The boxing promoter Eddie Hearn reveals the money him and Joshua want if they are to step aside for Fury to fight Usyk, instead of Joshua having a rematch with the Ukraine boxer.

“Seven figures? A million? If you want to get him not to fight Oleksandr Usyk you have to times that by 40,” the promoter said during an interview with Boxing King Media.

“At the moment there is communication between the two teams to say is it something… and the answer is AJ has not been spoken to about this yet. If there’s a route and an offer and it makes sense then we’ll see but right now, it’s just conversations between the camps.”

“At the moment, Anthony Joshua is fighting Oleksandr Usyk and that’s the situation.”

Exciting times ahead for fight fans at the moment, with a lot of good fights in the pipeline.
