Take one look at Anthony Joshua and you'll see an 競技者 built like a god who is a smart talker - but under the surface is a man who has been 刻々と building an empire since his プロの／賛成の debut ten years ago.??

The British heavyweight - who fights American Jermaine Franklin at the O2 円形競技場 on Saturday - started off in ボクシング with his mantra 'stay hungry, stay humble', but he has made no secrets of his lofy ambitions.?

One of those is to become the greatest 闘士，戦闘機 of all time and 奮起させる youngsters. He is a 抱擁する 役割 model for thousands of children across the UK who want to get into ボクシング. But we also know money is a big motivator for him too.?

'When I first started, the 目的（とする） was to become a multimillionaire,' he told GQ in 2017. 'But now there are ordinary people, grandmas and granddads, who are 価値（がある） millions just because of 所有物／資産／財産 prices. So the new school of thought is that I need to be a 億万長者.?

'存在 a millionaire is good, but you have to 始める，決める your sights higher. If I'm making £10million from my next fight, my next 的 has to be making ten times that. And if I get to £100m-150m, why not go for the billion? I know self-made 億万長者s. It's hard, but it's possible.'?

Anthony Joshua has 認める money is his 'love language' ahead of his 近づいている fight?

Joshua has enjoyed a rags to riches story after growing up on a 会議 広い地所 in Watford - and now 誇るs a 抱擁する car collection and lavish lifestyle?

That might be a stretch for a boxer. Floyd Mayweather has （人命などを）奪う，主張するd to be 価値（がある） more than £1billion and his 愛称 is literally 'Money'. He is 13 years Joshua's 上級の and has had time to build an empire of fighting 促進するing, 展示 fights, 商品／売買する and 裏書，是認s.??

Joshua has a way to go to reach that level. Today, he is believed to have around £109m in the bank, によれば the Mirror, after more than １０年間 of multi-million fights and 後援 取引，協定s. But the position he finds himself in is impressive given where he started.?

His story is a rags-to-riches tale of a man who grew up on a 会議 広い地所 with an 早期に life of 原因（となる）ing trouble and 麻薬-取引，協定ing, run ins with the police and 法廷，裁判所 dates. An electronic tag on his ankle for a period as he fought his way up the 階級s.

After finding success in the 2012 Olympics and 存在 catapulted into fame and fortune, he has not shied away from flaunting his wealth. We know Joshua is something of a petrolhead - that's 反映するd in an impressive car collection he has amassed over the years.?

His garage is 価値（がある） around £1m and 含むs a £150,000 範囲 Rover SVO - which was custom made with his 指名する inscri bed in the tread plates - and a £93,000 white Jaguar XJR. This is one of his favourite cars that he treasures so dearly - because it makes him stand out.?

Joshua owns?a £150,000 範囲 Rover SVO and even a?£600,000 Rolls Royce Phantom stretch

'When I pull up in a Jag, it's like a watch,' he told the 後見人. '確かな watches, everyone has, but there are 確かな watches only a few people know about. The Jag is a car that only 確かな people know about.'?

And that's before we even について言及する his £600,000 Rolls Royce Phantom stretch, his £146,000 Mercedes v8 BiTurbo or his 比較して 'modest' Audi A3 S-Line.??

He hasn't forgotten his loved ones around him though. He immersed his mother Yeta in his love of cars by 購入（する）ing a 範囲 Rover for her - and also bought a house in north London for her 支援する in 2013.?

That was his first 投機・賭ける into the 所有物／資産／財産 world - he's now made やめる a 示す. Between 2019 and 2020 he spent around £7.5m on 所有物／資産／財産s, によれば the Mirror, with his total 支出 on new homes coming to around £10m.?

Joshua has already made moves に向かって becoming a promoter and has 調印するd a handful of young 星／主役にするs to his 管理／経営 company 258 管理／経営. But he's also waded into the 住宅 market by setting up 258 投資s - which run his 所有物／資産／財産 empire for him.?

Joshua is said to have around £109m in the bank after building up a number of 裏書，是認s and a 商売／仕事 empire featuring a 管理／経営 company and 商品／売買するing arm?

