Anthony Joshua is set to invest £25 million of his vast wealth on a house which is located on one of the most exclusive streets in London.
Having earned £20million for his unanimous decision win against Jermaine Franklin on Saturday night, the 33-year-old is well placed to continue investing some of his fortune. Having become one of the most recognisable stars in British sport in recent years, the London 2012 gold medallist is also enjoying great success away from the boxing ring, exemplified by his recent investment.
The property is located at 73 Bond Street, with the Sun reporting that the investment is set to be made after AJ beat a number of rival bidders to the exclusive address. The fighter has built an impressive net worth of a reported £170m for a highly impressive career which has seen him twice become a world champion, most notably selling out Wembley Stadium in 2017.

This is in addition to a number of lucrative commercial partnerships forged by the former WBA, WBO and IBF champion, with broadcast partnerships with DAZN and Sky Sports in addition to deals with brands such as Lynx, Lucozade and Under Armour.
Also reported by the Sun, a source close to Joshua is quoted as saying: “He has always had his eye on the bigger picture when it comes to business and wealth." They added. "He eclipses most other stars when it comes to how to handle great wealth.”
With the star still able to draw in £20 million purses for non-world title contests, the Watford born fighter still has plenty of earning potential ahead of a prospective fight against Dillian Whyte this summer. This could precede a fight against Tyson Fury in the future, with that fight having the potential to be the biggest ever in British boxing history.
