Anthony Joshua splashes huge sum on property in just 18 months as he lives up to ‘Landlord’ nickname

BOXER Anthony Joshua is packing a punch in the property game — after splashing out £150million in the last 18 months.

Joshua, who was beaten by fellow Brit Daniel Dubois in a Wembley title fight last month, has become known as The Landlord.

Pals said the two-time heavyweight champ is a fan of Monopoly and joked: “He wants to buy up the board.”

Watford-born AJ’s latest acquisition is a £35million property on Baker Street, central London, that he plans to let out to businesses.

He also has posh pads in Mayfair.

A source said: “AJ is a shrewd businessman and is pumping his money into property.

"He is inundated with investment opportunities but he doesn’t rush into anything.”

AJ, 34, paid £30million for Breakspear Business Park in Hemel Hempstead, Herts, and has backed a number of start-up businesses.

He also invested in the Alpine F1 team in a group he put together with golfer Rory McIlroy and NFL player Travis Kelce, boyfriend of Taylor Swift.

Meanwhile, AJ is pushing for an IBF rematch with Dubois, who won with a fifth-round knock-out.

Yesterday, his promoter Eddie Hearn said he was keen to fight as early as February.

He added: “My initial thought after the fight was, ‘Let’s just chill out, maybe wait for the result of Fury-Usyk’.

“AJ’s reaction was quite a bit different.

"He is leaning towards the rematch.”
