IT looks like we know what the next big heavyweight fight is.
Rivals Anthony Joshua, 33, and Deontay Wilder, 37, are by lined up for a grudge match in December.
Worth £120m, Anthony Joshua boasts an envious lifestyle
Deontay Wilder looks set to fight Joshua in December
His promoter Eddie Hearn flew to Saudi Arabia last week to hold talks over a potential super-fight for AJ.
And Joshua appeared to confirm that a blockbuster meeting with the Bronze Bomber is on the cards for later this year.
In a video reposted to YouTube by iFL TV from Instagram, Joshua was asked if he’s going to beat Wilder.
AJ responded: “That’s what’s happening, you know what’s going on.”
When asked if the fight was going ahead in December, Joshua replied: “It’s public news we’re getting it down, throwing it down in December.”
The pair have accumulated a huge wealth from boxing.
While Wilder has made around £25million from the sport, that figure is dwarfed by AJ’s reported £170million fortune.
It affords the heavyweight duo a lifestyle to envy. Here’s how they compare.

Cars
Both AJ and Deontay boast an impressive garage, although the American shades it with sheer extravagance.
The pride of his collection is an outrageous £430,000 Lamborghini Aventador he bought in 2015.
This isn’t any old Lambo. No, it’s stylishly wrapped in faux alligator-skin.

Add to that a £347,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom, a £70,000 Hummer H2, custom-made Dodge Challenger costing £40,000 – cars clearly mean a lot to the Alabama native.
He also boasts an incredibly gorgeous £14,500 Suzuki Hayabusa that looks like it should feature in a Mad Max film, as well as a brilliant Polaris Slingshot (£15,500).
Thanks to his partnership with Jaguar Land Rover – which is rumoured to be worth £790,000 a year – AJ rolls round London in his choice of a fleet of luxury wheels, including a customised white Jaguar XJR, worth £93,000.
His favourite motor is his personalised black Range Rover, which he says “looks very professional and sets a standard”.
But AJ doesn’t boast anything as flashy as Wilder, that’s for sure.
Private jet
In 2021, Wilder was spotted flying a private jet ahead of his fight with Tyson Fury with fiancee Telli Swift.
Although, that’s not a life he is accustomed to.
Through Under Armour, one of his many sponsors, AJ gets to use their company jet.

Showing the interior of the £45million black G550 ahead of his trip to the States to face Ruiz for the first time, AJ said: “These type of things aren’t ordinary, in my daily life and in many other people’s daily lives, so it’s a blessing.
“However, my view is even though I enjoy it and the door has been opened for me, I can’t forget to open the door for people who have come with me and the people who aren’t in a position to enjoy this type of luxury.
“I never get too lost in the source and get carried away with these types of things.”
6ft6in AJ has been seen in many glam locations around the world, you can bet he flew their privately for the extra leg room on board.
Homes
Anthony came from humble beginnings on a council estate in Watford.
He bought his mum, Yeta Odusanya her council flat in north London for a mere £185,000 in 2013.
AJ did spend a portion of his hard-earned winnings on a rented property in a north London mansion while he was training for the Wladimir Klitschko fight.
According to a report, the mansion near Lord’s Cricket Ground was worth £27million.

It belonged to South African diamond trader Walter Hennig, and cost AJ around £20,000 per month.
It has been reported his property portfolio includes a £1million property in north London, as well as three homes in Watford totalling £1.5million.
AJ also bought a £500,000 penthouse in north London, for his ex-girlfriend and JJ’s mum, Nicole Osbourne, despite them splitting.
Wilder has stayed true to his roots, buying a £1million property in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Built in 2012, the 5,600 square-foot property boasts four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a two-car garage.
Hardwood floors, an outdoor kitchen perfect for a BBQ are other ace features, as well as a lift to take you down to the basement.
However, the home’s biggest selling point though is its location – sitting above Lake Tuscaloosa.
The views are unparalleled, with trees surrounding the abode – ensuring his complete privacy.
There’s even his personal tram that takes him down into the lake. Now that’s living.
Wags
In-demand AJ is currently single.
Typically, he keeps his love life under wraps, although he recently flirted with talkSPORT presenter Laura Woods – describing her as his dream date.

Wilder is engaged to stunning reality TV star Telli Swift.
She is a household name in her own right in America, featuring on WAGS Atlanta, which aired on E!.
The 36-year-old beauty, who shares a daughter with Wilder called Kaorii, met Wilder at the airport in 2015.
She has since launched the Boxing Wag Association which raises money to support children and families of retired boxers, who have fallen on hard times.
Elaborate ring walks
Being superstar boxers, both AJ and Wilder’s ring walks are legendary.
For the American, it’s an elaborate costume that does the talking.
Often, a mask clad in Swarovski crystals and crafted by Los Angeles-based designers Cosmo and Donato installs some intimidation into his opponents.
AJ has made no secret of his love of music for his ring walks and British rappers.
