Jake Paul Boxing Career Earnings
Despite only having his first professional boxing fight in 2020, Jake Paul became the highest paid athlete under the age of 25 in 2021 thanks to his boxing career, according to Forbes.
‘The Problem Child’ had two fights in 2020, before competing three times in 2021 in the boxing ring. Paul had just the one fight in 2022 against Anderson Silva, but has earned astronomical sums of money since he started on his boxing journey. Hats off to him, he knows how to make a penny or two.
The 1997-born boxing superstar has gone from strength to strength since turning professional. This is backed up by his career earnings, which have continued to grow at a rapid rate over the past few years.
It is reported that the Ohio man earned around $40 million in 2021. Forbes suggested that his three bouts in 2021, firstly against Ben Askren and then twice against Tyron Woodley, as well as outside of the ring revenue streams, earned him the $40 million.
For his fight with Tommy Fury in early 2023, ‘The Problem Child’ earned yet another highly lucrative purse. In the aftermath of the fight, despite losing for the first time as a professional boxer, Paul stated that he earned around $30 million for the fight against Fury in Saudi Arabia.
This means that all-in-all, Jake Paul’s total career earnings inside the boxing ring equates to roughly $52 million. This is quite staggering considering Paul only took to the sport three years ago and is still learning his trade as a relative novice.
