Derek Chisora leaks potential pay days awaiting Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia tournament

Derek Chisora has leaked the potential paydays awaiting Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk and Deontay Wilder in Saudi Arabia.

There have been widespread reports of a money-spinning tournament of sorts in the Middle East in December pitting the biggest names in the boxing world against each other.

The heavyweight division in particular has attracted plenty of criticism of late with Fury’s undisputed fight against Usyk breaking down.

Still, there is hope the financial rewards on offer in Saudi could facilitate what would surely be a record-breaking night of boxing.

Last month, Joshua confirmed to Standard Sport that an eagerly-anticipated meeting with Wilder was indeed on the cards.

Chisora, who lost to Fury in December, joined up with the Saudi-based Skill Challenge to help promote the fight between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury in February.

Of the potential event in Saudi, the veteran told IFLTV: “I think each fighter will make £150 million.”
