Anthony Joshua to Earn £75 Million in Fury Fight
Anthony Joshua is reportedly set to earn £75 million from his heavyweight clash with Tyson Fury, scheduled for December 11 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. This fight is expected to generate a combined purse of £150 million, with both fighters receiving equal shares.
The £75 million payout would be the largest single purse of Joshua’s professional career. The fight comes after several failed attempts to arrange a bout between the two British heavyweights, initially planned for 2021.
Both fighters faced Oleksandr Usyk, with Usyk defeating each of them twice. Joshua emphasized the importance of holding the fight in Britain, stating, “British boxing gave me everything.” The bout could potentially be the final fight for either Joshua or Fury, both of whom are in the latter stages of their careers, and will take place without a rematch clause.
