Forbes magazine published the annual ranking of the richest sportsmen of Ukraine. Boxer Oleksandr Usyk, who earned $54 million last year, remains the leader again.

Forbes magazine has published a ranking of the 15 highest-paid sportsmen of Ukraine in 2024. In total, they earned 105.5 million dollars.

Ukrainian boxer Olexandr Usyk topped the list, who in 2024 defended the “absolute” heavyweight title in a match against Tyson Fury. For this fight, Usyk received about 34 million dollars, and in general, for 2024, Alexander earned approximately 54 million dollars.

Earned $50 million a year?! It's not like that, but let it be – therefore, I will really earn this much, – the absolute world boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk smiles when asked by the editor of Forbes Ukraine about the size of his income from performances in the ring and sponsorship and advertising contracts received in the last 12 months.< /p>

Arsenal defender Olexandr Zinchenko took second place in the rating. He received 44 million income less than the boxer – 10 million dollars. The main part of his income for 2024 is the contract with the London club, as well as sponsorship agreements.
