Anthony Joshua Relocates To Dubai From UK Following Tragic Accident
Anthony Joshua has officially moved his residency from the United Kingdom to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
The 36-year-old former heavyweight champion made the change public through official filings for his business interests, which are estimated to be worth around £150 million, declaring the UAE as his new country of residence.
Joshua, born in Watford to Nigerian parents, rose to fame after winning Olympic gold for Great Britain at the 2012 London Games and went on to become a two-time unified heavyweight world champion.
The move comes after a devastating car crash on December 29, 2025, on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Joshua survived the crash, but personal trainer Latif “Latz” Ayodele and strength coach Sina Ghami lost their lives.
Dubai remains a favored destination for wealthy athletes and celebrities, in part because it imposes no personal income tax. This provides a major financial incentive for high-earning sports figures like Joshua, whose companies—including Sparta Promotions—have reported strong profits in recent years.
By relocating, Joshua will no longer face UK taxes on the substantial dividends generated by his business ventures.
