Joshua buys £25million property on one of London’s most expensive streets
The 33-year-old London 2012 legend earned around £20m for his decision triumph over Jermaine Franklin at the Greenwich O2 on Saturday night
Boxing superstar Anthony Joshua is splashing £25milllion of his mega-money fortune on a property on one of London's most exclusive streets.
The 33-year-old London 2012 legend earned around £20m for his decision triumph over Jermaine Franklin at the Greenwich O2 on Saturday night.
And this week he is set to win another big-bucks battle a few stops down the Jubilee line for the posh 73 Bond Street.
The former WBA, IBF and WBO king is rumoured to be worth in excess of £170m thanks to his two world title reigns, giant broadcast deals with Sky and now DAZN, as well as his range of blue-chip sponsors.
And - while most of histories greatest boxers have been infamous for blowing their hard-fought earnings on wine, women and song - our AJ is wisely investing in bricks and mortar.
A source close to AJ said: “He has always had his eye on the bigger picture when it comes to business and wealth.
"He eclipses most other stars when it comes to how to handle great wealth.”
Joshua's next money-spinner in the ring could be a rematch against Dillian Whyte.
AJ knocked Whyte out back in 2015 - avenging his amateur loss to the Brit.
But Joshua also has his sights on WBC champion Tyson Fury - answering fans' chants for the clash during his post-fight interview.
He said: "You know me, I like to provide for the fans. I know who the fans want. Who do the fans want?
"They said Fury? The ball is in his court, I will 100 per cent be honoured to compete for the WBC heavyweight championship of the world.
"I stand here and say that proudly, it would be an honour, so wherever you are if you're listening. You know my management, you know my promoter.
"We've had dialect before, so let's continue this and hopefully we can get this on sooner rather than later. We ain't getting any younger."
Fury is searching for an opponent after negotiations for an undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk collapsed last month.
Meanwhile, Usyk, who beat Joshua in 2021 and 2022, is set to take on WBA mandatory Daniel Dubois.
