Here at SportsLens we have decided to take an in-depth look into the career of Mauricio Lara. Lara is one of the most exciting and ferocious punchers in world boxing right now. Read on to find all about Lara’s net worth, career earnings and his endorsement deals.
Mauricio Lara Net Worth
Mauricio Lara shot to stardom back in February 2021 when he came over to face Josh Warrington as a completely unknown quantity. Not many people gave Lara a chance at beating Warrington, who was a huge 1/33 favourite with the best boxing betting sites to beat the Mexican.
However, Lara proved everyone wrong and batter the ‘Leeds Warrior’ from pilar to post until stopping him in the tenth round. Since that moment, Mauricio Lara has been regarded as one of the most dangerous fighters at featherweight, and became world champion at the beginning of 2023 to back up this label.
In the aftermath of his world title rematch with Leigh Wood, we have decided to take a deep dive into the career earnings and net worth of Mauricio Lara. It’s fair to say that the 26-year-old has made an absolute fortune in his career so far with bigger paycheques still potentially ahead of him.
As of today, Mauricio Lara’s net worth is said to be around $1 million (source: Media Referee). The Mexican boxing superstar has gradually made more and more money as his career has progressed up to world level right now.
Lara was never a household name in boxing circles until a couple of years ago when he beat Josh Warrington, who at the time was regarded as the best 126-pound fighter in the division.
‘Bronco’ has been earning lucrative purses ever since the first Warrington fight. Stepping into fights as the big underdog, Lara has now proved he is a serious operator. At just 26-years-old, he has years upon years ahead of him at the highest level of the sport, with millions of pounds to be made going forward in his career too.

The 1998-born boxer has seemingly earned tidy purses in recent years of his career since becoming a household name in boxing. Now, given the fact he is a former world champion, Mauricio Lara gets paid incredibly well every time he steps into the ring. Fair play to him, he has done it the hard way. He deserves it.
