How Tyson Fury's net worth compares to Anthony Joshua's as one far richer
Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury's net worths have been revealed.
In physical terms, there is very little to choose between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. Financially, however, the gap tells an entirely different story. The two British heavyweights are finally set to face one another later this year, with a mouth-watering showdown pencilled in for November.
Yet while the so-called 'Battle of Britain' will determine who holds dominance inside the ring, the battle of the bank balances has already been decided. Despite occupying the summit of the heavyweight division for much of the past decade, Fury finds himself trailing AJ considerably when it comes to personal wealth.
According to the 2026 Sunday Times Rich List, Joshua's net worth stands at £240million, while Fury's trails some way behind at £162m.
The figure represents a substantial jump for Joshua, who was reportedly valued at £195m just twelve months prior. Much of that growth has been credited to his high-profile bout with Jake Paul in December, a contest thought to have netted him a staggering £70m.
As a result, he currently ranks as the third-wealthiest active British sportsman, behind Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton (£435m) and golf icon Rory McIlroy (£325m).

The foundation of Joshua's fortune lies in his meticulously crafted personal brand. While Fury has long marketed himself as an everyman figure, Joshua has constructed his public image more like that of a major corporation than a professional fighter.
AJ's portfolio is packed with profitable, long-standing partnerships with premium brands including Under Armour, Hugo Boss and Land Rover.
Combined with the vast sums accumulated throughout his career, most notably from his two-fight rivalry with Oleksandr Usyk and his devastating knockout triumph over Francis Ngannou, those agreements have helped inflate his fortune to staggering proportions.
Fury's earnings are no less striking, though they have been driven more directly by fight purses than commercial influence. The Gypsy King reportedly pocketed around £42m from his trilogy with Deontay Wilder, while his two spectacular showdowns with Usyk in 2024 are thought to have generated well over £150m.
Within the broader landscape of British sport, both fighters now rank amongst the nation's financial elite. They sit comfortably ahead of household names such as Harry Kane and Andy Murray, both of whom boast estimated fortunes of around £110m, placing them among the wealthiest individuals in the country.
Fury may yet close the gap with another record-shattering payday later this year. But for now, Joshua remains the undisputed heavyweight champion of the balance sheet.
