Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua was born on 15 October 1989 in Watford, Hertfordshire, the son of Yeta and Robert Joshua. His mother is Nigerian, while his father is of Nigerian and Irish ancestry. Joshua’s Nigerian background can be specifically traced back to the Yoruba people, amongst whom he is of aristocratic rank. His cousin, Ben Ileyemi, is also a professional boxer. The pair made their professional debuts together in 2013.
Net Worth
According to the Sunday Times Rich List, Anthony Joshua’s net worth is a staggering £115 million. His life hasn’t always been so great when it comes to money. He bought his first set of weights from Argos and managed to get a job as a bricklayer.
