Rising star Floyd Schofield Jr. has the biggest fight of his career ahead of him. The Jersey City native will go toe-to-toe against WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson. The fight, scheduled for 22nd February in Riyadh, will be Schofield’s first title shot since he started boxing professionally in 2020. Interestingly enough, Schofield Jr. wasn’t even going to fight Stevenson. 

Initially, Schofield’s promotional stablemate ‘Interim’ WBC lightweight champion William Zepeda was supposed to fight Stevenson as a mandatory challenger. However, due to an injury during Zepeda’s last fight, he had to pull out of the bout. Schofield stepped in as a last-minute replacement. But the question is, how much is Schofield worth, and how much is he getting paid for the fight?

Floyd Schofield Jr.’s 2025 net worth and fight purse history

According to Collage Networth, Floyd Schofield Jr.’s net worth was $1 million by the end of 2024. Since then, ‘Kid Austin’ hasn’t fought anyone else. This means his net worth is likely the same as he heads into his first fight of 2025. However, securing a fight against the WBC lightweight champion on the high-profile undercard of the Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol rematch comes with its own advantages.

Regardless, the purse details for Schofield Jr.’s past fights are a mystery. Still, one thing is clear, the Stevenson fight would be Schofield Jr.’s biggest career payday. And a win here could lead to even bigger matchups, and significantly fatter paychecks in the future.
