The proposed fight between the British pair of Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua has reached on the purse split that will see Joshua accept a 60:40 split with Joshua, with the WBC heavyweight champion taking the lion’s share of the purse.
This has led to Joshua himself reportedly admitting that this could be his last such chance for a huge heavyweight title fight. This is due to either Joe Joyce or Joseph Parker becoming mandatory challengers for Oleksandr Usyk’s WBO belt in their fight which takes place in Manchester this Saturday.
It is Joshua’s difficult current position, having lost three of his last five fights, which has led to the ‘cash out’ claims from DiBella, with the top promoter and former Deontay Wilder representative suggesting that it is the best current option open to Joshua to pursue a fight with Fury.
The American told Seconds Out: “Joshua didn’t fight poorly against Usyk. He fought better than he fought (the first time), he just lost to a better boxer. If he was going to win the fight and fight Fury, is it so outrageous that he lost the fight and he’s going to fight Fury? No.
The fight is rumoured to be taking place on December 3rd at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
