After failing to come to terms with Oleksandr Usyk for a potential fight, promoter Frank Warren is now reportedly willing to offer a significant sum of money to Anthony Joshua for a fight against Tyson Fury.

The negotiations for a Fury-Usyk matchup fell apart due to several issues, including the location and purse split. In a recent interview, promoter Bob Arum explained that they were close to finalizing a deal, but ultimately, they were unable to come to an agreement. With the Fury-Usyk fight now off the table, Warren is now looking to set up a blockbuster fight between Fury and Joshua. However, this will not be an easy task as there are several hurdles to overcome before the fight can be made. Moreover, he is confident that Fury will dominate his fellow countryman.

“Because you’re Usyk and you can make say $15M fighting Fury — which is a good number — but if you go another route and you fight Fury in the winter in Saudi, you can make $50-60M,” he said.

Boxing is a sport where money matters above all. Moreover, these athletes do have to see the financial incentive to make these super fights at the best possible time. However, this is also the reason why many of these super fights never get booked in boxing as we can see now.
