Boxing News - Anthony Joshua claim from Tyson Fury
Tyson Fury has claimed Anthony Joshua turned down a £61million ($80million) offer for two fights with Deontay Wilder.
“I know some quite close details on that,” the lineal heavyweight champion said during a recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast.
“The details is: Wilder’s team offered Joshua’s team £61million ($80million) for a two-fight deal.
“£38million ($50million) for the first fight and £23million ($30million) for the rematch if Joshua lost. And they declined that.
“And my lawyer - Robert Davis - he saw proof of funds from Al Haymon.
“So Eddie Hearn and his chum buddies can say all this, that and the other, but I know the truth. Because proof of funds was seen.”

"He's another fighter who wants to get through me to the king - AJ. He is another who will fail," Bellew said of the undefeated Ukrainian.
"He is underestimating me and already asking promoters which heavyweight will he face after this.
“He is in for a rude awakening. When I hit him for the first time he will feel it.”
