Inside Anthony Joshua’s $100M Boxing Net Worth

British Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua has significantly increased his wealth, nearly adding $100 million to his career earnings from boxing matches.

Based on information gathered by Black Elite, Joshua recently pocketed over $50 million (£30 million) from his recent heavyweight match against Francis Ngannou.

In 2023, Forbes reported that Joshua earned about $53 million, which includes his three wins against Jermaine Franklin.

Breakdown of Joshua’s Financial Earnings

Financial records from Joshua’s Sparta Promotions company show an impressive £41.3 million earned during the 2022/23 financial year.

This big amount doesn’t include earnings from the Helenius and Wallin fights, but it’s estimated that Joshua made around £10 million for both those wins.

On the other hand, Ngannou, who made $20 million, debuted in the ring against Tyson Fury in October. Despite knocking down the heavyweight champion, he controversially lost. After his loss to Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia, Ngannou apologized to his fans.

The Cameroonian fighter faced a knockout loss in the second round against the former world heavyweight champion.
