Follow Us
Anthony Joshua made more money than any other British sportsperson over the past 12 months. How did Joshua achieve such an incredible feat? Well, his fight with Andy Ruiz Jr. certainly helped.
Joshua lost his titles to Ruiz in June 2019. However, he recaptured them just a few months later. The rematch, which took place in Saudi Arabia, generated over £58m in revenue for Joshua. Consequently, his wealth rose to a whopping £107m.
Joshua is second to footballer Gareth Bale (Real Madrid star) on the Sunday Times’ Young Rich List. Bale has an estimated fortune of £114m. The 30-year-old boxer is the only non-footballer to make it to the top 20.
