<p>Boxing legend <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/boxing/boxer-profiles/anthony-joshua">Anthony Joshua</a> is worth somewhere between $225 million and $300 million AUD, depending on who's counting. The Sunday Times Rich List pegged him at around £195 million (~$380M AUD) in 2025, making him one of the wealthiest athletes in Britain.</p> <p>That's precisely what you’d expect from an Olympic gold medallist and two-time unified heavyweight champion who has managed to fill the Wembley Stadium in London twice already.</p> <p>The 36-year-old from Watford has earned over $250 million USD across his boxing career. And unlike a lot of fighters who blow through their earnings, Joshua has been smart about where it goes.</p> <h2>How Anthony Joshua Made His Money</h2> <p>Joshua's wealth comes from three main sources: fight purses, endorsements, and property investments. The fight purses are enormous. The endorsements are consistent. And the property? He owns a significant portfolio, including a commercial property on Bond Street in London.</p> <p>Since turning professional in 2013, Joshua has commanded <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/boxing/news/highest-paid-boxing-matches">some of the biggest fight purses in boxing history</a>. His rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia reportedly earned him $85 million USD for one night's work. That's his career-high single payday.</p> <p>But the big purses started rolling in after he beat Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley in 2017 - as that’s the fight that changed everything for him.</p> <p>That evening, Joshua walked away with £15 million GBP, plus a reputation as the most bankable heavyweight on the planet.</p> <h2>Anthony Joshua's Biggest Fight Purses</h2> <p>Here's a breakdown of Joshua's major paydays:</p> <ul> <li>Andy Ruiz Jr rematch (2019): $75-85 million USD</li> <li>Francis Ngannou (2024): $50 million USD</li> <li>Oleksandr Usyk rematch (2022): $44 million USD</li> <li>Andy Ruiz Jr first fight (2019): $25 million USD</li> <li>Alexander Povetkin (2018): $25 million USD</li> <li>Joseph Parker (2018): $22 million USD</li> <li>Wladimir Klitschko (2017): £15 million GBP</li> <li>Daniel Dubois (2024): Purse not fully disclosed</li> <li>Carlos Takam (2017): £10 million GBP</li> </ul> <p>Total career earnings from boxing alone sit around $250 million USD, an impressive number that puts him in rare company alongside Canelo Alvarez, Floyd Mayweather, and his British rival Tyson Fury.</p> <p>And yet, that does not seem to be enough for him, as Joshua has said publicly that he wants to surpass Mayweather's reported $1.1 billion USD career earnings. "Being a millionaire is good, but you have to set your sights higher," he told GQ in 2024.</p> <p>"The new school of thought is that I need to be a billionaire."</p> <p>Big words. But when you've already banked nearly $300 million USD by 36, maybe not that unrealistic.</p> <h2>Endorsements</h2> <p>Joshua is one of the most marketable athletes in Britain. Clean image, articulate in interviews, looks good in a suit. In other words, sponsors love him.</p> <p>His endorsement portfolio includes Under Armour, Hugo Boss, Lucozade, Jaguar Land Rover, Beats by Dre, EA Sports, and William Hill.</p> <p>According to Forbes, that translates into additional earnings for around $8 million USD every year.</p> <p>The Jaguar partnership is particularly fitting and Joshua has been photographed driving various Range Rovers and Jags over the years. Whether he actually drives them or just poses with them for the cameras is another question.</p> <h2>Property and Investments</h2> <p>This is where Joshua separates himself from most boxers and you can really see his business acumen - as he owns a property portfolio worth a reported £150 million.</p> <p>His biggest acquisition was a mixed-use block on Bond Street in Mayfair, central London, which cost him over £25 million. He also dropped another £20 million on a nearby property in Dering Street.</p> <p>Both are within walking distance of some of the most expensive real estate in the world. Smart locations and steady rental income: the kind of assets that keep paying long after the last bell rings.</p> <p>He also owns two homes in north London worth a combined $8 million AUD. One of them he bought for his mother back in 2017.</p> <p>That’s not all, since back in 2023, Joshua joined an investment group backing the Alpine Formula One team. He hasn't disclosed how much he put in, but it adds another revenue stream and connects him to one of the world's most exclusive sports.</p> <p>He also has his own clothing line, though details on that are sparse.</p> <h2>How Does Joshua Compare to Other Boxers?</h2> <p>Joshua ranks among the highest-earning boxers of all time, and Celebrity Net Worth lists him seventh on their all-time richest boxers list.</p> <p>For comparison:</p> <ul> <li>Floyd Mayweather: $1.1 billion USD+ career earnings</li> <li>Canelo Alvarez: $800 million USD+ career earnings</li> <li>Tyson Fury: $160 million USD net worth</li> <li>Jake Paul: $80 million USD net worth</li> </ul> <p>Joshua has out-earned Fury in career purses, despite Fury holding the lineal heavyweight title for longer. That's partly down to Joshua's willingness to fight in Saudi Arabia, where the money is absurd.</p> <h2>What About the Jake Paul Fight?</h2> <p>Joshua is reportedly earning a guaranteed $50 million USD for <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/ufc/fighter-profiles/jake-paul-vs-anthony-joshua-fight-2025">the Jake Paul fight on December 19, 2025</a>. If that figure holds, it would be his second-biggest career payday behind the Ruiz rematch.</p> <p>Some have criticised Joshua for taking the fight. Frank Warren called it a "car crash waiting to happen." Others say he's cashing out against an opponent he should beat easily.</p> <p>Either way, another $50 million USD will push Joshua's career earnings closer to the $300 million mark. Not bad for a bloke who was laying bricks and getting into trouble as a teenager.</p>
