Dubois knocks out Joshua
Despite losing the IBF heavyweight boxing bout to Daniel Dubois in a shocking 5th round knockout, Nigeria-British Anthony Joshua pocketed more cash than the winner, Dubois.
Most people expected Joshua to make much less money from the fight than Dubois but the reverse is the fans’ belief.
According to a report by AS, both boxers will pocket a huge sum of money, but it was Joshua who received the most out of the two fighters.
Dubois is expected to earn a fixed fee of around $4.6 million, which could increase to $13 million depending on the pay-per-view sales.
According to Sporty Salaries, as per Marca, Joshua is guaranteed to earn $7.9 million, which could also increase to more than $30 million with a pay-per-view fee.
Reports say the Nigerian-British boxer made $39 million from defeating UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou earlier this year in Saudi Arabia.
Even though Dubois earned much less than Joshua, the bout gave him the highest pay cheque of his boxing career, reports msn.com.
