Inside the Boxing Match of the Year
Get ready for the boxing event of the year! Riyadh Season is bringing together heavyweights Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder for a fight card to remember on December 23. But don't expect a showdown between Joshua and Wilder just yet. Instead, Joshua will be facing off against Otto Wallin. Let's take a closer look at these two fighters and their vastly different lives outside the ring.
Life of Luxury: Anthony Joshua
When it comes to cars, Anthony Joshua knows how to roll in style. Thanks to his partnership with Jaguar Land Rover, he cruises around London in a fleet of luxury wheels. His favorite is a personalized black Range Rover, which he says sets a standard of professionalism. But unlike other boxers, there are no Ferraris or Lamborghinis in Joshua's collection. He's even been generous enough to buy his old gym a new minibus. With an estimated net worth of over £200 million, Joshua certainly knows how to live the high life.
A Humble Lifestyle: Otto Wallin
While Joshua enjoys the finer things in life, Wallin's lifestyle is more pared down. A quick look at his Instagram reveals a sponsorship with Volvo, with Wallin often seen driving their S90 model. With an estimated career earnings of around £1 million, Wallin's garage is nowhere near as flashy as Joshua's. Both fighters prefer roomy SUVs, but Joshua's collection dwarfs anything Wallin seems to have. It's safe to say that Wallin's focus is more on his boxing career than luxury cars.
Generosity Knows No Bounds
Beneath their tough exteriors, both Joshua and Wallin have hearts of gold. Wallin is an avid dog lover and takes great pride in fostering K9s with his girlfriend. Recently, he celebrated the adoption of a pitbull terrier that was in their care. Joshua, on the other hand, has a soft spot for his mum. After his Olympic heroics in 2012, he generously bought her a home in North London. He also bought a penthouse for his ex-girlfriend and their son, despite their split. These fighters know the importance of giving back.

Love and Relationships
While Joshua has always remained tight-lipped about his romances, Wallin seems to have found love. He is reportedly engaged to banker Leilah Diong, whom he met in 2020. The couple keeps their relationship private, but Wallin occasionally shares glimpses of their love life on Instagram. It seems like Wallin is the luckier one in the love department, while Joshua remains focused on his career.
Traveling in Style
With his vast wealth, Joshua is a well-traveled man. When he's not training, he enjoys exotic holidays with his family and friends. Thanks to sponsorships and his massive Instagram following, Joshua often travels in style, with countries and resorts sponsoring his trips to showcase their hottest tourist spots. On the other hand, Wallin recently enjoyed a summer holiday on the Turkish Riviera, where he could be seen shadow boxing on a private yacht. If Wallin wins in Riyadh, expect his yacht to get even bigger!
It's clear that Joshua and Wallin lead very different lives outside the ring. From luxury cars to generous acts and romantic relationships, these fighters couldn't be more different. Will Joshua's lavish lifestyle give him an edge in the upcoming match? Or will Wallin's humble approach surprise everyone? We'll find out on December 23!
