Anthony Joshua Immediately Purchased Property Of IDR 465 Billion After Winning Over Jermaine Franklin
JAKARTA - Former world heavyweight champion twice, Anthony Joshua (AJ), immediately spent 25 million (Rp465 billion) to buy property after winning over Jermaine Franklin.
The gold medalist at the 2012 London Olympics earned around 20 million after winning over Jermaine Franklin at the O2 Arena, London, on Saturday last weekend.
The money, along with additional wealth previously, was used by Joshua to purchase property on one of London's most exclusive roads, British media outlet The Sun reported.
The former WBA champion, IBF and WBO, is reported to have a fortune of more than 170 million thanks to their two world titles, a giant broadcast deal with Sky, DAZN, and various big sponsors.
Joshua also uses his wealth wisely, compared to other boxers who often spend their hard work on spree. He is good at investing to double his fortune.
He's always seen a bigger picture in terms of business and wealth. He surpassed most other stars in terms of how to regulate a large amount of wealth, said a source close to AJ as reported by The Sun.
After a win over Franklin, Joshua is said to have immediately prepared a rematch against Dillian Whyte. AJ hit KO Whyte in 2015 as well as avenge his amateur-level defeat to the British boxer.
In addition, Joshua is also eyeing WBC champion Tyson Fury. However, this duel is likely only the end of this year because Joshua is said to still need one game this summer before challenging Fury.
Fury is currently looking for an opponent after negotiations for an undisputed heavyweight title unification battle against Oleksandr Usyk failed last month.
Meanwhile, Usyk, who defeated Joshua in 2021 and 2022, will face mandatory boxer WBA Daniel Dubois.
