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.

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.

This could be a arduous Christmas for Tyson Fury. The self-proclaimed “Gypsy King” returned home from Saudi Arabia following a crushing rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk, seemingly dashing any hopes he had of unifying the heavyweight division one day.

At 36, Fury’s future is in doubt and the holiday season could be a time of contemplation as promoters clamor for a long-awaited fight between him and Anthony Joshua, albeit with no belts on the line.

Regardless, Fury has undoubtedly lost his status as the No. 1 heavyweight of his generation. And it’s a far cry from Christmas two years ago, when his dominance in the league was so perceived that in one Christmas joke he was even accused of bullying his rivals.

Just three weeks after defeating Derek Chisora ​​in London to retain his WBC title, he posted a photo on Instagram of himself standing with other boxers including David Haye, Joshua, Wladimir Klitschko, Dillian Whyte and Deontay Wilder. But this was not an ordinary image of world-famous fighters.

Fury stood under the Christmas tree surrounded by five children. However, the youngsters’ faces were photoshopped using a boxing quartet instead, and Whyte was particularly mocked when his head was placed on an apparently diminutive child, who Fury was holding in his arms.

Just eight months earlier, Fury had demolished his British rival at Wembley Stadium, stopping him in the sixth round of a one-sided fight. The Christmas card sparked mixed reactions from fans, with the Morecambe man widely accused of “cyberbullying” and hypocrisy after previously defending himself as a supporter of mental health awareness.

Some also questioned why the photo included Haye and Joshua, whom Fury has not fought in his career. But most importantly, there was no room in the photo for the man who had inflicted Fury’s only professional defeats since then.

By December 2022, Usyk held three heavyweight belts, securing consecutive victories over Joshua. Fury, however, regularly downplayed the prospect of the Ukrainian potentially unifying the division, scathingly criticized his apparent lack of size and often called him “cruiser weight.”

It’s unlikely we’ll see such a cheerful festive gesture from Fury this time around. He has been inactive on social media since the unanimous points defeat in Riyad, although he complained about the referees’ decision at the post-match press conference.

His celebrated Christmas Instagram post may yet backfire if he faces “AJ” in 2025 and is defeated. This would mean he was facing retirement as he had only actually beaten two of the five boxers he considered “daddy”.

As for Usyk, a man who is essentially impossible to intimidate, he is unlikely to be cowed by any social media taunts after he humorously responded to claims by Fury and Frank Warren that he received “Christmas gift”. “Uncle Frank, I think he’s blind,” he replied, chuckling.

“If Tyson says it’s a Christmas present, then OK, thank God, not Tyson. Thank you to my team.”
