SUMMARY
- Anthony Joshua will be aiming to take down Otto Walin on the ‘Day of Reckoning’ in Saudi Arabia.
- It's even more astonishing that Joshua has fought just 29 fights in his career.
British boxer Anthony Joshua is all set for his final fight of the year against Otto Walin on December 23. With already two victories in 2023, Joshua will be aiming to take down Walin on the ‘Day of Reckoning’ in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, let’s take a look at Anthony Joshua’s net worth and how he ranks compared to the richest boxers from the United Kingdom.
Having described the fight as a career-decider, the stakes are very high for Anthony Joshua. The British boxer has had three defeats throughout his career so far. And he certainly would be hoping that tomorrow wouldn’t be the day for his fourth defeat. However, win or lose, Joshua is expected to earn $10 million from his fight against Walin. He would also earn a massive $40 million from his fight against Deontay Wilder in March 2024.

A two-time former world heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua is one of the richest boxers in the world. According to reports, Joshua’s net worth as of 2023 stands at a massive $80 million. It’s even more astonishing when we look at the fact that Joshua has fought just 29 fights in his career. However, the British star is also highly marketable and has signed some very lucrative endorsement deals.

The 34-year-old boxer has sponsorship deals signed with brands and companies like Under Armour, Jaguar, Hugo Boss, Audemars Piguet, Electronic Arts, Sky Sports, and so on. Besides his off-the-field earnings, Joshua also rakes in millions of dollars from his fights. However, Joshua’s biggest payday will be for his double-header against Wallin and Wilder.
Anthony Joshua is not the richest boxer in the United Kingdom
While Anthony Joshua may be one of the richest boxers in the world, he isn’t even the richest boxer in the United Kingdom. According to reports from GiveMeSport, Joshua is only the third-richest British boxer. The richest British boxer in the world is now a retired boxer and three-time World Heavyweight Champion Lennox Lewis.
Lewis‘ current net worth is estimated to be around $140 million. The 58-year-old former boxer once defeated the legendary Mike Tyson, a fight that reportedly brought him $50 million and had a then-record PPV buy-rate of 1.95 million buys. The 35-year-old boxer Tyson Fury occupies second place on this list with a net worth of $130 million.
The World Boxing Council heavyweight title holder since 2020 is one of the best boxers of all time. Fury has a list of mouth-watering sponsorship deals, with WOW Hydrate being one of his main sponsors. He also has his own retail line and energy drink, known as Furocity. In addition to this, the ‘Gypsy King’ has also earned handsomely from his fights, with his biggest purse being $30 million coming from his bout against Deontay Wilder in 2021.
