After the British heavyweight champion had a successful 2023, Anthony Joshua’s firm, Sparta Promotions Limited, has benefited from an increase in equity in the last 12 months.
In three fights this year, the 34-year-old boxer defeated Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius, and Otto Wallin to earn a rematch with Alexander Usyk after losing two straight to him in 2021 and 2022.
Joshua, one of the most well-known sportsmen on the planet with a staggering 16.9 million Instagram followers, ranked 28th on Forbes’ list of the highest-paid athletes worldwide in 2023.
According to the publication, Joshua has a current net worth of over £41 million ($53 million) and has continued to amass wealth in 2024, spending an additional £39 million for his fight in Saudi Arabia against Francis Ngannou.
That occurred even before he entered the ring, where he would defeat the previous UFC heavyweight champion with a decisive second-round knockout.
Anthony Joshua, a heavyweight from Britain, seems to be establishing his future beyond boxing.
Joshua has previously had partnerships with Land Rover, Hugo Boss, and Under Armour.
However, 2023 proved to be a highly profitable year for the British boxer, with £35.9 million in earnings reported by his firm.
In addition, Sparta Promotions’ stock has increased once again among his sponsorship agreements, commercial ventures, and activities, bringing the company’s valuation to £129 million.
With the former heavyweight champion having to pay about £7 million in taxes last year, it represents a roughly £30 million increase in its equity worth for 2022.
‘When I first started, the aim was to become a multimillionaire,’ he told GQ in 2017.
‘But now there are ordinary people, grandmas and granddads, who are worth millions just because of property prices. So the new school of thought is that I need to be a billionaire.
‘Being a millionaire is good, but you have to set your sights higher. If I’m making £10million from my next fight, my next target has to be making ten times that. And if I get to £100m-150m, why not go for the billion? I know self-made billionaires. It’s hard, but it’s possible.’
His is a rags-to-riches story of a man who was raised on a council estate and became well-known following his Olympic achievement in 2012.
Equity in Sparta Promotions has increased once more, bringing the company’s worth to £129 million.
With his incredible knockout of Francis Ngannou, AJ demonstrated that he was truly back to his best.
AJ is now preparing for his next move after Frank Warren disclosed that he could take on Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia in March of next year.
Joshua possesses an impressive collection of high-end vehicles valued at about £1 million. These vehicles include a £150,000 Range Rover SVO, which was personalized with his name engraved on the tread plates, and a £93,000 white Jaguar XJR. He owns more than a dozen houses, including a £1 million home in north London.
In addition to having relationships with Hugo Boss, William Hill, Jaguar Land Rover, and Under Armour, he has his own apparel brand, AJBXING.
Fighters who box in Saudi Arabia get financial rewards; Tyson Fury, for example, received £39 million for his victory over Francis Ngannou in the ‘Battle of the Baddest’ last year.
With his incredible knockout victory against Ngannou at the beginning of the month, AJ, on the other hand, demonstrated that he was genuinely back to his best.
Now that the Gypsy King has battled Oleksandr Usyk twice, Frank Warren has disclosed that he may be preparing to take on Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia in March of the following year.
