24 haploid. Egg has 24 haploid too. So when they combine to turn into a zygote, the zygote has 48 diploid. I learned this at school. And it is in a textbook.
Sperm cells are haploid cells, since they are created through meiosis.
A typical human male has one set of haploid chromosomes in his sperm cells, which amounts to 23 chromosomes. However, in terms of total haploid cells, a male produces millions of sperm, each containing that single haploid set. Therefore, while a male has one haploid set of chromosomes in each sperm, the total number of haploid sperm cells can be in the millions.

Sperm cells are haploid as they contain half the original starting material from the parent cell.
Gametes are haploid cells. They are more commonly known as sperm and egg cells.
Somatic (body) cells are diploid. Sex cells (gametes) are haploid.
Sperm is haploid, meaning it contains half the number of chromosomes as a normal body cell. This allows the sperm to combine with an egg during fertilization, resulting in a diploid zygote with a complete set of chromosomes.
