Anthony Joshua earned almost 50 million pounds for two fights against Oleksandr Usyk, talkSPORT reports.

In the first fight, the split of the fee was 75 to 25, so the Briton received £15 million and the Ukrainian received £5 million. In the rematch, despite Joshua's defeat, the split was 50-50 with a fee of 65 million. Thus, Anthony earned almost 50 million euros for fighting Usyk alone.
