ANTHONY Joshua could put a smile on the faces of boxing fans around the globe if he finally gives Jake Paul the pummelling he’s long been begging for.
Here we take a look at the Olympic gold medallist’s net worth and how much he’s set to bring in from taking the fight with The Problem Child.
What is Anthony Joshua’s net worth?
The 2025 40 Under 40 Rich List pegged Anthony Joshua’s net worth at £195million ($261million), ranking him among boxing’s wealthiest.
This figure reflects fight purses exceeding £219million ($293million), bolstered by business ventures, endorsements and investments.
Standout paydays include £54million ($72million) for his second bout with Oleksandr Usyk in August 2022, £39million ($52million) for knocking out Francis Ngannou in March 2024, and £36million ($48million) from his Andy Ruiz rematch victory in December 2019.
Endorsements with companies including Under Armour, Hugo Boss, Lucozade, EA Sports, Jaguar Land Rover and DAZN also contribute to his massive wealth.
Joshua owns 258 Group, a company managing properties worth over £75million ($96 million) in London, and the boxer holds shares in massive brands including Alpine F1 and DAZN.
He also has a host of luxury real estate, including a vast £40million ($53million) property in Hertfordshire, as well as swanky £26million ($35million), 6,300 square-foot property on Bond Street.
How much is Anthony Joshua earning for Jake Paul fight?
AJ stands to earn an extraordinary payday when he takes on Paul at the Kaseya Center in Miami on December 19.
The ring walks are expected to commence at around 3.30am GMT on Saturday morning (Saturday, 10.30pm ET).
According to multiple outlets, both fighters are guaranteed to receive approximately £70million ($94million) each from a combined purse of £140million ($187million).
But the Watford warrior has revealed this won’t dwarf the other multi-million-pound paydays he’s banked.
When asked if the fight would give him the biggest cheque of his career so far, AJ told TMZ: “Unfortunately, it’s not. Unfortunately it’s not. I want it all.”
A number of revenue streams are involved in the financial structure behind this massive purse.
The fight card is being broadcast globally on Netflix, and after sponsorship deals and endorsement deals are taken into consideration, the total amount each fighter will earn is set exceed 75million ($100million).
Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua – all the info
A true Christmas miracle!
The world will stand still TONIGHT as the face of British boxing, Anthony Joshua, is all set to go up against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
AJ steps in on a month’s notice after Paul’s ‘David vs Goliath’ Gervonta Davis clash was axed due to Tank’s civil suit case.
And Joshua will be desperate not to suffer the same fate as legends Mike Tyson and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, who both lost to YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul.
Particularly as a handsome figure was negotiated to get this Judgement Day deal over the line due to AJ’s DAZN contract.

And The Problem Child’s ownership of Most Valuable Promotions, which has a commercial agreement with Netflix, means he could potentially increase his earnings even further through pay-per-view percentages and bonuses tied to viewership numbers.
On November 16, the night before the fight was finalised, he wrote on X “Stop asking me. $267 Million”, which is the equivalent of £200million — the post quickly went viral and was viewed millions of times.
Paul vs Joshua is going to be a professionally-sanctioned heavyweight fight contested over eight three-minute rounds.
Both fighters will wear 10oz gloves, the professional standard for heavyweights, and follow official Queensbury Rules.
After beating a tired-looking Mike Tyson, Paul called out AJ, saying:
“I want to fight Anthony Joshua – exclusive – because I know I will f***ing beat Anthony Joshua’s ass.
“He doesn’t have a chin, and he has no skill and he’s stiff.
“I love you Anthony, we’re friends, all this s***, but I want to fight you.”
