Anthony Joshua vs Jermaine Franklin prize money: How much will the fighters earn?

Anthony Joshua takes on Jermaine Franklin at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday. But how much will each fighter earn?

The British fighter is retaking his first steps towards the pinnacle of the heavyweight division, having suffered two straight defeats to unified champion Oleksandr Usyk in his last two bouts.

Joshua tasted defeat against the Ukrainian on points in September 2021, losing his heavyweight titles in the process.
