Anthony Joshua net worth as heavyweight earns millions from Otto Wallin fight

Anthony Joshua 's net worth could rise to close to £150million tonight when he earns more than £10m for fighting Otto Wallin.

'AJ' returns to the ring against Wallin at the 'Day of Reckoning' event in Saudi Arabia, which also features Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker and several other heavyweight stars. Joshua is hoping a win against Wallin will set up a money-fight against Wilder, as terms have already been agreed for the pair to fight on March 9.

Joshua has earned some massive paydays throughout his boxing career, including £33m when he failed to win his heavyweight world titles back against Oleksandr Usyk last year. 'AJ' earned £10m for his win against Jermaine Franklin in April and around the same sum for knocking out Robert Helenius in August and he will add at least another £10m on top of that this year for fighting Wallin.

Joshua is working with Tyson Fury's ex trainer Ben Davison for his fight against Wallin as it marks his fourth coach in just over two years. 'AJ' split with Robert McCracken after losing to Usyk for the first time, but his stint with Robert Garcia lasted just one fight. Derrick James trained him for his fights with Franklin and Helenius as Davison looks to guide him to a third win this year.

Wilder is hoping an emphatic win against Parker, who Joshua beat on points in 2018, will be enough to earn him a £50m payday to fight the Brit. "I deliver what I was supposed to deliver years ago. I knock AJ out, I deliver what they ran from. I deliver what he asked for $50million for, I'm going to give him a $50m knockout," Wilder told Queensbury Promotions.

Joshua has previously admitted that money is his love language as told The Independent earlier this year: "Money is part of a big jigsaw puzzle. The reason I say 'money' is just because I know how much it helps people. That’s my love language; I can’t be there for you emotionally, I can’t be there physically, because I’m working – but I can wire you some cash!

"I’m not saying money because I’m balling, like I’m getting 50 Range Rovers and saying, 'F*** you, you can’t come and sit in my car'. I’ll get 50 Range Rovers to say, 'Everyone come and feel what it’s like to sit in this Range Rover, and let’s put a plan in place so that you can get one, too'."
