Eddie Hearn appears to have laughed off claims that Anthony Joshua will earn £30million for a heavyweight tournament.
Joshua recently defeated Jermaine Franklin in his comeback fight, and is now currently in negotiations over a potential Saudi Arabia. mega-fight against Deontay Wilder in December. Any showdown will form a likely part of a four-man heavyweight tournament, with the Middle East also reportedly in talks with Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk over staging their undisputed title fight.
Radio host Simon Jordan this week claimed that purses for the event saw Joshua and Wilder set to pocket £30million. He said on talkBOXING: “You start hearing about the distribution deals and how you would buy Anthony Joshua out of DAZN. Or how you would do a dual-broadcast deal.”
