How much is Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight worth and how much will each boxer earn?

TYSON FURY and Anthony Joshua’s past-due Principality punch-up will be the RICHEST fight in the history of British boxing. The twin flag-bearers of UK boxing over the last decade will finally collide on December 11 in a pre-Christmas cracker in Cardiff. The duo, 38 and 36 respectively, will face one another SIX YEARS after inking a deal for a pair of domestic dust-ups in 2021 when they held all the heavyweight marbles. A lot has happened since the two-fight series went by the wayside because of Fury’s contractual obligation for a trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder. Father Time has caught up with both men in recent years, as well as a Ukrainian boogeyman in Oleksandr Usyk. They’re shells of their former selves, although that hasn’t stopped Saudi conglomerate Sela and streaming powerhouse Netflix from stumping up an extraordinary amount of cash for the Cardiff clash of former heavyweight champions.
