The earnings of Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois from their Wembley showdown have been revealed

The earnings of Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois from their Wembley showdown have been revealed, according to a report.

London played host to the event on Saturday night, which saw Dubois upset to odds to knock out his fellow Brit in the fifth round to propel himself to the top of the heavyweight scene.

He could now face the likes of Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk next, though a potential rematch with Joshua is also on the cards, it has been revealed.

Joshua, meanwhile, faces an uncertain future, but has vowed to continue fighting after calls came for him to retire at the age of 34 following the fourth defeat of his career.

The sum he is reported to have earned for the bout, however, could provide some comfort, with the figure reportedly set to rise to £25million.

Joshua reportedly picked up a guaranteed £6million for turning up, with paymet possibly rising to £25m

According to Sporty Salaries via GB News, Joshua was guaranteed to take home £6m purely for turning up.

Depending on pay-per-view sales, the figure is thought to have the potential to more than quadruple.

Dubois is thought to have picked up a guaranteed £3.5m with the potential for the sum to rise to £10m – though his pay cheques will almost certainly be bigger in the future after his statement win.

Joshua, meanwhile, broke his silence after defeat with a video on his Instagram account on Monday afternoon to reiterate that he would not be retiring.

‘We came up short but we have got to look at all the positives and that’s the mindset that we have to have – a positive one, always,’ he said in the social media video.

‘Look at what we’ve achieved in the space of 11 years and I want to thank every one of you that’s been riding with me.

‘What a rollercoaster journey. But you know what the problem is, is that it’s far from over yet.’

Dubois, meanwhile, is thought to have picked up £3.5m with the fee potentially rising to £10m

The reason why Joshua’s fee was bigger than Dubois’ is because of the attention on the fight he commanded, despite losing.

He now, however, faces a potentially long road to becoming a three-time world champion amid uncertainty over a rematch.

It has been claimed that the attendance was a record-breaking crowd for a British boxing fight, with Turki Alalshikh claiming there were ‘more than 98,128’ fans in attendance.

Tyson Fury’s Epic Meltdown: ‘FKING TOSSER!’ – IBF Rankings and Joshua-Usyk Rematch Slammed!

Tyson Fury, the reigning heavyweight champion, recently voiced his frustrations regarding the International Boxing Federation (IBF) and the current state of boxing during an interview in London. Known for his candidness, Fury did not hold back in expressing his displeasure over the IBF’s ranking decisions and what he perceives as bias against him. In a lively exchange with journalist Charlie Parsons, Fury reflected on his preparation for his upcoming fight, emphasizing his dedication to the sport and his ongoing passion for boxing. He mentioned that if others were compensated as handsomely as he is, they too would find inspiration in the sport. However, Fury’s focus quickly turned to the IBF, which he criticized for their questionable rankings, particularly their decision to place him outside the top 15 after he had just paid a substantial fee to compete for their title. Fury’s frustration was palpable as he referred to the IBF’s belt as “a piece of sh*t” and expressed his disdain for the organization, stating he would “piss on it” when he got home. He took aim at Daryl Peoples, a judge he believes is not fit to officiate significant bouts, suggesting that the judging system in boxing is flawed, particularly when it comes to his fights. Despite his strong feelings regarding the IBF, he acknowledged that he had no loss of faith in the judges, who he deemed competent. As he prepares for a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, Fury indicated that he plans to approach the fight with a renewed focus, aiming to avoid complacency. He admitted that in their previous encounter, he may have underestimated Usyk’s abilities, engaging in what he called “clowning around” during the match. Fury’s goal for the upcoming bout is to assert himself with more concentration and less showboating. The conversation also touched upon the future of heavyweight boxing, including the potential for a rematch between Anthony Joshua and Usyk. Fury, who has previously clashed with Joshua, expressed skepticism about Joshua’s chances of winning should a rematch take place. He suggested that if Joshua continues to face defeats, the prospect of their fight, which once promised to be a blockbuster event, may not hold the same allure. Fury concluded the interview by discussing his holiday plans, humorously noting that he would indulge in festive feasting and then work to shed the extra weight come January. The heavyweight champion remains optimistic about his future in boxing, hinting at the possibility of a trilogy fight with Usyk. As Fury gears up for his next challenge, his passion for the sport and his determination to reclaim his status remain evident, ensuring that fans will be eagerly awaiting the December 21st showdown.

Joshua’s resilience and determination have always been hallmarks of his career, and this latest challenge will undoubtedly test those qualities once again. As he navigates the recovery process, the boxing community remains hopeful for his swift return to the ring, ready to reclaim his position among the elite in the heavyweight class.
