The payout for this fight will break the record for the highest amount paid for a British fight. With a pay of \u00a346m, Joshua would be cashing out big, regardless of the outcome of the match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The talented boxer who once held five different heavyweight titles including the Unified Heavyweight Championship is setting a goal to recover all the titles he lost to Ruiz at the rematch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anthony Joshua was defeated in June, 2019 in a very unexpected twist. After having remained undefeated for 22 matches, the loss came as a shock to the world. As a result of the outcome of the fight, Joshua had to surrender four of his belts to Ruiz Jr.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africagiant.org\/anthony-joshua-vs-andy-ruiz-the-come-back-2019\/\">Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz the come back 2019<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rematch is scheduled to take place on the 7th of December in Saudi Arabia. However, the venue of the fight has received a lot of backlash from all around the world as the oil nation is presently embroiled in allegations concerning violation of human rights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saudi Arabia emerged as the victor of the bidding war that ensued between the nation and other cities like New York and Las Vegas. According to news outlets, Joshua is set to earn the largest amount of money in the history of British boxing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jackson&#8217;s payment will break the record set by Ricky Hatton who earned\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a320m for going against Floyd Mayweather in 2007.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Ruiz Jr. will be paid a little more than \u00a310m for the rematch. This amount is far lesser than Joshua&#8217;s proposed earnings for his appearance at the fight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The highest pay Anthony Joshua had received was the \u00a318m he was given when he first fought against Andy Ruiz Jr at Madison Square Garden earlier on in June.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His earnings are projected to even exceed the \u00a346m as Sky Sports will charge up to \u00a324.95 for viewing the match. Joshua is expected to win this rematch, just like he had the world rooting for him in the first fight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9ec0f8d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9ec0f8d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-019782b\" data-id=\"019782b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-466153b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"466153b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<p><em>An <\/em><strong><em>Africa<\/em><\/strong><em><strong> Giant<\/strong>\u00a0is someone of African origin with natural abilities to be an expert in their area of specialty.
