Joshua, Fury to earn record-high career paydays

Promoter Frank Warren has announced that Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury will earn the largest paydays of their careers when they face off on December 11 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, according to PUNCH Sports Extra. This long-awaited bout, backed by Netflix and Saudi financier Turki Alalshikh, has been plagued by negotiations over the venue and involvement of UFC boss Dana White, but Warren's persistence has finally secured the deal.

Warren claims the financial rewards are so significant that it would be foolish not to proceed with the fight, labeling the purses "huge" and "massive money," potentially the highest of any British fighter's career. The fight will be sanctioned by the World Boxing Association (WBA) as a "super" title match, and Warren anticipates his fighter Joshua to secure a knockout victory.

The fight is set to take place against a backdrop of other notable boxing events, including Ben Whittaker vs Conor Wallace, Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley rematch, and Canelo Alvarez vs Christian Mbili, all leading up to the Fury-Joshua showdown in December.
