Oleksandr Usyk net worth and how much he is getting paid for Daniel Dubois rematch?
OLEKSANDR USYK rematches Daniel Dubois in one of the biggest fights of the year. Usyk beat Dubois controversially in the first fight between the pair. 1 He became the first four-belt undisputed champion in heavyweight history after a historic win over Tyson Fury. But Usyk was forced to vacate the IBF belt in order to proceed with his money-spinning Riyadh rematch against Fury in December 2024. The Ukrainian returns to action in London, trying to put Daniel Dubois down once more. What is Oleksandr Usyk's net worth? The true extent of Usyk's can not truly be known - but reports online suggest it is in the region of £45million - though it could be much more. Usyk has also fought Anthony Joshua twice, with his pair of points wins likely to have banked him around £30m. He would have also picked up a few million for his 2023 victory over Daniel Dubois and other pay-per-view fights against the likes of Tony Bellew and Derek Chisora. Usyk is also sponsored by Venum, Jaxet, Lomus, and WePlay Esports. How much is he getting paid for Dubois rematch? Again unconfirmed, but social media reports suggest the fighters are getting in the ring for a split £150m purse. The share is also unknown, but having won their first fight, Usyk could be taking home more than his rival this time around.
