“Battle of the Wallets: Anthony Joshua Set to Pocket £8 Million in Clash Against Otto Wallin”
ANTHONY JOSHUA and Otto Wallin are gearing up for a substantial purse as they prepare to face each other in Saudi Arabia on Saturday. The “Day of Reckoning” event, which also features Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker, will see the two heavyweights pocketing significant earnings from the clash.
Anthony Joshua‘s Earnings
While the exact figures remain undisclosed, it is estimated that Joshua, 34, will earn approximately £8 million from the fight against Wallin. Deontay Wilder, a potential future opponent for Joshua, suggested that the two-time heavyweight world champion could earn over £40 million for his next two fights. If this speculation holds true, Joshua would likely receive a more substantial payday for a bout against Wilder than for the current clash with Wallin.
Otto Wallin's Earnings
The earnings for 32-year-old Wallin are unclear, but he is expected to receive a substantial sum for the fight against Joshua.
Background and Expectations for Joshua vs Wallin
Anthony Joshua aims to secure his third consecutive win after consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk. The fight against Wallin positions Joshua for potential blockbuster fights in 2024, including the possibility of challenging for the IBF title currently held by Usyk and facing off against top contenders like Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder. Wallin, known for causing Tyson Fury significant trouble in their encounter four years ago, will look to make a statement against Joshua.
Trainers and Belts
Joshua, previously working with Derrick James, enlisted Ben Davidson for the clash with Wallin. Wallin is working with Joey Gamache. Neither fighter holds major heavyweight belts, but victory is expected to set up future battles against top contenders, potentially leading to a championship bout.
Fight Details
The Joshua vs Wallin fight is scheduled for Saturday, December 23, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The main event ring-walks are expected to start around 11 pm GMT.
