Top 5 richest boxers in the world

Boxing is a combat sport in which two people, usually wearing protective gloves and other protective equipment such as hand wraps and mouthguards, throw punches at each other for a predetermined amount of time in a boxing ring.

Although the term “boxing” is commonly attributed to “western boxing”, in which only the fists are involved, boxing has developed in various ways in different geographical areas and cultures. In global terms, boxing is a set of combat sports focused on striking, in which two opponents face each other in a fight using at least their fists.

It’s now a lucrative sport and athletes in this sport are becoming richer all the time. In this article, we shed light on the top 5 riches boxers in the world.
