Anthony Joshua enjoys treating his family to a number of lavish gifts, including a £500,000 penthouse for his ex-girlfriend and a brand new Range Rover for his mum

Anthony Joshua is one of the wealthiest athletes on the planet – meaning he has more than enough cash to splash on luxury gifts for his family.

The unified heavyweight champion of the world, who is set for two lucrative battles with domestic rival Tyson Fury next year, has been ranked 19th on Forbes’ list of highest-paid athletes in 2020.

He is said to have raked in a total of $47million [£38million], despite not actually lacing up the gloves this year, while his net worth stands at a reported $80million [£64million].

And according to The Sun, Joshua’s family certainly reap the rewards of his success.

The 30-year-old is said to have forked out £500,000 on a penthouse in Finchley, north London, for ex-girlfriend Nicole Osbourne – who is the mother of his son JJ.

He has also made sure to spoil his mum, Yeta Odusanya, on a number of occasions in the past.

And after landing a sponsorship with Jaguar Land Rover, he later treated her to a brand new Range Rover.

Nevertheless, Joshua’s generous spending does not stop there.

He also rewards his huge entourage with luxury holidays, shopping trips, nights out and flights by private jets.

AJ even treated his first ever boxing coach, Sean Murphy of Finchley Amateur Boxing Club, to a holiday in New York.

“He came in the gym and said, ‘Are you coming to New York? I’ve sorted it all out – you’ll come out three days before and three days after the fight and have it as a holiday,’” Murphy said.

“He’s sorted out me, my wife and the other coaches at my gym.”

Joshua famously surprised Murphy with a £95,000 BMW in 2017, which his old trainer initially found difficult to drive.

“I’m a builder by trade and used to vans and pick-up trucks so this is like a Rolls-Royce to me,” he laughed.

“I couldn’t even start it when I got in it because it’s keyless. He was just laughing at me struggling!”
