Deontay Wilder is undoubtedly among the list of best heavyweight boxers of this era. Owing to the fact that the former WBC world heavyweight champion has an astounding record of 42 wins in 45 fights in his 13 years of a pro boxing career. What’s more astonishing about Wilder is the fact that he has knocked out 41 opponents inside the boxing ring.

As a result, the Bronzebomber is regarded as one of the most dangerous fighters to have graced the sport of boxing. Consequently, after defeating numerous tough opponents, one thing is for sure that the American boxer has accumulated a lot of money from his fight. Accordingly, let us take a look at Deontay Wilder’s fight purses from some of the biggest boxing fights of his career.

Fight Purse of Deontay Wilder vs Bermane Stivarne

Deontay Wilder received his first shot at the WBC world heavyweight gold against Bermane Stivarne in 2015. Since making his debut in 2008, the American boxer had dropped all his opponents on the canvas and became well-recognized. As a result, despite being the challenger, Wilder’s purse for the fight was more than the champion Stivarne.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the British boxer miraculously got up before the ten counts and survived the fight. In the end, the referees declared this fight as a draw and Wilder ended up defending his WBC world heavyweight title. The Bronzebomber earned a magnificent amount of $4 million for this epic clash. Wilder must have received a lot more money as his cut from the pay-per-view sales is not included and an exact percentage is not revealed.
