As per reports, Joshua is expected to earn approximately £8 million for his bout with Wallin. Wilder suggests that Joshua could potentially make over £40 million for his next two fights, hinting at a significant purse for their potential face-off.
If Wilder’s estimate holds true, Joshua’s earnings from the initial fight would be around £8 million, with an additional £32 million when facing Wilder.
The anticipated payout for Wilder’s upcoming fight against Joseph Parker remains undisclosed. In his most recent match in August, Anthony Joshua secured a seventh-round knockout victory over Robert Helenius.
Meanwhile, Deontay Wilder, who had only fought once since his November 2021 defeat to Fury, scored a first-round knockout against Helenius, marking a return to winning ways after back-to-back losses to Tyson Fury.
Two-Fight Contract
Both Joshua and Wilder, set to fight different opponents at the upcoming Day of Reckoning: Fight Night in Saudi Arabia, have reportedly agreed on terms for a highly anticipated two-fight contract.
According to boxing insider Dan Rafael, all details have been ironed out, and the official signing is expected before the weekend’s event.
The framework for their mega-fight in Riyadh on March 9 was established over a week ago, including financial terms, with certain details still pending resolution. The agreement was contingent on both fighters emerging victorious in their respective bouts at the Day of Reckoning.
The potential clash between Joshua and Wilder is poised to be a blockbuster event, given the extended period of anticipation as both fighters have circled each other for a considerable time.
Despite recent tension, with Wilder describing Joshua as a “nervous wreck” after a press conference encounter, Wilder expressed his desire for Joshua’s success and acknowledged that the real spectacle awaits them once their immediate challenges are overcome.
