The 28-year-old Parker has amassed a net worth of $5 million according to recent estimates. The paycheck for the Opelu fight will provide a healthy boost to Parker’s total earnings and net worth. For Opelu, the payday isn’t confirmed. However, the opportunity to face a contender like Parker on a big stage can open doors to higher-paying fights in the future.
In conclusion, Parker’s recent victory over Opelu has further established him as one of the sport’s most exciting fighters. And while it remains to be seen how much money he will ultimately earn from his boxing career, there is no doubt that he has already established himself as one of the sport’s top earners.
