FIGHTS involving Anthony Joshua are almost guaranteed to fill up a venue – and it’ll be no different on Saturday night for his Saudi blockbuster with Otto Wallin.
The card – dubbed the ‘Day of Reckoning’ – is set to be one of the richest in boxing history, with boxing’s new paymaster Turki Al-Sheikh pulling out the stops for the December 23 event.

ANTHONY JOSHUA VS OTTO WALLIN: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF THRILLING SAUDI CLASH
What is Anthony Joshua’s net worth?
Anthony Joshua has earned an estimated amount of £200million from his previous fights – but that will increase to at least £250m in the next couple of months, with Deontay Wilder claiming he will earn £50m from his next two fights.
The British superstar pocketed a reported £15m alone from his iconic Wembley clash with Wladimir Klitschko in 2017.
And Joshua’s victory against Joseph Parker a year later saw him take home a little bit less in £13m.
However, AJ collected a staggering £66m when he reclaimed his WBA, IBF, IBO and WBO titles against Andy Ruiz in December 2019.
Before walking home with a reported combined total of £75m after his disappointing defeats to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022.
In Joshua’s most recent fight against Jermain Franklin, AJ walked away with a cool £10m, the same figure he earned for his seven round domination of Robert Helenius in August.
Away from the ring, AJ – who has a £1 million car collection – is one of the most marketable athletes in boxing and has major sponsorship deals with Under Amour, Lucozade, Beats, and Hugo Boss.
In 2021, before consecutive defeats to Usyk, AJ was earning over £8 million annually from sponsorship and endorsement deals – which were worked through his own management firm, 258 Marketing Group – although that figure has since declined.
How much is Anthony Joshua getting for the Otto Wallin fight?
While the exact figure for his fight against Otto Wallin has not been revealed, rival Deontay Wilder says AJ will see a huge cash windfall over his next two fights.
Wilder claimed that AJ’s joint deal for this fight and the next will be around £50 million.
Wilder, who will fight AJ in March if they both win, said: “Everyone will get in the ring for the right price, especially when there is over $50m on the table.
“Everything is going in the right direction now and the fight will happen. The time is finally here and people are going to get what they have wanted for years.”
