Fans could pay £49.95 for pay-per-view for Joshua, Fury fight
Boxing fans have been informed that the much-anticipated unification fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury would not come cheap.
There was jubilation when news broke last week claiming a deal had finally been agreed.
According to World Boxing News, that amount could be doubled for Joshua vs Fury to £49.95.
Before now, the price for pay-per-view fights in England was always set at £19.99 on both Sky Sports and – more recently – BT Sport.
In the meantime, both Sky Sports and BT Sport are currently considering a figure between £29.95 and £49.95.
That figure was increased to £24.95 by Sky Sports for Joshua’s much-anticipated rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia back in December.
