This coming Saturday, August 20, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Oleksandr Usyk, the holder of the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles will give revenge to the ex-world champion Anthony Joshua. On the eve of the fight, the British tabloid Daily Star shared its information about the possible fees of the boxers.

For participating in the fight, Joshua will earn less, despite the fact that the prize fund of the fight will be larger than in 2019 during the Briton's rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr. At that time, Arabian investors offered $60 million, but now there will be about $80 million at stake. It is reported that the distribution of the prize fund will be in the ratio of 50 to 50, that is, $40 million for each boxer.