He has over a dozen 所有物／資産／財産s in his 大臣の地位 - 含むing one 価値（がある） £1m in north London and three in Watford 価値（がある） a 連合させるd of £1.5m.

Joshua is a smart man. He has his own website where fans can get kitted out in his AJBXING gear - selling ボクシング gloves, sportswear, hats and fitness 従犯者s.

He has 取引，協定s with Jaguar Land Rover, William Hill, Hugo Boss and sports 巨大（な） Under Armour - who have taken him around the world on their 私的な jet. Those 取引，協定s earned him?£8,453,578 in the year to February 2021.?

However, that 星／主役にする 商業の 力／強力にする has looked to be fading わずかに - after it was 明らかにする／漏らすd Joshua's 258 group lost around £3m in 後援s after he was beaten by Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 - the fight that saw him 放棄する his world 肩書を与えるs. ?

In the その後の 財政上の year, up to February 2022, his 裏書，是認s almost fell off a cliff, with the company bringing in just £5,527,952, which 量 to a loss of 35 per cent.

Joshua - who would go on to lose to the Ukrainian again last August - remains a 抱擁する draw and high profile 人物／姿／数字 にもかかわらず his 欠如（する） of world 肩書を与える belts. But it's no surprise that he's so keen to get 支援する into 論争 for the biggest fights and the lucrative rewards they 約束.?

He says money is his biggest motivator ahead of his 一区切り／（ボクシングなどの）試合 with Jermaine Franklin on Saturday

The 33-year-old has already been 約束d a money-spinning 一区切り／（ボクシングなどの）試合 with his nemesis Tyson Fury this summer if he can steer past Franklin this 週末. A fight of that magnitude could be 行う／開催する／段階d in Saudi Arabia - whose 公式の／役人s were putting up a 記録，記録的な／記録する 場所／位置 料金 of £125m when the 一区切り／（ボクシングなどの）試合 was 最初 planned in 2021.?

Joshua told Hearn what the main thing 押し進めるing him was during his first 圧力（をかける） 会議／協議会 for this fight.

'Money, money, money,' Joshua said. 'I like making money. Straight up. This is a prizefighting sport.

'I've been broke. My family has been broke. I know what this s*** means and I do it because I'm good at it and I hustle hard.

'When it's all said and done no-one will care about me no more. So, I've got to make the most of it while I'm here.'

Money is Joshua's buzzword at 現在の. In his own words - it's his 'love language' that he uses to help his people, like he's done for his mother, his friends and his 側近. It's not a 道具 to 誇る, he says, but one that helps him support those he cares about.?

Joshua is often seen enjoying lavish holidays in Dubai and relaxing with his 側近

The heavyweight has been pictured all over the world enjoying the comfortable lifestyle he has developed over the last １０年間?

'Just at this time, money is the first thing that comes to mind,' he told the 独立した・無所属 this week. 'Money is part of a big jigsaw puzzle. The 推論する／理由 I say "money" is just because I know how much it helps people. That’s my love language; I can’t be there for you emotionally, I can’t be there 肉体的に, because I’m working ? but I can wire you some cash!?

'I’m not 説 "money" because I’m balling, like I’m getting 50 範囲 Rovers and 説, "F*** you, you can’t come and sit in my car". I’ll get 50 範囲 Rovers to say, "Everyone come and feel what it’s like to sit in this 範囲 Rover, and let’s put a 計画（する） in place so that you can get one, too".'

Spreading the love - as Joshua would put it. He's been seen on countless holidays where he's enjoyed trips to Dubai, riding around on jet-skis with his closest friends and larking about in swimming pools and rooftop 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業s.? ?

Recently he's been hard at work in his training （軍の）野営地，陣営 with trainer Derrick James in Texas ahead of his fight with Franklin, but in 最近の years Joshua has been spotted on skiing trips, sipping coconuts on the beach - and even shadowboxing at the 最高の，を越す of a 超高層ビル.? ??

Perhaps Stay Humble does not やめる fit the persona of AJ anymore - but his fairytale rise to the 最高の，を越す of the sport, and the 王朝 he has (1)偽造する／(2)徐々に進むd - is one to be admired.
