Anthony Joshua Richer Than Kane, Fury As Net Worth Rises To €232m (16926 Views)

Great100000: 1:53am On May 19

British-Nigerian boxing star Anthony Joshua has emerged richer than England football captain Harry Kane and heavyweight rival Tyson Fury as his net worth has soared to €232m, according to the newly published Sunday Times Rich List.

The two-time heavyweight world champion has seen his earnings increase by a whopping €24m from €208m last year to €232m currently.

Joshua has also been listed among the wealthiest under-40s in the UK, sitting in 24th place.

Despite his impressive financial standing, Joshua isn’t the number one athlete on the Sunday Times’ list.

That accolade belongs to golf star Rory McIlroy. The 36-year-old is worth a jaw-dropping €304m compared to his value of €263m a year ago.

McIlroy’s earnings saw a huge spike last month after he finally got his hands on the Masters, and in doing so, achieved a career grand slam. The win saw him scoop €3.68m, which saw his total PGA Tour prize money go beyond €117m.

Joshua’s rise on the rich list has seen him stay ahead of the likes of Harry Kane, whose €117m value placed him at No.38 in the list. The only other name included on the staggering list from the world of sport was Andy Murray, who placed at 35 with €128m.

The boxing sensation hasn’t fought since suffering a devastating knockout to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium last September. It looked like the pair would square off in an immediate rematch, but ‘AJ’ suffered a slight setback after picking up some minor injuries in the first encounter.

Over the last few years, the heavyweight boxer has become accustomed to pocketing life-changing paydays. It was reported that he earned around €35m for his second-round KO of Francis Ngannou last year.

Joshua reportedly banked a guaranteed €7m following his defeat to Dubois—but roughly took home around €29m in total following pay-per-view sales.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Tyson Fury was crowned the highest-paid boxer in 2024, ahead of rivals Oleksandr Usyk and Joshua, according to Sportico.

In total, the ‘Gypsy King’ pocketed a total sum of $147m (€137m)—with $140m (€131m) coming from salary/winnings, whilst the final $7m (€6m) came from endorsements.

From endorsement deals alone in the world of boxing, Joshua earned the t-most, featuring alongside Jake Paul.

However, in of the highest-paid athletes in 2024, ‘AJ’ didn’t feature in the top 20. Instead, the Brit was placed at 30, pocketing a grand total of $60m (€56m) last year, with $50m (€47m) coming through salary/winnings.

That's the beauty of boxing, even if you keep losing matches back to back like this dude, you still get paid heavily.

I'll never understand boxing. This is someone that has spent the better part of the past two years being pounded like a bag of fufu in the village square. How is his net worth increasing?

Cuppy sha.

Lovely...!

You can't be collecting such heavy and dangerous brain-rearranging punches for nothing less than fortunes.

The smart thing is to retire early, invest your money wisely, avoid hooking up or marrying desperate hoes, and you might just be made for life!
