Anthony Joshua could earn up to £10million for his heavyweight outing against Jermaine Franklin tonight.
Joshua is set to return to the ring at his familiar home in London's O2 arena against American contender Franklin, as he prepares to step beyond the ropes for the first time since last August. The British heavyweight will look to bounce back from losing twice to Oleksandr Usyk, including in their Saudi Arabia rematch, and he needs a win to revive his ambitions of becoming world champion again.
The 33-year-old has had some mammoth paydays including for his recent fights against Usyk and his previous career-best display against Wladimir Klitschko. And he will likely bank at least a seven-figure payday for his latest outing, which will be significantly smaller given his status outside of the belts.
