OFFICIAL REPORT: ANTHONY JOSHUA’S MASSIVE TWO HUNDRED MILLION PROPERTY PORTFOLIO REVEALED BEFORE FIGHT
Anthony Joshua faces Jake Paul in a $187 million Netflix mega-event. Discover AJ's net worth, property empire, and fight payout.
Anthony Joshua is a big-name heavyweight boxer. He's a two-time world champ but caught everyone's eye when he won gold at the 2012 London Olympics. He has a fight coming up with Jake Paul, which should be another huge payday for him.
Here's the lowdown:
1. Joshua Is One of the Wealthiest Boxers Ever
As of 2025, this dude's worth a cool $150 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. He's definitely made it into the top earners in boxing history. He's been in over 30 pro fights and has raked in over $275 million. He gets crazy money because he brings in the pay-per-view buys, meaning he gets a big base salary plus a cut of the profits from the broadcast.
Joshua's got big goals. He told British GQ he wants to be a billionaire. It's a tough goal, but he thinks he can do it.
2. Joshua's Record-Breaking Paydays
Joshua's biggest payday was back in 2019 when he fought Andy Ruiz Jr. in the rematch. He made around $57.5 million that night!
In early 2024, he made around $50 million for knocking out Francis Ngannou. And he walked away with over $40 million for the rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, according to Sports Illustrated.
3. Joshua's Got a Huge Real Estate Collection
Through his company, 258 Group, Joshua has been buying property like crazy. Forbes says his portfolio is worth around $200 million. He bought a former oil company HQ in Hertfordshire for almost $40 million, plus a $33 million mixed-use building in London's Mayfair.
4. Big Endorsements
Joshua’s a hit because he’s got a clean image. Companies like him a lot, and he makes about $8 million a year from endorsements with brands like Under Armour, Hugo Boss, and Lucozade. Now, he holds shares in DAZN, the streaming service, and recently joined an investment group for the Alpine F1 team.
5. Joshua vs. Jake Paul: The Money on the Line
Joshua is fighting Jake Paul on December 19, and it's going to be live on Netflix.
Paul told Netflix that he will win against Anthony Joshua.
Joshua, who's 36, said that anyone can fight him, and he is coming back with a big show. He also said he is going to break the internet with Jake Paul's face.
Word isthat both fighters are getting around $94 million each from a total purse near $187 million. Since the fight is streaming worldwide on Netflix, that brings even more money from sponsors.
TYSON FURY BLASTS ANTHONY JOSHUA AFTER DANIEL DUBOIS STOPS FABIO WARDLEY IN MANCHESTER
Tyson Fury has labelled Anthony Joshua "chinny" after Daniel Dubois secured the WBO heavyweight title against a resilient Fabio Wardley.
Tyson Fury wasted no time after Daniel Dubois stopped Fabio Wardley this past weekend, using the moment to take a shot at Anthony Joshua.
Dubois picked up his second heavyweight title Saturday night in Manchester, grabbing the WBO belt from Wardley in a wild, bloodied battle that’s already being called a fight of the year candidate.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing for Dubois, though. He hit the canvas twice in the first three rounds but bounced back hard, battering Wardley late and leaving his face a mess as the final bell sounded.
Wardley never actually went down during the fight, despite looking wobbly near the end. Credit to him for sheer toughness, but Dubois still beat him decisively. This was Dubois’ first victory since his massive upset over Anthony Joshua earlier in 2024, when he floored AJ four times in one night.
On Sunday, Fury chimed in about Dubois’ latest win. With his own fight against Joshua rumoured for later this year on Netflix, Fury saw an opening to stir the pot.
“Just been thinking about Dubois’ crazy fight last night,” Fury said. Dubois fought [Jarrell] Miller, stopped him, but never put him down. He fought. [Filip] Hrgovic stopped him but never put him down. Fought Wardley last night and stopped him, but didn’t put him down. He hit Usyk with bombs but didn’t drop him. But against Anthony Joshua? Drops him five times.”
Fury added, “I’m not saying Joshua’s got no chin, but facts are facts. Take it however you want. Nobody else went down, not Miller, not Hrgovic, not Usyk, not Wardley. But Joshua hits the deck five times? Chinny, get up, slink!”
Fury is coming off a comeback win over Arslanbek Makhmudov and has already signed on to fight Joshua this year. Joshua will warm up first against Albanian heavyweight Kristian Pregna in Saudi Arabia on July 25 before facing Fury.
Promoter Frank Warren says Fury vs. AJ will probably land in October, though Fury might want another tune-up, which could push things back a bit.
As for Dubois, he’s got options. There’s talk of a rematch with Wardley, a chance to settle the score with Usyk in a trilogy, or a domestic showdown with Moses Itauma. Dubois’ dad, Stan, told talkSPORT he’d rather see his son fight another British heavyweight next, not Usyk.
HOW DANIEL DUBOIS SURVIVED TWO KNOCKDOWNS TO STOP A BLOODY FABIO WARDLEY
"I had to dig deep." Read Daniel Dubois' full reaction to his stunning comeback victory against Fabio Wardley in Manchester.
The punch that changed everything wasn't thrown by either of the fighters.
Fabio Wardley came out blazing in his title defence, dropping Daniel Dubois just 10 seconds in. He did it again in the third round, making it look like his big night. But then, something strange happened. As Dubois got up after the fourth round, his trainer, Don Charles, slapped him hard on both cheeks.
That’s when Dubois woke up. “I had to make him realise what he needed to do,” Charles said afterwards. It’s not exactly the kind of thing you see at team-building seminars, but it worked. Dubois turned on, and suddenly Wardley’s reign started to unravel.
Wardley had picked Dubois for the first fight since collecting the WBO belt that Oleksandr Usyk dropped. Honestly, it looked like a smart pick: he dropped Dubois twice and set the tone. But after that slap, Dubois started seeing Wardley’s moves coming; those wild lunges became easier to dodge.
He landed his stiff jab and followed up with savage right hands. Wardley’s jaw somehow took the hits, but his nose was pouring blood, and his right eye was almost swollen shut. He kept pushing forward, showing crazy heart, while Dubois just kept piling on. The fight turned into a brutal spectacle, the kind you can’t look away from.
Wardley got checked twice by doctors but kept fighting. Honestly, it could've stopped before the second-to-last round, when referee Howard Foster finally stepped in. Dubois got his second world title; Wardley, battered and worn, just managed a thumbs up to his mum.
Dubois summed it up later: “I had to dig really deep. When you’re a warrior, you go to dark places. I was nervous at first, all over the place, and had to fight my own battles. That slap woke me up. My dad and everyone were in my corner; I couldn’t let them down.
“Fabio came to fight; he was tough. We were exhausted; it was a real war. I had to use all my skills to win. Great fight, great battle, and I’m No. 1 again.” Sure, Usyk might argue about that, but Dubois proved something; he got up off the canvas and won.
People have called Dubois a quitter since the Joe Joyce fight six years ago. Wardley himself thought Dubois would fold again in Manchester, and for three rounds it looked like he was right until reality snapped Dubois awake.
