Oleksandr Usyk is in line for a purse of over £40million after successfully defending his world titles against Anthony Joshua.
Usyk out-pointed Joshua for the second time in 11 months after another impressive display in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night. The Ukrainian was given the nod by two of the ringside judges with the other, inexplicably, awarding victory to Joshua.
And as a result, Usyk could bank a £9million bonus on top of his £33m purse, as long as the fight performed to expectations at the Box Office. Saudi Arabia splashed out £66m to stage the fight with Sky Sports spending a whopping £23m for the rights to ensure huge paydays for both men.
