Then came Oleksandr Usyk. Two losses, but the checks didn’t bounce. For their first fight, Joshua made roughly £15 million. The rematch in 2026? He took home about £35 million. Losing never looked so lucrative.
Here’s a funny fact: Joshua’s career earnings are now estimated at over $200 million. That’s more than the GDP of a small island nation. He could buy his own island, then fight on it.

Funny Tax Brackets and Lamborghinis
Think about the math. If you earn £50,000 a year, you’d need to work 1,320 years to match his single fight against Ruiz Jr. He probably spent that money on taxes alone. His accountant probably wears a helmet.
Also, Joshua blew some of his early cash on a Supercars collection. He owned a Ferrari LaFerrari, a Bugatti Veyron, and a Porsche 918 Spyder. That’s about £5 million just sitting in his garage. He once said he drives them every day. His neighbors must hate him for the noise.
