This is Anthony Joshua’s one-off 560bhp Range Rover

Two-time heavyweight champ gets a two-and-a-half-tonne bespoke Rangie

Published: 12 Mar 2020

Here is a special Range Rover built for a special talent: behold, the RR SVAutobiography destined for two-time heavyweight champion of the world, Anthony Joshua.

Yep, Land Rover created this one-off Rangie specifically for Big Josh, and specifically for his upcoming title defence against Kubrat Pulev. Ferrying around 18-odd stone of finely-honed boxer requires something equally heavy-handed, one suspects.

And thus, underneath lies 5.0-litres of supercharged V8 goodness, delivering 560bhp and 516lb ft of torque to record a 0-62mph time of 5.4s, and a top speed of 155mph.

Inside, there’s a bespoke badge detailing AJ’s family crest and his four world heavyweight titles (IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO belts), a plaque on the centre console engraved with ‘AJBXING’, and personalised illuminated treadplates. The big man’s signature has been embroidered on the headrests, and the coolest, most subtle detail is the interior door handles etched with a boxing glove motif.

Elsewhere you’ll spot Union Flag badges on the front arch vents with the number 258 – Josh’s management company – and the whole car is decked out in ‘Bespoke Black’ paintwork, and a ‘Graphite Atlas’ grille, vent graphics and door handles.

“The countdown to my next fight has begun and this custom Range Rover will play its part in the build up,” Joshua said. “With family and media commitments here in London and my training base in Sheffield, I spend lots of time on the road.

“The SVAutobiography will take the stress out of long trips, allowing me to relax in complete comfort.”

Perfect fit for a heavyweight champ, no? What else do you reckon Joshua should drive? Holler below...
