Anthony Joshua is back for his third fight of 2023. Anthony Joshua’s comeback continues this Saturday when he meets Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin as a part of the “Day of Reckoning” card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This is going be Joshua’s third bout of the year after securing consecutive victories, first over Jermaine Franklin and then Robert Helenius earlier in 2023, but his next rival will be no walk in the park. The massive event will witness two former heavyweight world champions face off in the ring in the form of Deontay Wilder vs. Joseph Parker. Thus, fans are quite excited about the potential payouts and salaries for the event. Many are wondering if Anthony Joshua will make more money from the fight than Deontay Wilder.
For Wilder, this is his first action since a win against Robert Helenius back in October 2022, but if the Bronze Bomber can get the victory, a much-anticipated fight with Anthony Joshua could be on the horizon for next year. Let’s explore the payouts for the main and co-main event fights.
Anthony Joshua vs Otto Wallin- Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker Speculated Purse and Salaries
According to a report from the Sports Grail, Anthony Joshua bagged a purse of around $10 million and since the event wasn’t contested as a pay-per-view event, his earnings will remain the same. Thus, it is safe to consider that he will earn around the same region for the upcoming mega event as well.

On Fox Sports pay-per-view, Wilder scored a first-round knockout victory over his former training partner and top contender Robert Helenius. ‘The Nordic Nightmare’ was riding a three-fight winning streak heading into the heavyweight clash. Additionally, from the fight, it was estimated that the former champion made 20 million dollars for the contest.
However, Anthony Joshua will be fighting on the main event of the card. Thus, it is possible that the Brit could earn more than the American from ‘Day of Reckoning’. Although, it remains unclear if both fighters can register a win to set up a blockbuster fight between themselves.
