The Nigerian boxer is set for a mind-blowing payday for his fight against Francis Ngannou
Anthony Joshua is poised to rake in a staggering ₦79 billion ($50 million) for his highly-anticipated bout against Francis Ngannou, with the former UFC champion set to pocket ₦31.6 billion ($20 million).
A Megafight in the Making
The upcoming clash between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou has all the makings of a megafight, pitting two of the most formidable punchers in combat sports against each other.
Ngannou's formidable performance against WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury elevated him to a legitimate threat in the heavyweight division.
The Rise of Ngannou The Boxer
Initially, the idea of Ngannou crossing over to boxing seemed improbable. However, after his impressive showing against Fury, where he delivered one of the hardest fights of Fury's career, perceptions swiftly changed.
Ngannou's strength, durability, and sheer power have made him a lucrative match for any opponent.
Challenges for Joshua
While Joshua is considered a stronger puncher than Fury, facing Ngannou presents a different kind of challenge.
Unlike Fury, Joshua and his camp have studied Ngannou's boxing skills extensively, but Ngannou's prowess in the squared circle remains untested under the lights.
The Fight Ahead
The bout between Joshua and Ngannou is scheduled for Friday, March 8, 2024, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The main event is expected to commence at approximately 11:50 am Nigerian time, with the match set to last 10 rounds, each lasting three minutes.
As anticipation builds for the showdown between Joshua and Ngannou, all eyes will be on the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. With Joshua poised to earn a significant sum from the fight, both fighters are gearing up for what promises to be an electrifying encounter in the ring.
