Potential Payouts for Joshua and Ngannou's Bout Revelead

As previously reported, former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou have agreed to a fight.

According to Forbes, Joshua is likely to receive a fee comparable to what Fury was paid for the bout with Ngannou – $50 million.

Sports Business Journal reports that Ngannou's agent has confirmed his client will earn another eight-figure sum for the fight with Joshua. Francis earned $10 million for the bout with Fury, so, as per reports, there is every reason to believe his fee for the fight with Joshua could approach $20 million.

The potential date for Joshua vs. Ngannou is March 8.
