We haven’t seen Liam Smith in the ring ever since his defeat against Chris Eubank Jr. back in 2023. At the time, Beefy looked like a fighter out of his depth on the last legs of his career. Many have given up on the idea of seeing the Merseyside lad back in the ring. However, here he is, at 36 years old, trying to turn back the clock.
The former WBO super welterweight champion will face Aaron McKenna on April 26, coincidentally on a card headlined by none other than his last opponent, Eubank Jr., and Conor Benn. Despite being out of the ring for more than a year, Smith claims there is no lack of motivation. Furthermore, he believes that this fight is his opportunity to climb up again in a rather thinned-out middleweight division.
However, before getting into the technicalities of the bout, let’s take a look at how much Liam Smith is earning from his shot at redemption. Furthermore, what were his career earnings and net worth before this bout?
Liam Smith’s 2025 net worth and endorsements
As mentioned, ‘Beefy’ has been out of the ring for more than a year and has maintained a low profile outside the ring. So, it is quite a predicament to pinpoint his current exact net worth. However, various reports place his estimated net worth at $6 million as of 2025.
While boxing remains his primary source of income, he has partnered with several brands throughout his career, including the likes of Adidas and Everlast. However, at the moment, he is not actively partnered with any brand. Over the years, these partnerships have helped his global reach and have contributed significantly to his career earnings. Maybe, after a successful return, he can regain his popularity amongst young UK boxing fans and once again attract significant brands.
How much does Liam Smith earn? Boxing fight purse & salary
Despite multiple sponsorship deals, the Liverpool native earns primarily from boxing fights. His fight purses may shed some light on his overall earnings and net worth. Over the years, Smith has been involved in many high-profile bouts against Canelo Álvarez, Eubank Jr., and Liam Williams. According to reports, his highest payday came in a losing effort against Canelo Álvarez in 2016, where he took $1.5 million home.
It was also his first career loss, and it took him some time to rebuild. However, in 2021, against Anthony Fowler, he was once again back in the six-figure category with a fight purse of $200,000. Ever since then, his career has been on an upward trajectory. In 2022, he faced Jessie Vargas for the vacant WBO Intercontinental light middleweight title.
Not only did he take the title, but he also earned a significant purse of $225,000. Later in the year, he earned his 32nd career victory against Hassan Mwakinyo with a payday of $275,000. Smith’s rise through the ranks earned him his two biggest fights against Chris Eubanks Jr. For two fights, where he won one and lost the other, Liam Smith took home a combined $1.47 million purse.
And even though his purse against Anthony McKenna is still not revealed, we can presume it will be between $250,000 and $350,000, given it is the biggest UK boxing event of the year so far. A victory here would once again propel him into the middleweight ranks, positioning him for big clashes. And given the division is slimmed out, a few good performances can even establish him as a title contender. But what’s your take? Will Liam Smith make a successful comeback?
