Tyson Fury has revealed how much Francis Ngannou made from their fight.

Ngannou faces Anthony Joshua this evening (8 March) with the pair going head to head in Saudi Arabia.

But it seems there's still plenty of tension between Ngannou and Fury after the pair began heckling each other in a pre-fight press conference.

Fury, 35, shouted from the crowd that he would beat Ngannou, 37, again if they entered the ring together for a re-match.

And Ngannou wasn't having any of it, saying he wanted another chance to 'wipe the ring with his a***' before adding that only rules stopped him from beating Fury.

The pair went head-to-head in October last year in what was the former UFC champion's first professional boxing fight.

"I'm going to wipe the ring with your a*** again - there was blood in the ring," Fury said.

"Your only chance is in the boxing ring with boxing rules, when you step out the ring you better stay five metres away because if I lose it, you'll have a really bad time my friend.

"Respect the fact boxing rules are protecting you, because you are nothing in front of me.

"I'll beat you every day, twice on Sunday."

In retaliation, Fury then revealed what Ngannou reportedly made during their fight.

"All of his UFC career, he made about $1 million," he said.

"I made him - it was about $6m or $7m.

"So he should be grateful really - instead I've had to tell him off in front of a load of people.

"He's having a lot to say on camera after I've given him his biggest payday by about a million times.

"I don't know, just like he's an ungrateful f***er."

The fight comes after Joshua was beaten by Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022, which saw him lose his WBO, IBF, IBO and WBA belts in the process.

But more recently, AJ has had a winning streak, beating Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius and Otto Wallin.

Fans have already decided who will win, after Drake - who is known for losing the majority of bets he places - put a wager on Ngannou to win.

One wrote: "Drake bet on Ngannou so Joshua is going to win now."

While another said: "There's no worse better than Drake. Bet the house on Joshua."

And a third added: "Reminder: anything Drake bets on is always a lost... Now rebet that game and carry Joshua to win."

LADbible has contacted representatives for Francis Ngannou for comment.
