Anthony Joshua has declared that he is willing to take a
pay cut to make a potential fight with Tyson Fury happen in the UK,
rather than an overseas location.
Last year, AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn negotiated a deal worth
tens of millions of dollars to take the rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr
to Saudi Arabia.
It is expected that the same will happen with a location in the
Middle East or the Far East if the proposed Tyson Fury megafight
happens next year.
However, Joshua has now said he’d be open to accepting less
money to get the fight on in front of the UK fans.
When asked if he’d take a pay cut to make this happen, Joshua
replied, “Yeah, why not?
“I’m now fighting Kubrat Pulev for a massive pay cut. Matchroom
are taking pay cuts this year because we have to keep the sport
alive. We are all doing our part at the minute so I wouldn’t mind
doing it again.

“It’s not harming me, and it’s for a bigger cause as well. It’s
a big fight, but the main objective is how do we get Fury in the
ring?
“My management team are going to do what is financially viable
and see what is going to get Fury to step in that ring. It’s a
balance.”
