REVEALED: Anthony Joshua worth £45m more than Mike Tyson

British boxer Anthony Joshua may have lost his heavy weight titles to Mexican Andy Ruiz, but the Nigerian born Pugilist is still swimming in money it has been revealed.

The 30 year old who is currently shaping up ahead of his December re-match in Saudi Arabia, is thought to be worth £48m about N22billion.

In comparison Joshua according to Daily Star is worth £45m more than boxing legend Mike Tyson, once worth in excess of £233m but now thought to be down to £3m.

AJ will hope to re-take his title December 7 in Saudi Arabia a feat which will further shoot his worth upwards.  Recall that after seeing off the legendary Wladimir Klitschko in 2017 and subsequently becoming a sporting superstar, Joshua’s next fight against Joseph Parker earned the likeable ace £18m.

Meanwhile construction is being intensified at the arena to host what has now been dubbed the battle of December in boxing circles.
