With Robert Helenius recently featuring in huge fights against both Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua, we have decided to take a look at the net worth and career earnings of ‘The Nordic Nightmare’. Read on to find out Helenius’ net worth, career earnings and salary from boxing.
Robert Helenius Net Worth
Anthony Joshua was scheduled to be fighting Dillian Whyte for the second time on August 12th at the O2 Arena, London. However, due to ‘The Body Snatcher’ failing an anti-doping test, the fight was cancelled. Robert Helenius grabbed the opportunity with both hands and jumped at the chance to fight the former two-time world heavyweight champion.
‘The Nordic Nightmare’ is one of those names in heavyweight boxing that people know as an incredibly game opponent. He mightn’t be world level, but he has some stellar wins on his resumé, as well as only losing to the top guys in the division.
Despite never challenging for a world heavyweight title, Helenius has some huge wins over the likes of Adam Kownacki, Derek Chisora and Erkan Teper. The only men to beat Helenius are the likes of former world champions Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, as well as world title challengers Dillian Whyte, Johann Duhaupas and Gerald Washington.
As of today, Robert Helenius’ net worth is said to be around £4 million. The Finland boxing superstar has gradually made more and more in his career, and made the biggest purse of his career last time out against Anthony Joshua. Fair play to him, he can ride off into the sunset no matter what happens, knowing he has secured his future.
‘The Nordic Nightmare’ has been boxing for 15 years now and is coming to the end of his career at the age of 39. However, boxing has certainly been good to him over the years, paying him some highly lucrative purses along the way. Not to mention the biggest purse of his career against ‘AJ’ in his last fight.
The majority of the 39-year-old’s income of course comes from boxing. Despite not being a huge name in boxing circles, he is a credible heavyweight and is moderately known around the world. In his home country of Finland he is somewhat of a superstar, which in turn gets him huge endorsement deals. More on that later on.

Robert Helenius Career Earnings
Robert Helenius has been a professional boxer since he made his debut back in 2008. Since then, ‘The Nordic Nightmare’ has had 36 more professional boxing fights, including some monumental victories and huge bouts against world level operators.
The 39-year-old has seemingly earned far more money since signing stepping up to European and fringe world level in the past decade. Now, in the twilight of his career, Robert Helenius is certainly earning some of bigger purses of his career in recent fights by quite some distance.
That’s right, Helenius reportedly earned somewhere in the region of $1.7 million for his fight with Anthony Joshua on August 12th (source: Sports Payouts). That is over double the amount of his second biggest purse. This just goes to show what stepping in at short notice and daring to be great can do in terms of payment and earnings.
With his long and successful career in boxing, this means that Robert Helenius’ total career earnings inside the ring equates to roughly $4.5 million. This isn’t anywhere near the level of the likes of Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua or Deontay Wilder of course, but it is a seriously lucrative amount of money for a fringe world level heavyweight. Fair play to him.
The second biggest purse of Helenius’ career so far, behind the ‘AJ’ purse, was his fight with former WBC World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder in 2022. It was reported that ‘The Nordic Nightmare’ took home a purse of $700,000 for the bout versus Wilder (source: Sports Payouts). Not bad considering the fight only lasted two minutes with Helenius getting laid out by ‘The Bronze Bomber’.
