British boxing superstar Anthony Joshua has been named the richest Black person under the age of 40 in the United Kingdom, with an estimated fortune of £240 million, according to the latest Sunday Times 40 Under 40 Rich List.

The two-time heavyweight world champion continues to build his wealth both inside and outside the ring. Joshua's estimated net worth has risen significantly from £195 million in the previous ranking to £240 million, placing him among the country's wealthiest self-made young figures.

The Watford-born boxer, who won Olympic gold at the London 2012 Games before becoming a global boxing icon, has earned millions through high-profile fights, sponsorship agreements, commercial partnerships and business investments. His appeal extends far beyond boxing, with endorsement deals from major international brands helping to establish him as one of Britain's most marketable athletes.

Joshua's £240 million fortune places him ahead of fellow boxing star Tyson Fury, who entered the latest Under 40 ranking with an estimated wealth of £162 million. Among athletes under 40, only a small number of British sports stars boast comparable fortunes, highlighting Joshua's remarkable financial success alongside his achievements in the ring.

The Sunday Times Rich List, regarded as one of the UK's most authoritative measures of personal wealth, estimates fortunes using identifiable assets including property, business holdings, investments and other publicly known wealth sources.

Joshua's inclusion among Britain's richest young entrepreneurs, entertainers and sports stars reflects not only his sporting accomplishments but also his evolution into a major business figure. His rise from Olympic champion to one of the country's wealthiest self-made personalities continues to cement his status as one of the most influential British athletes of his generation.
