A two-time heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua is one of the most recognizable names in boxing.
In the ring, Joshua has provided fans with memories that can last a lifetime. Outside of it, his influence has reached far beyond what any other boxer has been able to accomplish over the years.
Turning pro in 2013, Joshua is a former Commonwealth, British, and WBC International heavyweight champion. He has held the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles twice. The 32-year-old Joshua is set to face off against Oleksandr Usyk on August 20. It is a rematch for the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles. The fight will take place in Saudi Arabia.

Per Celebrity Net Worth, Joshua has a net worth of about $80 million. In 2020, Forbes had him earning around $47 million.
Joshua told GQ he has a goal of becoming a top earner in boxing and sports in general.
"When I first started, the aim was to become a multi-millionaire," Joshua stated. "But now there are ordinary people, grandmas and grandads, 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."
Per Celebrity Net Worth, when Joshua beat Wladimir Klitschko in 2017 and won the WBA and IBO heavyweight titles, he made about $17 million. Against Andy Ruiz Jr. inside Madison Square Garden, Joshua earned about $25 million (that includes fight night incentives). After he lost to Ruiz, Joshua activated his rematch clause. In Saudi Arabia in December 2019, Joshua earned $60 million and won the rematch against Ruiz.
When Joshua lost to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021, Total Sportal had Joshua earning about $20 million.
