Over the past 18 months, two-time world boxing champion Anthony Joshua, has made strategic investments, including acquiring a formidable £150 million property empire through his company, 258 Investments.

The boxer's investments extend to London's upscale neighbourhood, New Bond Street, where he has a £25 million block that features retail shops, office spaces, hospitality, and medical tenants.

Added to his diverse streams of income is The Bonds Mayfair Gastropub, which he purchased for £20 million, per Slimfit. Here, he generates profits from food, drink, and commercial rent.

A £750,000 lease for a massage business partner also diversifies his assets.

Unlike many athletes chasing endorsements, Joshua focuses on long-term wealth through steady rental income and premium assets.

His strategy emphasises generational wealth, contrasting sharply with short-term financial gains.

Further reports say that Anthony Joshua secures long leases with commercial tenants in prime locations, in order to achieve a consistent cash flow.

He has continued with his vision of building a lasting legacy outside the ring.

His real estate empire not only complements his boxing career but also sets a precedent for athletes worldwide.
