For many, property investment is intimidating, full of jargon, numbers, and unseen pitfalls. But for heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, the path to financial growth became clear when he discovered British property educator Samuel Leeds, a mentor renowned for making complex investment strategies easy to understand.
In 2019, Joshua reached out to Leeds via Instagram with a note that underscored the value of clear communication:
“The thing you do great is make something complicated easy to understand.
Being gifted is one thing, but being able to deliver your message is a special talent.”
Joshua’s message wasn’t just praise; it was the start of a collaboration that would see his inner circle spend a day with Leeds, studying his investment approach and learning how to apply it to build long-term wealth. Today, Joshua has reportedly grown his property holdings to an estimated £150 million.
When Discipline Meets Strategy
Joshua’s interest went beyond a simple message. His brother and business advisors later spent an entire day with Leeds, learning his investment strategies firsthand. Joshua himself has applied the same focus and discipline he brings to boxing to his property ventures, growing a reported portfolio worth approximately £150 million.
For Leeds, who has spent a decade teaching financial freedom through property, the praise was a major validation: “When someone of AJ’s stature recognises your ability to teach and break things down, it means a lot. He’s not just a world-class athlete; he’s a serious entrepreneur.”
Learning to Step into New Rings
The influence wasn’t one-sided. Inspired by Joshua, Leeds took on a challenge outside his comfort zone: a charity boxing match in 2023 against fellow property educator Rob Moore. Leeds won on points after a first-round knockdown, raising £250,000 for charitable causes benefiting remote African communities.
“Anthony inspired me, not just to get in the gym, but to push myself outside my comfort zone,” Leeds explained. “The fact that our bout also raised a quarter of a million for good causes makes me proud.”
Building Authority Through Impact
Leeds continues to run his property academy and invest across the UK, helping ordinary people achieve financial freedom. Endorsements from public figures like Joshua have amplified his visibility, but it’s his ability to simplify complicated strategies that truly sets him apart.
In a world where information can be overwhelming, Samuel Leeds proves that clarity is power, and Anthony Joshua clearly recognized it.
