To put it in perspective: Joshua earned about $15 million for his first fight with Andy Ruiz Jr. (which he lost, by the way). His second fight with Ruiz? $20 million. His two fights with Oleksandr Usyk? $25 million each. So, his last bout is right in the top tier of his career earnings.
If you’re keeping score at home, that’s over $120 million in his last five fights alone. Anthony Joshua doesn’t just fight; he mints money. I’m pretty sure his punching bag is made of gold bars. Or at least it should be.
The Taxman Takes His Cut
Let’s not forget the boring part—taxes. UK tax laws are a beast. If Joshua lives in the UK (he does), he’ll lose about 45% of that to HMRC. So, while he earned £30 million, he’ll keep about £16.5 million. Still, that’s enough to buy a fleet of Lamborghinis and a few homes in Monaco. If I had his cash, I’d invest in a personal ice cream taster. Priorities, people.
And don’t forget his team: trainers, managers, lawyers, and that one guy who carries his water bottle. They all get a piece. But even after deductions, Joshua is sitting on a net worth of over £100 million. He’s not just a boxer; he’s a human ATM with a jab.
