Apart from Usyk, no other Ukrainians appear in the ranking: the Klitschko brothers, Vasyl Lomachenko, Oleksandr Hvozdyk, and other well-known boxers did not make it into the top ten earners.

The list is topped by undefeated American Floyd Mayweather, who earned US$400 million through boxing. Second and third places went to George Foreman and Saul Alvarez, respectively.

Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk ranks sixth, having reportedly earned US$165 million.

The list is rounded out by YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, who has amassed US$100 million from boxing.
