Boxing icon Floyd Mayweather spent Christmas adding to his lucrative property portfolio with a lavish £15.7million purchase. The 47-year-old’s up-to-date mansion is located on Sixth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan and reportedly occupies almost a quarter of the block.

Mayweather began his property journey in October, purchasing 60 properties for £315 million. His interest in his latest purchase stemmed from his spending at the stores down the street.

The building, located at the southeast corner of the intersection at 47th Street, consists of offices, several jewelry stores and a huge billboard. This is an attractive part of Recent York City, located a few minutes east of Broadway and three blocks south of Radio City Music Hall and Rockefeller Center.

“I used to shop at the diamond exchange as a juvenile adult,” Mayweather said TMZwho first broke the news. “I never thought I would own this essential property at the entrance to 47th Street.

“With demanding work and dedication, anything is possible.”

A few months ago, Mayweather began his real estate spree and bought the Versace mansion in Miami. He has purchased 60 properties in Recent York, a decision that will see his net worth skyrocket.

The American is reportedly worth around £1.5 billion. Thanks to his investments, his personal brand will be observable in the public eye.

Mayweather’s boxing career ended with a perfect 50-0 record. Interestingly, his fights included 27 knockouts and 12 world titles in five different weight classes. His total record is 26 consecutive world title wins.

However, Mayweather has not fought in competition since defeating UFC star Conor McGregor in a crossover boxing match in 2017. He won by TKO in the 10th round, marking the 50th victory of his career. Mayweather was expected to earn at least £80 million for the fight.

The Michigan-born star hasn’t been tempted to come out of retirement yet. He shared the ring in an exhibition fight with Logan Paul in 2021, but it seems unlikely he will face any of Jake Paul, Tommy Fury or KSI any time soon.

Instead, Mayweather could continue to expand his real estate portfolio. He could have made millions on his latest purchases.

Tony Bellew believes that a Wembley clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will definitely happen at some point before the Gypsy king hangs up his gloves.

Fury is yet to confirm his next move after losing on points to Oleksandr Usyk in their long-awaited rematch. The Morecambe fighter was unable to gain revenge after his previous defeat in their original fight back in May.

A few days after the rematch, it was suggested that Fury might decide to retire from boxing. He briefly retired in 2022, but many are now wondering if he could hang up his gloves for good after back-to-back losses.

In an interview with Express Sport before the fight, Bellew admitted that he would be surprised if Fury pulled out without fighting Joshua.

“I don’t think this ship will ever sail,” he said. “You’re telling me you couldn’t get 100,000 to go to Wembley to watch these two fight? I think you’d get 50,000 at the press conference. It’s coming, it’s being broadcast. It’s on the charts and on the boards.

“Everyone wants to see it. The melancholy thing is that this looks like it will happen when both products are slightly past their expiration date. It looks like that will be the case [Floyd] Mayweather i [Manny] Pacquiao all over again. It was held back and held back.

“You have to remember that the only person who signed up for these fights and didn’t back out is Anthony Joshua. He signed a contract to fight Fury, he signed a contract to fight [Deontay] Wilder, he fought Usyk twice, he fought [Wladimir] Klitschko

“All these people signed up to fight and they backed out on him. He signed a contract to fight Tyson Fury, and Fury had to withdraw due to Wilder’s arbitration. He signed a contract with Wilder and Wilder backed out because of the mess that was with Fury.

“That’s how it is. It’s really a mess, but one day this fight will 100 percent happen. It’s huge. “It is a huge hit and will probably go down in history as the biggest domestic boxing match in history.”

The long-awaited clash between Fury and Joshua has been discussed for many years but never materialized. An agreement to organize the fight in Saudi Arabia was close to being agreed in 2021, but ultimately the talks ended in failure.

Time will tell whether Bellew’s predictions will come true, even though both fighters recovered from losses and did not hold the belts between them.

Bellew spoke to Express Sport as a brand ambassador Men on a mission campaign in conjunction with DRINKiQ AND Men’s shedsraising awareness of mental health and unhealthy drinking patterns among men over 50.

“We know that statistics tell us that one in four men aged 50 to 75 think almost nothing about their well-being and mental health,” he explained.

“It’s not really talked about. It’s like a taboo topic. They don’t really want to talk about it, they don’t feel the need to. They actually think it’s frail. These are the guests who turn to drink.

“Before you know it, the problem is upon you, it’s getting bigger and something has to be done about it. We need to be out there talking to men of this age and letting them know there are other things to do, because it is, it’s so difficult.”

Anthony Joshua boasts an extremely impressive real estate empire and has invested many millions in his lucrative career away from boxing.

Since turning professional in 2013, the 35-year-old has made a huge personal fortune and has chosen to spend it wisely. He has invested a lot of money in real estate through his company 258 Investments, which manages his real estate empire.

Joshua is not afraid to dare to build his portfolio, including: Sun says it has spent around £150 million on property over the last two years.

Express Sport takes a look at some of his most impressive purchases, starting with his gigantic estate in Hertfordshire…

Former oil headquarters

The most steep property Joshua has ever bought is a 301,000 square foot property near Watford, where he grew up. According to reports, the building was previously used as the headquarters of oil giant BP and its acquisition cost the boxer approximately £30 million Sun.

The development has over 1,300 parking spaces and is home to several enormous businesses, but Joshua has not yet revealed what he plans to do with it.

Luxury address in London

Last year, Joshua spent a huge sum of money buying a property on one of London’s most exclusive streets. It is said to have paid around £25 million to purchase the mixed-use block on Bond Street, which includes hotel, retail, office and medical facilities.

Situated in the heart of Mayfair, the property offers basic access to the city’s trendiest restaurants and shops. It was previously owned by Aviva, but is now in the hands of Joshua and his investment company.

Upscale Mayfair gastropub

At the same time, Joshua bought Bonds Mayfair gastropub, acquiring 12-16 Derring Street, which is valued at around £20 million.

The 6,300 sq ft building also houses office space and has excellent transport links, with Bond Street Tube Station just 100 meters away. This was another wise investment that gave Joshua great opportunities in the upscale part of the capital.

£750,000 impulse purchase

Joshua has purchased another commercial premises in north London, near Alexandra Palace, in 2022. It is not known exactly how much he paid for the property, which is estimated to be worth £750,000, but his company suggested it was a lucrative impulse purchase.

Announcing the deal, 258 Investments shared a photo of Origin Massage Therapy on Instagram with the caption: “A friend and I met for coffee to discuss our real estate requirements and ended up securing a lease for the space where we sat down.”

Two steep family homes

According to him, Joshua also owns two enormous family homes in north London worth a total of £4 million Sun. He has close ties to the region, having bought his mother’s council flat in Golders Green in 2017.

Additionally, the 35-year-old honed his skills at nearby Finchley Boxing Club when he was younger, and his investment in the area came as no surprise given his close ties.
