Anthony Joshua will reportedly bag a cool £10million prize pot from his heavyweight world title defence against Kubrat Pulev.
Despite gate receipts at Wembley’s SSE Arena being limited to just 1000 due to the coronavirus restrictions as part of the new regional tier system, Joshua will still get a handsome payday in what will be his first fight in a year.
Pulev, who comes to London as the heavy underdog, will earn just £3m from the fight- £7m less than the world champion.
There are no set of purses for the fight and both men could exceed those figures with pay-per-view numbers expected to soar because of the lack of spectators allowed at the event.
Joshua last fought 12 months ago when he exacted revenge against Andy Ruiz Jr to reclaim his world titles and admitted that ring rust could be a problem.
