Anthony Joshua Could Earn £70 Million in Potential Fight Against Jake Paul

Talks are intensifying for a potential boxing match between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul in Miami, with Joshua expected to earn around £70 million if the fight materializes. The total purse for the bout is believed to be close to £140 million, with negotiations reaching a crucial stage.

While Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, has cautioned against assuming the deal is finalized, the opportunity for a lucrative payday is hard to ignore. The fight is gaining momentum, especially with Netflix potentially streaming the event, following the success of their documentary on Mike Tyson's fight last year.

Jake Paul, with a 12-1 record, is looking to face Joshua after a canceled fight with Gervonta Davis. Joshua's team is considering the broader implications beyond financial gains, aiming to get the former world champion back into competitive form after a period of inactivity and injury recovery.
