Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou are set to pocket substantial earnings for their highly anticipated bout in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on March 8. Originally slated to face Deontay Wilder, Joshua’s plans shifted after Joseph Parker’s victory over the American just before Christmas.
Now gearing up to battle Ngannou, who narrowly missed victory against Tyson Fury, the financial stakes are high. According to Sports Business Journal, Joshua is expected to earn approximately £31 million from the showdown, while Ngannou is poised to receive a significant £16 million—double the amount he earned in his closely contested bout against Fury last October.
