“Strikes Me as the Sort of Guy That’s Intelligent Enough to Invest Well”: Anthony Joshua’s $186 Million Achievement Sends Shockwaves Through Boxing World

‘The Times’ released the list of the wealthiest people in the UK for the year 2023. Besides the uber-rich three hundred-fifty, they also had a list of young, under thirty-five money spinners. As far as the boxing fraternity goes, it may not have surprised many who found Anthony Joshua‘s name. With an approximate wealth, reportedly in the neighborhood of £150 million or $186 million, the former world champion stood thirteenth on ‘The Sunday Times Rich List – Under 35.’

The thirty-three-year-old boxer, incidentally, was the only boxer besides the Mexican ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, whose name was mentioned in Forbes’ list of the wealthiest athletes recently. According to the portal Celebritynetworth.com, Anthony Joshua’s net worth stands in the periphery of $80 million. He lost the last two consecutive fights to the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk. However, he reportedly made around $92 million from the two matches in 2021 and 2022. He returned to the ring this year on April 1 against the American Jermaine Franklin and took home $12 million.
