JOSEPH PARKER has carved out a stellar career since turning pro in 2012 — winning a world title, sharing rings with the division’s biggest names and cashing some serious cheques.
Here’s where his money and his record stand now — plus the latest on his upcoming clash with Fabio Wardley.
What is Joseph Parker’s net worth?
Joseph Parker, born January 9, 1992, in New Zealand, has an estimated net worth of over $5million — roughly £3.9million — according to multiple reports.
That headline figure doesn’t tell the whole story, though, because individual purses from his marquee nights push his career earnings well beyond that baseline.
Parker famously banked a reported $10.4m for his 2018 unification bout with Anthony Joshua — even though he didn’t get the decision that night in Cardiff.
He also earned around £1m against Dillian Whyte in the same year, then approximately £2m for his 2021 rematch win over Derek Chisora.

His March 8, 2024, victory over Zhilei Zhang in Saudi Arabia — staged on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou — was also among his biggest paydays, with estimates up to £2.5m.
What is Joseph Parker’s boxing record?
Parker’s professional ledger includes world honours and meetings with elite heavyweights.
He made his debut in 2012, stopping Dean Garmonsway, and went on to lift the WBO heavyweight title, defending it three times before his 2018 defeats to Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte (both via unanimous decision).
He suffered a third career loss to Joe Joyce in 2022 (KO), but rebuilt in style with a huge points win over Deontay Wilder in Saudi Arabia in December 2023, then outboxed and dropped Zhilei Zhang to claim the WBO interim title on March 8, 2024.
As of 2025, Parker’s record is listed at 35-3-0 (23 KOs) to 36-3-0 depending on source updates; he remains one of the most experienced active heavyweights of his era.
Training and accolades
Parker shifted his main training base to Morecambe after linking up with coach Andy Lee — a move encouraged by close friend Tyson Fury, who even lent Parker his house during a camp.
“Tyson’s giving me his house… I’ve had the best camp,” Parker said at the time, stressing there’d be “no real excuse” on fight night.
He also shone as an amateur, winning Youth Olympic silver in 2010 and finishing fifth at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, before turning over and collecting national honours, including the Order of Merit of Samoa in 2016.
What’s next — Fabio Wardley fight and projected purse
Parker is set to face British heavyweight Fabio Wardley next, with promotional build-up for the showdown already underway.
Expect a healthy seven-figure night for the former world champ, with the ceiling rising if PPV numbers pop.
Parker brings name value, a world-title pedigree and a style that’s become more rounded under Lee — as seen in disciplined wins over Wilder and Zhang.
That combination of credibility and recent form is exactly why a Wardley clash has buzz: it pits a savvy, seasoned operator against a surging British draw, with meaningful stakes for the heavyweight queue.
