Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou have reached an agreement for a bout scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia in March.

As reported by Forbes, Anthony Joshua stands to earn approximately 50 million for this fight, a sum equivalent to what WBC World Champion Tyson Fury received for his previous bout. Regarding Ngannou, his agent mentioned that the boxer is expected to receive around 20 million.

It was initially announced that the fight would occur on March 8th. However, both fighters' representatives will hold a press conference in London shortly, where they will officially confirm the bout's date.

In October, Ngannou faced Tyson Fury, with the Cameroonian-French fighter losing by a split decision despite knocking down the British boxer in the third round. Anthony Joshua's most recent bout took place the previous month against Sweden's Otto Wallin, ending with Joshua winning by technical knockout in the fifth round.
