From reportedly earning some hundred thousand bucks in UFC, the Cameronian is now dealing in millions. Many publications stated that Ngannou earned a whopping $10 million fighting Tyson Fury. The Predator is now scheduled to step inside the boxing ring on Friday, March 8, 2024, and is set to make another exorbitant number. How much? Let's find out.

Francis Ngannou vs Anthony Joshua: How much money Francis Ngannou will receive?

The fight's earnings for Joshua and Ngannou have not been made public. Many media outlets used a Sports Business Journal article purporting to show that, when pay-per-view points are excluded, AJ will earn $50 million compared to Ngannou's $20 million. However, the original piece no longer provides a list of precise numbers. Still, a Forbes report has supported the idea that those amounts are real. Ngannou received $10 million for his October fight, according to Fury, whose pal Derek Chisora said the "Gypsy King" took home $50 million.

While the fighters are set to take home a huge sum, let's hope that the audience also reaps from the match and that the fight lives up to the expectations. Considering the profile of both the heavyweights, it can be predicted that the fight could go down to the wire. As per the betting odds, Anthony Joshua will enter as the favourite.
