Tyson Fury claims Anthony Joshua fight purse would be split ‘60-40’



“Everyone’s saying 80-20, 70-30, 75-25. The actual answer is: I’ve offered him 60-40; 40 per cent of this amazing fight, because I want this fight to happen.

“He doesn’t have any excuses now not to take it. He can’t say I’ve low-balled him and offered him 20 per cent, 30 per cent.

“I’ve offered the people 40 per cent, take it or leave it. Let us know. Boom.”

Fury, 34, last fought in April, knocking out fellow Briton Dillian Whyte at London’s Wembley Stadium to retain the WBC title.

Since then, the unbeaten Fury has toyed with the idea of retirement, but he informed the WBC last month that he would not be vacating his championship as he intends to keep fighting.

Meanwhile, Joshua’s most recent loss to Usyk was the third of the 32-year-old’s professional career.

Joshua was also outpointed by the southpaw in September 2021, and before that “AJ” suffered a shock stoppage defeat by Andy Ruiz Jr in June 2019.

Six months later, Joshua avenged that loss by beating the Mexican-American via decision.
