Joshua To Pocket 10million Pounds In Title Defense With Pulev

World Heavyweight Boxing Champion, Anthony Joshua, will amass a whopping 10million pounds in his title defense against Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev on Saturday.

The fight is scheduled for Wembley’s SSE Arena with a minimum of 1000 spectators billed to grace the bout due to Covid-19 situation in the UK.

Joshua will smile to the bank with 10 million pounds after a fight that may be his last for the year.

According to the UK Telegraph, his opponent in return will earn 3million pounds, that is 7 million less than Joshua’s earning for the bout.

It’s almost a year since Joshua last fought in a ring.

He has not appeared in the ring since he won back his belt from Mexican boxer, Andy Ruiz Jr, who surprisingly beat him to the belt in their first bout.

Ahead of the fight, Joshua has exuded confidence, and seems to be better physically and mentally.

“That’s what makes this fight so interesting. This year has just thrown every obstacle at us all.

“I might go in there, I can tell you that I’m a million dollars, I feel good, I’ve been knocking everyone out in sparring. I’m the one that’s coming up now and I’m going to be the undisputed champ and I go in there on Saturday night and I (might) get my head punched in because I’ve got ring rust. Who knows?

“But I feel good, I’m looking forward to it. I haven’t boxed in such a long time, but that’s why in lockdown I’ve done a lot of training, mental training. I’ve done a lot of sparring, getting my body tough again, getting punched up.

“Sometimes in sparring in my head I’m going to take this round off and let this boy punch me up because I need to get tough. I need to get that thick skin. That’s the closest way I can prepare and I hope it comes to fruition on Saturday.”
