Antony Joshua Could Earn N45.5bn in Saudi Clash with Deontay Wilder

Anthony Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn  has disclosed the staggering amount Joshua   could earn from his fight with Deontay Wilder  in Saudi Arabia this December.

The heavyweight fighters were promised a “premium price” for their services when Skills Challenge Promotions first disclosed their interest in staging the fight. According to Hearn that price will be £47.3 million (45.5bn).

Hearn dropped the figure in an interview with Carl Froch while speaking on the rematch with Dillian  Whyte. Joshua was hoping to fight Whyte in a rematch on August 12, but a clause in the contract, for a rematch was holding up negotiations.

Report says Whyte was originally not satisfied with the money offer and then he did not want a rematch clause. The clause has now removed at Joshua’s request, saying “I don’t care about a rematch, take it out.”
