Head of Matchroom Boxing Eddie Hearn told how much Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk and Cameroonian Francis Ngannou will earn for the fight against WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
Recall, the fight between Fury and Ngannou will take place on October 28 in Saudi Arabia. Then, in December, the Briton will hold a bout against Usyk.
Hearn told IFL TV:
It's probably 30 & 70 and 30 & 80, but I've heard there's a rematch clause, whatever happens. So, it's probably plus.
Ngannou last fought against Ciryl Gane in January 2022 at UFC 270. In that confrontation, Francis won by unanimous decision of the judges. He has 17 wins and three losses on his MMA record.
Fury last entered the ring against Derek Chisora in December 2022. This fight ended in favor of Tyson by technical knockout in the tenth round. He has 33 wins (24 by knockout), one draw and no defeats in the professional ring.
Usyk's last fight was against Daniel Dubois in August 2023. Oleksandr won this fight by knockout in the ninth round. He has 21 wins (14 by knockout) and no losses.
