Anthony Joshua’s £200m property portfolio as boxer buys penthouse before Jake Paul fight | Boxing | Sport

Anthony Joshua has put together a property portfolio which is said to be worth a staggering £200million. The 36-year-old boxing sensation added to his portfolio by purchasing a £1.2m penthouse apartment in Oman in the lead up to his fight against Jake Paul.

Joshua is set to step into the ring at the Kaseye Centre in Miami, Florida, on Friday night to face Paul. The duo are expected to enter the ring at around 3.30am on Saturday morning UK time, with Joshua the overwhelming favourite to secure an easy win against the YouTuber-turned-boxer. And the bout will be shown live on Netflix.

Joshua, who is a two-time heavyweight world champion and has been tipped to finally take on Tyson Fury next year, has clearly focused some of his attention on his endeavours outside of the ring during his illustrious career.

And, according to The Sun, the Watford-born star has splashed the cash to snap up a 15,300 sq ft penthouse in Sultan Haitham City, with the deal taking his overall property portfolio up to an estimated value of around £200m.

The publication revealed that his purchase will see him become both a resident and investor in phase two of the Yenaier Residences development.

The apartment comes with 360-degree panoramic views and a private boxing gym built to Joshua’s specifications. It also has a dedicated spa and custom-designed interiors.

Before buying the penthouse, AJ purchased a £35m commercial property on Baker Street in central London.

The 2012 Olympic gold medallist also owns a commercial building in Bond Street, which set him back £25m, and a commercial premises in Mayfair.

His company, 258 Investments, has also procured two residential houses in north London as well as three homes in Watford worth £1.5m.

And the boxer previously spent £30m to acquire a 301,000 sq ft building in Hertfordshire, which had been used by oil company BP as their headquarters.

Following his latest purchase, AJ said: “Discipline, community, and long-term thinking have shaped everything I do in and out of the ring. Yenaier represented those same principles. I am proud to be an early investor in what will become a truly world-class address.”

And Adante Realty chief executive, Dr Aadil Alexander, explained: “Our partnership with AJ is symbolic of the development’s global trajectory.

“He shares our belief in long-term value and thoughtful urban design, and strategic support strengthens our commitment to deliver a landmark neighbourhood that elevates Sultan Haitham City on the global stage.”
