Joshua vs Dubois purse money: How much will they make and how will they split it?
The clock is ticking down to the huge crunch clash between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois, which is set to be held at Wembley in London, marking the first headline bout at the famous football venue since 2022.
The world heavyweight title, currently held by Dubois, was handed to him after his win in the interim fight was upgraded to a title victory. Usyk was the IBF Heavyweight Champion, but he was forced to relinquish his belt after choosing a rematch against Tyson Fury over giving the obligatory challenger a go at taking away the title.
How much will Joshua and Dubois earn for their fight?
Joshua also has a chance for glory and a perfect opportunity to get back the belt that he held previously. As well as the huge honour of being called a world champion, there is also a pretty pot of money that will be handed out to the fighters. Here’s how things are split.
The show, which features a fantastically entertaining undercard lineup, is organized by Riyadh Season, Matchroom Boxing and Queensberry Promotions, three names that ooze money, but we won’t know the actual earnings until the two fighters step into the ring. However, we can be sure that it will be well within the millions.
Reports say that Dubois is set to earn around £3.5million ($4.6m) guaranteed but that the figure could rise up to £10m ($10m) depending on PPV sales.
As for Joshua, he will take home £6m ($7.9m) before the fight starts but the figure could rise to £25m ($33m) depending on PPV numbers. It has been widely reported that the London fighter banked £30million ($39m) after knocking out UFC icon Francis Ngannou earlier in the year.
The main card on DAZN PPV begins at 11 a.m. ET in the U.S. and is available for the price of $19.99). Ring walks for the main event are expected at 5:30 p.m. ET with fans able to follow the AS USA live coverage on with our very own Jeff May.
