Anthony Joshua’s 258 Management: What Does It Stand For?

Unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has his own sports management company. The Englishman set up his company along with his team with a particular aim in mind. While the concept of boxers getting into player representation is slowly gaining popularity, Joshua seems to be way ahead in the game. So ahead of his fight against Kubrat Pulev, here’s everything you need to know about his management company, 258 MGT.

Joshua has explained the concept in a video on his YouTube channel. He said, “What does two-five-eight represent? 25-8. If god, the universe, the time-gods, whatever you want to call it, gave you another hour, and another day, it’s how would you use it. And what we try and replicate is, we want to use that as another day to work and try and achieve our goals and dreams.”

So the idea is very clear and direct. However, ‘AJ’ explains the significance of that extra time you could get. He said, “It really gets you thinking, to understand, what type of person you are. And if you are a type of person who wants to push yourself and further yourself, this is a community to be involved in. And that’s why if we can send that ethos to the younger generation, it would definitely help them for their future.”

Who are the athletes that Anthony Joshua represents?

The goal of the company is obvious, and there is no doubt they have the tools to do what they promise. However, the company already has many stars on its roster and has put on multiple blockbuster fights for them. The three most notable of these fighters are Lawrence Okolie, Joshua Buatsi, and Ramla Ali.

With such high caliber fighters in their ranks, the only way is up for Anthony Joshua and his agency. The current heavyweight champion may have a lot left in the tank; however, he seems to have his post ring days sorted. Furthermore, given his good relationship with others in the sport, the agency will surely be a success in the long run.
