Following the biggest win of his boxing career, we have taken a deep dive into the boxing career of Liam Smith. This includes his net worth, biggest career purse, salary and boxing record. ‘Beefy’ is one of the biggest names in British boxing right now after his sensational knockout win over Chris Eubank Jr.
Liam Smith Net Worth
Liam Smith is no stranger to a super-fight, that is for sure. He has shared a ring with the likes of Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, Chris Eubank Jr, Jaime Munguia, Liam Williams and Jessie Vargas. Having had some of these huge fights in the past, it is safe to say that Liam Smith is no stranger to a big payday.
Despite securing the biggest win of his career, ‘Beefy’ still isn’t a household name and hasn’t been hyped up as much as the likes of Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. He won’t have earnt as much as Eubank Jr last week, but if you are interested in what Chris Eubank Jr’s net worth is, then check out our article on Chris Eubank Jr’s net worth, salary, fight purse and record.
As of January 2023, it is reported that Liam Smith’s net worth is roughly £4 million.
The 34-year-old has been boxing since he was a kid, it runs in his family. Having boxed all his life, Smith will have earnt a lot of money from the sport. His fight with Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez is of course his biggest purse to date, but more on that later.
Smith’s net worth will have been heavily enhanced in recent year by his boxing career and sponsors. His main earner is of course when he steps through the ropes and into the ring. Liam Smith has been involved in some massive nights of boxing both in the UK and the US. It is no wonder that his net worth is as much as it is. Fair play to him.
A £4 million net worth for a man who comes from a poor area in Liverpool is quite an achievement. If you’d have offered Liam Smith a net worth of £4 million when he was a kid, I’m sure he would have taken it. Without question.
Biggest Fight Purse & Salary Of Liam Smith
Liam Smith’s biggest fight purse to date is estimated to be around £850,000 for his fight back in 2016 against Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. The Liverpool man was said to be disappointed by the purse at the time of the fight, given the fact that Canelo earnt somewhere in the region of $20 million.
It might come as a surprise to some people as to just how much ‘Beefy’ has reportedly made in his boxing career. He reportedly look home around £600,000 for his most recent fight against Hassan Mwakinyo, as well as reportedly earning roughly £400,000 for his fight before that against Jessie Vargas.
It was reported that ‘Beefy’ earned around £1 million for his fight against Eubank Jr this past weekend, including the pay-per-view gate.
In terms of a salary, professional boxers don’t really tend to have a salary as it depends on how many fights they have in a year, how active they are and at what level they are fighting. Liam Smith fought twice in 2022, which were his two fights mentioned above against Mwakinyo and Vargas. As Smith took home a combined £1 million for those two fights, his yearly salary based on the past 12 months (not including the Eubank Jr fight) is £1 million.
Of course, this figure isn’t one bit accurate as Smith has only been earning this kind of money in the latter stages of his boxing career. Since the Canelo fight, Smith has been paid well, but that doesn’t mean he earns this much every year, far from it in fact. This is why it is so difficult to work out the salary of a professional boxer, it is all relative.
Liam Smith has reportedly earnt around £4.7 million in his boxing career to date though fight purses. He has had 37 fights and has been pro since 2008. So 37 fights in 15 years works out at roughly 2.5 fights a year. Lets say Smith has two or three fights a year, then from his very first professional bout to now, he has earned just over £100,000 per fight. Two fights in a year, a salary of £200,000. Three fights, £300,000 – you get the idea.
Liam Smith won as a huge betting underdog last weekend against Chris Eubank Jr with the best boxing betting sites. From now on, ‘Beefy’ is likely to earn the big pay cheques and get the huge fights in the future. Liam Smith could earn an absolute fortune in the twilight stages of his career with one final push for world title glory from here on out.
