Do you know Jake Wyllie? Don’t worry, you won’t be blamed if you’ve never heard of him. Professionally, he has been fighting for the last five years. But the mainstream boxing community appears barely aware of this young Australian prospect. Suddenly, his name has been thrust into the headlines. Call it sheer providence. Had Indonesian fighter Daud Yordan not pulled out, Wyllie wouldn’t have received an opportunity to face former unified lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr.
Tomorrow, in what many expect to be an exciting night, the Matchroom-DAZN show will feature a stacked card. Headlined by the George Kambosos Jr.-Jake Wyllie fight, fans will see WBC featherweight champion Skye Nicolson defend her title from Tiara Brown. For Wyllie, it’s a career defining moment. There’s a rousing curiosity. Many fans want to know how much Wyllie and Kambosos Jr. will receive for the fight that wasn’t wasn’t even scheduled in the first place. In terms of his net worth and previous fight purses, let’s check out and see where Jake Wyllie stands.
Jake Wyllie’s net worth 2025
Details regarding Jake Wyllie’s current financial standing remain scare. However, ‘Sporty Salaries’ claims that the 24-year-old Queenslander’s current net worth stands in the neighborhood of half-a-million dollars. Boxing appears to be the major source of income.
Jake Wyllie made his in 2020. On July 11 of that year, in front of a home crowd in Queensland, he defeated Thailand’s Prasong Wichuma via first-round KO. Thereafter, fighting consistently, he piled up an impressive record. However, on February 18, 2023, Wyllie faced his first major setback when fellow Queenslander Faavesi Isaako knocked him out in the third round.
But the upset failed to deter the young fighter. What followed was an unbeaten streak, with all the fights ending in early stoppage. The run came to a halt when last month, on February 26, the fight with the Philippines’ Allan Villanueva ended in a ‘no-contest.’
How much does Jake Wyllie earn? Boxing fight purse
According to ‘Sport Salaries,’ for the Kambosos fight, Jake Wyllie’s guaranteed purse stands in the vicinity of $250,000. Additionally, he will receive a 30% share of the revenue generated from pay-per-view (PPV) buyouts. Subject to the sales, his overall take-home is projected at around $575,000. A career-best payday for the young prospect.
Now compare it with his previous earnings. For the Villanueva and last year’s Dylan Emery fights, he received $30,000 each. Before that, fights against Nahathuch Paharn and Wachirasak Waiyawong fetched a combined purse of $50,000. Combining the Ashley Huston fight, where he received around $50,000, Jake Wyllie’s total earnings in 2024 stood around $130,000.

Consider this: on June 29, 2022, when he fought Queenslander Patrick Clarke for the first time, Jake Wyllie received $7,000. A few months later, a rematch followed, and Wyllie’s purse swelled to $10,000. In 2023, the young fighter fought a record five times. Purses varied. Beginning with $10,000 it rose to $25,000 when he fought Kye MacKenzie. Jake Wyllie’s annual income for 2023 stood in the neighborhood of $72,000.
Clearly, to receive a matchup where he will fight a former world champion is a big leap for Jake Wyllie’s career. The match may unfold on predictable grounds. Few give Wyllie any chance to defeat ‘The Ferocious’ Kambosos. But even in defeat, young Wyllie stands to win. Having a big name in his resume will only improve his bargaining power for the upcoming fights.
Do you think George Kambosos Jr. should have fought someone else than a completely unheralded fighter?
