talkSPORT columnist Simon Jordan was the first to report on the mega-tournament in Saudi Arabia, where boxing fans will see heavyweight leaders in head-to-head confrontations. Now Jordan has named specific amounts of specific participants.

It is expected that in the main event Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) will unify all four heavyweight belts with Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs), and on the undercard Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) will face Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs).

Jordan claims the event has a budget of £200m split as follows: Fury will get the most at £90m. It is reported that Usyk will earn 50 million pounds, while Wilder and Joshua - 30 million pounds each.
