Anthony Joshua could lose out on £60million Deontay Wilder payday with Dillian Whyte loss

Anthony Joshua has been warned that he could lose out on a whopping £60million payday for his fight with Deontay Wilder if he loses to Dillian Whyte.

The British duo will rematch on August 12 at the O2 Arena in London, where their first professional fight took place back in 2015 before either man had fought for a world title. And should Joshua get through with the same result as he did the first time around, he has a deal worth a career-high amount for a super-fight with Wilder in Saudi Arabia.

However, there is no rematch clause for the August showdown, meaning that the two-time heavyweight champion could end up in no man's land with a defeat. Saudi officials won't offer him anything near the same deal, and the Wilder fight could fall to the wayside entirely.
