Anthony Joshua is set to defend his heavyweight titles against WBO challenger Oleksandr Usyk – but how much money are both fighters set to pocket?
It may not be the big bout with Tyson Fury we were all hoping for – thanks to a certain Deontay Wilder – but it’s better than nothing and the pressure is on AJ to do the business against the unbeaten Ukrainian.

Joshua v Usyk Fight Purses
It’s estimated that AJ has a guaranteed purse worth £10m for putting his heavyweight belts on the line against Usyk. A further £5m is expected to trickle in from pay-per-view earnings. Sure, that’s a life-changing amount of money for the average person in the street but it’s significantly less than the £66m Joshua banked for his rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr. He had also agreed a £100m contract with Fury for their hotly-anticipated bout – with a 50/50 split – before Wilder got in the way…
Usyk is also set to significantly swell his bank balance thanks to a guaranteed purse of £3m, with an additional £2m coming from the PPV money.
Joshua v Usyk Odds
Joshua has only suffered one defeat in his illustrious career and is the heavy favourite to win his first fight of the calendar year.
Anthony Joshua – 4/11
Draw – 22/1
Oleksandr Usyk – 9/4
