Joseph Parker is a former world heavyweight champion, sharing the ring with the likes of Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, Zhilei Zhang and Joe Joyce in the past. Here at SportsLens, we have decided to take a look at Parker’s net worth, career earnings, biggest purses and endorsements from boxing.
Joseph Parker Net Worth
Joseph Parker claimed the biggest win of his boxing career at ‘Day Of Reckoning’, comprehensively outboxing Deontay Wilder for 12 rounds in Saudi Arabia. Parker was a huge underdog with UK bookmakers to defeat ‘The Bronze Bomber’, but put in a flawless performance, outboxing Wilder with relative ease.
Parker has thrown his name right back into the world title mix in 2024, with some potentially huge fights on the horizon for the New Zealander. After beating Zhilei Zhang on the Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou undercard, world title fights could well be on the cards next for Parker, or perhaps even a fight with Daniel Dubois.
As of today, Joseph Parker’s net worth is said to be estimated at £4 million according to The Sun. The New Zealand heavyweight boxer has seen a huge rise in his net worth over the past few of years, mainly due to his bouts with Derek Chisora twice, Deontay Wilder, Joe Joyce, Zhilei Zhang, Dillian Whyte and of course Anthony Joshua.
He has had some big purses throughout his career of course too, and more recently has been earning extremely lucratively. More on his career earnings later.
Parker’s net worth is almost entirely down to his success inside the boxing ring. Some of Parker’s sponsors will also help enhance his net worth going forward. He has various different sponsorship deals to his name which we will look into further in this article.
Joseph Parker Career Earnings & Biggest Purses
Joseph Parker has been a professional boxer since he made his debut back in July 2017. Since then, Parker has had 37 more professional bouts, earning more money as his career has progressed.
The 31-year-old New Zealand boxing superstar has seemingly earned far more money since stepping up to world level back in 2016. Parker beat Andy Ruiz Jr to become world champion in 2016, before he made two successful defences and then fought Anthony Joshua in their unification bout at the Principality Stadium.
Parker reportedly took home somewhere in the region of £8 million for the ‘AJ’ fight, despite losing to the British heavyweight. This is by far the biggest purse of his career to date.
The second biggest purse of Parker’s career reportedly came at ‘Day Of Reckoning’ in Saudi Arabia against Deontay Wilder. The Kiwi heavyweight star reportedly pocketed somewhere in the region of £3 million for his one-sided victory over ‘The Bronze Bomber’.
He then earned upward of £2.5 million at ‘Knockout Chaos’ for his decision victory over China’s Zhilei Zhang (source: DraftKings Network).
According to The Sun, the orthodox fighter has earned almost £22.5 million in his boxing career. Some of the other big pay-days in his career came against the likes of Joe Joyce, Derek Chisora and Dillian Whyte. In his two fights against Derek Chisora, Parker reportedly earned a combined £3.75 million.
The Kiwi also reportedly took home £1 million for his defeat to Dillian Whyte, as well as a £2.4 million purse in defeat to Joe Joyce back in 2022 as well. It’s fair to say that Joseph Parker’s net worth and career earnings are pretty high.
