WOW!! See How Much Each Fighter Could Earn From The Anthony Joshua Vs Francis Ngannou Fight

Explore the potential earnings for each fighter in the eagerly awaited bout between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou scheduled for this Friday.

Mark your calendars for Friday, March 8, 2024, as boxing enthusiasts eagerly await the showdown between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Anticipated as a monumental event in the boxing realm, this fight is poised to draw a substantial live and pay-per-view audience. Former world champion Anthony Joshua aims to reclaim his title after losing it to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021.

He is determined to prove himself and make a triumphant comeback. On the other hand, Francis Ngannou, a former UFC champion, is looking to capitalize on his debut boxing match against Tyson Fury and secure his first victory in boxing. Both boxers are set to pocket millions of dollars in prize money, regardless of the fight’s outcome.

While the official figures for the prize money have yet to be confirmed, reports indicate that Anthony Joshua is in line to earn almost $50m (£40m), making it one of the highest-paying fights in boxing history. However, it’s almost certain that Ngannou will earn significantly more than his last fight against Tyson Fury, where he took home $10m (£7.8m).

Reports suggest that he will make at least $20m, which would be double what he earned in his previous fight. It’s worth noting that the purse does not include pay-per-view money or fees for winning.
