑impact rate. Joshua’s total estimated prize money and fewer punches landed combined to give him the edge in this unique comparison.
This ranking comes as the 36‑year‑old continues his recovery from a serious car accident late last year and eyes a scheduled return to action later this year. His next potential showdown could be one of professional boxing’s most watched matchups if confirmed.
