Ukrainian boxing star and reigning world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has reportedly signed a contract to face British boxer Anthony Joshua one final time in a blockbuster winner-takes-all bout.
According to reports, the highly anticipated fight will carry a staggering $1 billion purse, with the winner set to earn $700 million, while the loser will take home $300 million. The bout is scheduled to take place at the Banger Boys Arena.
Anthony Joshua has also confirmed his agreement to the fight, describing it as a deeply personal decision. The former heavyweight champion said he is stepping into the ring in honour of his late friends, Sina Ghami and Latif Latz, dedicating the bout to their memory.
Usyk and Joshua have faced each other twice in the past, with the Ukrainian emerging victorious on both occasions. This upcoming clash is expected to be their final meeting in the ring, adding emotional weight and historical significance to the contest.
Fans and boxing analysts are already describing the matchup as one of the biggest fights in boxing history, not only because of the fighters involved but also due to the unprecedented financial stakes.
