Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz:
Anthony Joshua to rake $85Million after Saudi rematch, win or lose on 7th December 2019.
Ruiz Jr, on the other hand, will pocket $13Million after the much-anticipated rematch.
Five days to the much-anticipated rematch, dubbed “Clash of the Dunes”, which was initially scheduled to hold in Cardiff City after Joshua triggered a rematch clause in his contract with Ruiz’s promoters, but in a sudden turn of event, the oil-producing Arab nation toed in with a massive offer with promise to build a 15,000 capacity stadium where the fight will hold.
It would be recalled that in their first fight at Madison Park in New York, Joshua pocketed lion share of £20 million despite suffering the first defeat of his career.
The Mexican champion, however, went home with £5 million though he deposed Joshua of his heavyweight champion, carting away his WBA, WBO and IBF belts.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, the hosting country, due to its strong Muslim practices, has axed ring girls from the much-anticipated bout.
