Anthony Joshua Net Worth 2026: Career, Earnings & Biography

Anthony Joshua is the richest British boxer of his generation. His estimated net worth in 2026 is £240 million, according to the Sunday Times Rich List 2026, which ranked him 8th among British sportspeople.

Early life

Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua was born in Watford on 15 October 1989 and raised in London. He won Olympic gold in the super-heavyweight division at London 2012, the launchpad for his professional career.

Career

Joshua became unified heavyweight champion, holding the WBA, IBF and WBO titles. His defining win came at Wembley in April 2017, when he beat Wladimir Klitschko.

He lost the titles to Andy Ruiz Jr in June 2019, then regained them in the rematch in December 2019, a fight with a reported $57.5 million purse. He then lost twice to Oleksandr Usyk, in 2021 and 2022 — the second fight carried a reported purse of around $40.6 million.

Since then he has fought Francis Ngannou in March 2024 (reported at around $50 million) and Jake Paul in 2025 (reported at around $50 million). A reported $400 million three-fight offer from TKO/Zuffa Boxing in early 2026, which he is said to have declined, comes from a single-source report and should be treated as reported only. The long-awaited fight against Tyson Fury is scheduled for late 2026, with a reported £150 million purse to be shared.

How he made his money

Joshua’s wealth comes from boxing purses and pay-per-view, from sponsorships including Under Armour and Lucozade, and from business ventures run through Sparta Promotions Ltd and the 258 Group — including an investment in the Alpine Formula 1 team.

Net worth over the years

Joshua’s fortune has been built fight by fight since his Olympic gold in 2012 — through the Klitschko win, the Ruiz rematch, the two Usyk fights and the Ngannou and Jake Paul bouts. The Sunday Times Rich List 2026 puts it at £240 million (approximately $320 million). Some US-based roundups give lower figures, such as $204 million, but those are career-earnings figures, not net worth. One report mentions a believed £200 million property portfolio — that is unverified and is not stated here as fact.

Personal life

Joshua was born in Watford and raised in London, and is of Nigerian heritage.
