Anthony Joshua MBE has taken delivery of his self-commissioned Range Rover SVAutobiography-Dynamic, complete with a ‘World Champion Graphite’ paint job.
The British boxer, who faces Wladimir Klitschko in the World Boxing Association ‘Super Title’ fight on Saturday 29th April at Wembley, visited Range Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) Technical Centre in Warwickshire earlier in the year, exploring his love for the premium brand.
During his visit, Joshua sat with Land Rover designers and hashed out a plan to create his own bespoke SVAutobiography-Dynamic model, with unique interior and exterior touches.
Anthony Joshua said: “I am preparing meticulously for Wembley on April 29th, no stone has been left unturned and I will enter the ring ready for a battle. I spend a lot of time on the road travelling to Sheffield during my training camps so I am incredibly grateful to Land Rover and the SVO team for their assistance.”
What is so special about Anthony Joshua’s Range Rover?
Based on the Range Rover SVAutobiography-Dynamic model, Anthony Joshua’s Range Rover is the first ever model to feature the carmaker’s new SVO Design Pack. This custom design pack, which is set to be officially launched worldwide in May this year, includes bespoke quad tailpipes, side vents, side sills, front and rear bumpers and grille.
Other features of Joshua’s Range Rover include diamond-quilted upholstery, Anthony Joshua signatures on the driver’s headrest, B-Pillar and door sills and there are even boxing-specific touches, including boxing glove pattern door handles and special sports equipment storage in the boot.
Joshua added: “I had a fantastic experience in specifying this Range Rover, and the level of design detail in the finished vehicle is stunning, from the boxing glove emblems in the door handles to the custom storage unit for my training equipment.”

The ferocious puncher told Auto Express: “Currently, I’m in a beautiful white Jaguar XJR. It’s supercharged, so if I’m late to training, it’s got the poke I need to get there on time. But I never go over 30mph, and it definitely never goes in sports mode…”
He nearly bought a Rolls-Royce Phantom Stretch
In the aftermath of his IBF title triumph over Charles Martin, Joshua fought the urge to purchase a £600,000 Rolls Royce Phantom stretch, after hiring one and liking it so much! Floyd Mayweather owns one, so the new heavyweight champ’ naturally wanted one.
