Fury vs Joshua: Both fighters to earn British record paydays

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have finally agreed to fight in Cardiff on December 11 after a lengthy delay over the venue for their historic all-British heavyweight clash; Fury's promoter Frank Warren shared new details of the negotiations with Sky Sports News

Frank Warren has revealed that Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will each earn more than any British fighter has previously been paid for a single bout when they finally meet on December 11.

The long-awaited all-British heavyweight showdown was finally confirmed on Thursday as the date and venue - Cardiff's Principality Stadium - were announced by the fight's promoters.

Despite both fighters having signed to face each other, the fight was in major doubt amid a dispute over the location before Cardiff was agreed upon as the host.

Warren, Fury's long-time promoter, told Sky Sports News : "They're getting paid more than any British fighter has earned in a fight ever.

"That's why no one could walk away from it because of the amount of money involved. From Tyson's position he really, really wants this fight.

"The money was agreed ages ago. The sticking point was that the contracts did not match up and neither side was aware of that. There were two different venues that were put in the contract.

While Fury has been given primarily billing with his name first on the fight announcement, Warren revealed that it has yet to be decided which of the pair will walk to the ring first.

A challenger would usually be first to walk to the ring, where they would then have to wait for the champion to follow.
