With four straight victories, Anthony Joshua’s comeback in recent years has seen him reach his peak. The 34-year-old has a flawless record in the ring and has restored his reputation after losing to Oleksandr Usyk twice.
In his previous four fights, the Watford-born heavyweight has defeated Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin, Francis Ngannou, and Jermaine Franklin Jr. 96,000 spectators are expected to attend his Saturday matchup against fellow Londoner Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight world title at Wembley Stadium.
Joshua is seven years older than Dubois, who has won six of his past seven bouts. He has already defeated Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic in Riyadh after falling to Usyk more than a year ago.Everyone will be watching from Wembley Stadium to see if Joshua can keep up his impressive performance against a hungry opponent. Though there is still a lot of talk about a potential fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, it seems unlikely that the two British heavyweights would ever square off.
The Manchester Evening News has examined Joshua’s fortune and net worth twelve years after he shot to fame at London 2012. This is ahead of Saturday night’s battle against Dubois.
What is the net worth of Anthony Joshua?According to the most recent Sunday Times Rich List, Joshua has an astonishing £175 million in net worth.
As of May 2024, Joshua’s net worth is estimated by Forbes to be $83 million, or £62.8 million. Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, maintained that, financially speaking, the 34-year-old is far ahead of Fury.
“No, AJ, definitely AJ,” was his response to GRM Daily when they asked “The Gypsy King” if he was the most prosperous boxer in the UK. Over the past three, four, and five years, Fury has amassed substantial wealth. For the past ten years, AJ has been pursuing large pay-per-views and expensive site fees.
“He’s also the first fighter to have signed big endorsement deals with brands like Beats, Lucozade, and Under Armour. Large, well-known brands are supporting him.”When Joshua defeated Andy Ruiz Jr. in 2019 to reclaim his WBA, WBO, IBO, and IBF championships, he received a career-best purse of £66 million. When Joshua defeated Ngannou earlier this year, he allegedly took home £31 million.
Joshua stated in February, “Money, money, money,” clearly expressing his desire to make a lot of money. “I like to make money, period. My family and I have experienced financial hardship, so I understand what this s*** means.
“I’ve always established enterprises outside of boxes because I’m afraid of starting over from scratch… But nobody will be interested in me after I’m done. While I’m here, I’ll make the most of it.”
Based on Celebrity Net Worth, Fury’s estimated net worth is £68.12 million. The Gypsy King continues to reside in his opulent home in Morecambe, using his incredible wealth to stay connected to his and his family’s heritage.
