Anthony Joshua Net Worth Hits $150 Million And Surpasses Lennox Lewis In Wealthiest Boxers List

Having emphatically knocked out Francis Ngannou in two rounds at ‘Knockout Chaos’, we have decided to take a look at where he sits in boxing history in terms of net worth. After his three wins in 2023 and an emphatic knockout in March 2024, Joshua’s net worth has surpassed fellow British heavyweight great Lennox Lewis.

Anthony Joshua Net Worth Hits $150 Million Mark

Anthony Joshua is one of the biggest names in the sport of boxing. After losing back-to-back fights to Oleksandr Usyk, Joshua has bounced back in 2023 with three emphatic wins. Not to mention his emphatic two round demolition job of Francis Ngannou last time out. ‘AJ’ is well and truly back.

Now, Anthony Joshua’s net worth has officially hit $150 million dollars and in turn surpasses fellow British heavyweight boxer, Lennox Lewis.

The 34-year-old reportedly earned somewhere in the region of $32 million in total in 2023. $12 million for his fight against Jermaine Franklin in April, $10m for his fight with Robert Helenius in August and $10 million for his bout with Otto Wallin at ‘Day Of Reckoning’.

This means ‘AJ’ has now overtaken the great Lennox Lewis on the list of wealthiest boxers to ever step foot in a ring. ‘AJ’ will likely have climbed even higher on that list now, having pocketed a reported $50 million for his emphatic KO of Francis Ngannou in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in March 2024.

From winning a gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics, then turning professional a year later, Anthony Joshua has gradually earned more and more money in his boxing career. He fought in 12 consecutive world title fights prior to the Franklin fight, hence why he is such a wealthy man.

He is a huge commercial draw for sponsors, as well as carrying the British boxing scenes single-handedly for years before the re-emergence of heavyweight rival Tyson Fury. ‘AJ’ is without a doubt one of the biggest names in the sport of boxing. The likes of Fury,  Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and even Jake Paul now are earning hundreds of millions of dollars per-fight now too.

Since winning his maiden world title back in 2016 against American heavyweight Charles Martin, Joshua has earned hundreds of millions of dollars. More about Joshua’s career earnings later in this article.

Now, Joshua’s net worth is expected to rise once more following his upcoming fight against Francis Ngannou. Not only that, but his net worth could well hit the $200 million dollar mark if he is to continue fighting for another few years, and has big fights with the likes of Tyson Fury or perhaps Deontay Wilder.

Anthony Joshua Career Earnings

Anthony Joshua has had 31 fights as a professional boxer since making his debut back in 2013. As his career has progressed, not only has Joshua picked up multiple world title belts, but he has also earned millions upon millions of dollars.

Since stepping up to world level back in April 2016, Anthony Joshua has continued to earn huge paycheques fight after fight. He is one of the biggest names in the sport of boxing, bar none. Despite not being a world champion anymore, ‘AJ’ is arguably the biggest cash cow of the sport outside of Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.

Having had such a long and successful career to date and having been involved in some of the biggest fights in recent boxing memory on multiple occasions, it will come as no surprise to learn that the former two-time heavyweight world champion has earned mind-boggling sums of money throughout his boxing career.

Up until now in his professional boxing career, Anthony Joshua’s total career earnings in the ring equates to roughly $425 million. This is right up there with some of the highest earners in recent boxing history.

The two biggest purses of course came for Joshua’s two previous Saudi fights against Andry Ruiz Jr and Oleksandr Usyk respectively. ‘AJ’ earned $75 million for each of these fights.

His third biggest purse came last time out against Ngannou, with the British heavyweight taking home a sum of around $50 million for his two round blowout of the former UFC Heavyweight Champion.

Joshua’s career earnings trump the majority of other boxers. The fact ‘AJ’ has earned somewhere in the region of $425 million purely from boxing is impressive. Not to mention the fact that figure will continue to increase as his career goes on.

Below is a list of Joshua’s last 10 fights and how much he reportedly made in each of the respective bouts.

Anthony Joshua Endorsement & Sponsorship Deals

Another reason why Anthony Joshua’s net worth is so great and recently hit the $150 million mark is due to the fact he is incredibly marketable.

Joshua has at least 10 sponsors, all who will be paying big bucks to have their brand associated with the former two-time world heavyweight champion. Given the fact ‘AJ’ has been one of the best heavyweights in the world for over seven years now, it comes as no surprise to learn that sponsors are queuing up to get on board the Anthony Joshua hype-train.

Not only is Joshua an elite fighter, but he talks well, looks well and means well. All of these traits are factors that have led to Joshua being the commercial colossus that he is today. One of Joshua’s biggest sponsors is Under Armour. The London man is at the very forefront of the Under Armour brand, alongside a whole host of huge celebrity names like Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

Joshua also has a long list of other sponsors who are likely paying him millions of dollars too. These sponsors include Beats Electronics, Lucozade, JD Sports, EA Sports, Bulk Powder, Hugo Boss, Jaguar, Audermars Piguet and William Hill.

Perhaps Joshua’s biggest commercial deal is the five year contract he signed with boxing live streaming platform DAZN. In 2022, DAZN announced that Anthony Joshua would be the face of their brand, paying the former unified heavyweight champion in excess of $125 million over a five year period.

All of these sponsors, along with his earnings inside the ring are all huge factors in the growth of Joshua’s net worth.
