There are certain things that money just can’t buy, irrespective of one’s net worth. Former bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger will surely testify about the same. His massive net worth was incapable of fulfilling one of his biggest wishes.

Anthony Joshua faced Wladimir Klitschko at the Wembley Stadium in London, England, on April 29, 2017. He won the bout by a 11th round TKO. Moreover, in victory, he retained his IBF heavyweight titles, and also won the vacant WBA (Super) and IBO heavyweight titles.
