Net worth & personal profile
Anthony JoshuaNet Worth
The £240M estimate tested against audited Sparta Promotions accounts, the Jake Paul event, 258 businesses, one son and the still-unfinished Tyson Fury negotiations.
Anthony Joshua’s best-known 2026 wealth estimate is £240 million from the Sunday Times Rich List. Celebrity Net Worth separately publishes $250 million. Audited accounts for Joshua-directed Sparta Promotions show £166.07 million of group net assets at February 27, 2025, but a company balance sheet is not Joshua’s personal net worth. Because the estimates use different currencies and neither discloses a complete personal balance sheet, the structured value remains blank.

The essentials
The Sunday Times Rich List put Joshua at £240 million in May 2026; Celebrity Net Worth publishes a separate $250 million estimate. Neither is an audited personal balance sheet. [2]
Sparta Promotions’ amended audited accounts report £41.51 million turnover and £25.65 million post-tax profit for the year to February 27, 2025. These are group results, not personal income. [6]
The same accounts show £36.35 million cash and £166.07 million group net assets. Company assets, intercompany receivables and liabilities cannot be copied into Joshua’s personal balance sheet. [6]
The estimate · Company accounts · Boxing · Jake Paul · Business & family · Evidence
Anthony Joshua’s old profile displayed a $285 million midpoint, repeated leaked fight-purse claims and said a Tyson Fury bout was signed for a fixed personal payday. The underlying sources do not support that precision.
This review applies the Net Worth VIP methodology. It separates personal wealth estimates, company accounts, event audience, gross fight economics, property businesses and money actually retained by Joshua.
01 / The estimate
£240 million is a respected estimate, not an audited personal balance sheet
ITV’s report on the 2026 Sunday Times Rich List places Joshua eighth among Britain’s wealthiest sportspeople at £240 million. Sky News explains that the Rich List assesses identifiable wealth such as land, property, art and quoted-company shares.
Celebrity Net Worth publishes $250 million and builds a narrative from reported fight pay. That figure uses a different currency and opaque assumptions, so it is not a direct confirmation of the £240 million Rich List estimate.
Neither publisher discloses Joshua’s complete personal cash, securities, real-estate equity, private-company ownership, trusts, taxes and liabilities. The structured value therefore remains blank rather than converting two publisher models into a midpoint.
02 / Audited company evidence
Sparta Promotions shows the scale of the business — and the limit of company accounts
Companies House shows that amended group accounts for Sparta Promotions to February 27, 2025 were filed on August 12, 2026. The accounts identify Anthony Joshua as director and describe two operating divisions: professional-boxing services and marketing services for sponsorships and endorsements.
The audited statements report £41.51 million turnover, £25.65 million profit after tax, £36.35 million cash and £166.07 million group net assets. No dividends were paid in that financial year; the prior year recorded £10.1 million.
Those figures belong to a corporate group at one balance-sheet date. The £166.07 million includes investments and large receivables, while liabilities and corporate tax sit inside the same accounts. Ownership, distributions, other entities and Joshua’s personal assets and debts are still required before company equity can inform personal net worth.
03 / Boxing career
Olympic gold, two title reigns and a 29–4 professional record
Team GB confirms that Joshua won London 2012 super-heavyweight gold at age 22. He turned professional in 2013, won his first world title from Charles Martin in 2016 and reached a global breakthrough by stopping Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley in 2017.
ESPN records two unified heavyweight title reigns, the 2019 rematch win over Andy Ruiz Jr., two losses to Oleksandr Usyk and the 2024 stoppage loss to Daniel Dubois. After the next bout, Joshua’s record stood at 29–4 with 26 knockouts.
Headline purses reported around major fights are generally gross reconstructions. Promoter and broadcaster settlements, training camp, management, sanctioning fees, tax, foreign-exchange timing and investments stand between an event headline and retained wealth.
04 / Jake Paul and the crash
The Netflix win is verified; the supposed $92 million payday is not
Netflix and Associated Press confirm that Joshua stopped Jake Paul in round six in Miami on December 19, 2025. Netflix later reported 33 million global viewers. Audience and result are primary facts; Joshua’s final purse is not.
The old profile treated a leaked $184 million total purse and a roughly even split as if both were settled. No primary contract, commission disclosure or promoter settlement reviewed verifies $92 million for Joshua, and a speculative tax calculation cannot repair the missing gross-pay evidence.
Ten days later Joshua was injured in a road crash in Nigeria that killed his friends and team members Sina Ghami and Latif “Latz” Ayodele. AP reported that Joshua sustained minor injuries and was discharged from hospital. The event belongs in the current biography, but it is not a financial input.
05 / Business, family and next fight
258 broadens the business while the Fury bout remains unfinished
258 MGT describes athlete management, sponsorship, contract negotiation, image rights and career development. 258 Investments describes a long-term UK freehold-property strategy. These operating footprints do not disclose Joshua’s exact equity, property debt, distributions or current personal portfolio value.
Joshua has one son, Joseph “JJ” Joshua, with former partner Nicole Osbourne. No current partner, marriage or additional child is reliably confirmed in the sources reviewed, so older dating speculation is not presented as current fact.
Sky Sports reported on September 11, 2026 that the Joshua and Tyson Fury camps were still negotiating, with Cardiff and Wembley among possible venues and November or December discussed. Manager confidence is not a finalized public contract; the page assigns no future purse.

Common questions
Questions, answered
What is Anthony Joshua’s net worth in 2026?
The Sunday Times Rich List estimated £240 million in May 2026. Celebrity Net Worth separately publishes $250 million. Neither source supplies a complete audited personal balance sheet, so this profile does not convert them into one structured value.
How much did Anthony Joshua make for fighting Jake Paul?
Netflix and Associated Press confirm Joshua’s sixth-round knockout and Netflix reports 33 million global viewers. The widely repeated $92 million personal payday comes from an unconfirmed purse split, not a released contract or settlement, so it is not treated as fact.
How much is Anthony Joshua’s company worth?
Sparta Promotions reported £166.07 million of group net assets at February 27, 2025. That is company equity on one accounting date, not Joshua’s personal net worth; ownership, distributions, other entities, tax and personal liabilities remain separate.
Is Anthony Joshua fighting Tyson Fury?
As of September 11, 2026, the camps were still negotiating and several UK venues and late-2026 dates were being discussed. No finalized public date, venue or purse was established in the reliable sources reviewed.
Does Anthony Joshua have a wife or children?
No current wife or partner is reliably confirmed. Joshua has one publicly documented son, Joseph “JJ” Joshua, with former partner Nicole Osbourne.
