I do not rate Tommy Fury but he is involved in a main event with Logan Paul in Saudi Arabia PPV. They are not good boxers but bring in the fans.
I do not see AJ being on any under card anytime soon.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Popularity is everything. It is prize fighting. Even at the very bottom of the rung the fighters who can sell tickets will get the opportunities. If you can't sell tickets and bring in a crowd, then you are not going anywhere. Often there are better fighters on the undercard, but it is the tickets sellers who will headline and bring in the punters to pay the promoters bills.
During the launch press conference for his fight with Franklin, ‘AJ’ was asked by boxing promoter Eddie Hearn what was motivating during this pivotal time in his career.
“Money,” Joshua said repeatedly before Hearn had even finished asking the question. “I like making money. Straight up. Like, this is a prizefighting sport.
“I’ve been broke. My family has been broke. I know what this s*** means and I do it because I’m good at it and I hustle hard.
“When it’s all said and done no-one will care about me no more. So, I’ve got to make the most of it while I’m here.”
According to Forbes, Joshua is already a very rich man and has amassed a £38 million fortune after becoming one of the biggest stars in boxing during his tens years as a professional.

I'm surprised at that figure thought joshua would be worth a lot more than that.
Money his driving factor? Don't quite get that
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
That was exactly my first thought. this is it though , it’s how it’s written .
“What somebody is worth” isn’t money in the bank.
“He has amassed a £38m fortune” is closer to that ,earnings AFTER TAX etc.
This is why there is always so much bollocks talked about people like Conor Macgregor for example. He’s worth a fortune because people pay to see him (fuck knows why??)
But Dana White’s company used to take a massive commission off fighters, meaning that they were probably only “taking home” about 20% of the purse that gets banded around.
Most of this wealth is just an illusion nowadays.
