Anthony Joshua wincing

Anthony Joshua will surrender several lifetimes’ worth of money.

Anthony Joshua enjoyed a dominant win over Jake Paul on Friday night. However, it’s the American influencer who’ll be laughing all the way to the bank, broken jaw and all.

Joshua and Paul both earned a reported $93 million for their participation. But, given that there will be two countries involved when it comes to taxing Anthony, he’s going to surrender a lot more.

Florida has no state tax. Yet the federal government is expected to take around 37 percent in deductions, amounting to roughly $34 million. Yahoo Sports has pointed out that he will also have to pay taxes upon his return home, amounting to around $7.4 million, to His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.

Joshua will also be required to pay another $1.8 million in National Insurance contributions.

The deductions will set Joshua back approximately $43 million in total. This will leave him with $50 million from the initial $93 million.

Meanwhile, Paul will only be taxed $34 million. He will only incur the federal tax hit because he lives in the U.S. The YouTuber will pocket an extra $9 million, despite making the same amount from the fight.

It’s no wonder Paul made sure to give a shoutout to America after the fight.

He sustained double fractures in his lower jaw, having been handed the first KO defeat of his career. Considering the sums involved, he certainly won’t mind.

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
