Given his immense talents in the ring, here at SportsCasting we have decided to take a look at the Jai Opetaia net worth. This includes his career earnings, biggest purses and endorsements from boxing as the single best cruiserweight boxer in the world.
Jai Opetaia Net Worth
Jai Opetaia was last seen in action as he returned to Australia on January 8 to defend his Ring Magazine & IBF World Cruiserweight Titles. Opetaia was a reasonably big favourite with the best UK bookmakers to defeat David Nyika in their world title fight, which he did with a destructive knockout in Round 4.
2025 could be the best year of Jai Opetaia’s career to date. Unifications against the likes of ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez, Badou Jack or Noel Mikaelian could well be on the cards. Whatever Opetaia does next, he will likely go into the fight as the overriding favourite with the best boxing betting sites in the UK regardless of the opponent.
As of today, Jai Opetaia’s net worth is said to be estimated at £2 million according to All Famous Birthday. The Australian cruiserweight boxer has seen a huge rise in his net worth over the past few of years, mainly due to his bouts with Jack Massey, Mairis Briedis and Ellis Zorro in Saudi Arabia.
He has had some other big purses throughout his career too of course, but has been earning extremely lucratively more recently. This is partly down to the fact that a lot of his recent fights have been put on by His Excellency Turki Alalshikh on his huge Riyadh Season cards. More on his career earnings later.
Opetaia’s net worth is almost entirely down to his success inside the boxing ring. Some of Opetaia’s sponsors will also help enhance his net worth going forward. He has various different sponsorship deals to his name which we will look into further in this article.

Jai Opetaia Career Earnings & Biggest Purses
Jai Opetaia has been a professional boxer since he made his debut back in August 2015. Since then, Opetaia has had 26 more professional bouts, earning more money as his career has progressed. Hence why the Jai Opetaia net worth has inflated massively of late.
The 29-year-old Australian boxing superstar has seemingly earned far more money since stepping up to world level back in 2022. Opetaia beat Mairis Briedis as a big underdog to become champion, defying his odds and putting the world on notice as to just how good he really is.
Opetaia reportedly took home somewhere in the region of £200k for the first Briedis fight, also becoming the IBF World Cruiserweight & Ring Magazine Champion in the process.
This is reportedly the fifth largest purse of his career to date, behind his earnings for the ‘Day Of Reckoning’ bout with Ellis Zorro in Saudi Arabia at the back end of 2023 on the Anthony Joshua undercard and his last fight against David Nyika.
His second biggest career purse came in the Briedis rematch on the Fury vs Usyk undercard. The Aussie reportedly earned somewhere in the region of £500,000 for the fight, which he won against the Latvian via unanimous decision.
The largest purse of his career reportedly came against Jack Massey on the Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol undercard, once again in Saudi Arabia. Opetaia reportedly took home $1 million, which equates to around £750k. A career-high purse for the best cruiserweight fighter in the world.
It is estimated that Jai Opetaia has earned somewhere in the region of £3 million in his boxing career to date. This figure will catapult in the coming years, as the Aussie looks to fight in huge unification bouts and the biggest fights available to him at cruiserweight.
