Richest boxers in the world and where Tyson Fury ranks as Jake Paul above Anthony Joshua

Boxing is arguably the most lucrative individual sport - with the top champions earning millions per fight and with the popularity continuing to grow, it doesn't seem like that'll change anytime soon.

Spectators are willing to travel the world, paying hefty fees to sit in the stands to watch their favourite fighters go at it, whilst millions at home front up pay-per-view money to witness the sport.

With colourful personalities, trash-talk and highlight moments - boxing is certainly one of the most entertaining sports that we're all thankful to have.

Having the above traits can hugely aid you in the sport - especially financially.

Being a marketable, exciting and successful boxer will usually lead to a number of huge paydays.

In recent times, the UK has seen two heavyweight fighters - Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua - make huge sums of money.

Before them, guys such as Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather and Oscar de la Hoya have gone on to become extravagant millionaires - all being prominent even in retirement.

But which boxers have made the most money? Here, MEN sport takes a look at the top 10 richest boxers of all-time.

Despite only having 26 professional fights, Joshua has made a massive amount of money in that time - being a marketable athlete from day one.

His debut coming off the back of his Olympics Gold medal in London, there was plenty of anticipation ahead of his career, as Joshua made easy work of all of his opponents for two years before coming up against Dillian Whyte in 2015 - eventually winning with a seventh round KO.

Joshua has sold over one million PPVs seven times in his career - with almost two million tuning in to see him defeat Joseph Parker.
