Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury will be £200million ‘richest fight ever’ says Hearn and could land at Wembley THIS YEAR

ANTHONY JOSHUA vs Tyson Fury is a £200million super-fight that could land at Wembley in September.

Saudi boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh has bankrolled a brilliant resurgence of the sport, funding and demanding recent bouts between AJ, Fury, Francis Ngannou, Deontay Wilder and Joseph Parker.

His influence and finances have blown apart the usual excuses for mega-bouts not being made – like broadcast and promotional rights and rows – and allowed Riyadh to host a gluttony of elite pugilism.

Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will decide the first undisputed heavyweight ruler in 25 years on May 18 – with a rematch pencilled in.

And Dymity Bivol and Artur Beterbiev will battle for the same four-belt honour at light-heavy on June 1.

But once summer hits the desert, SunSport understands Alalshikh and the events group Sela – which sponsors Newcastle – will branch out into the UK and that super fight would be a sensational entrance.

And Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn has explained how his man could jump the queue and floor plans for the rerun.

Matchroom boss Hearn told Piers Morgan: “I never thought I would be OK saying I am not the most powerful man in boxing but I am not, Turki Alalshikh is.

“He is the biggest fight fan I have ever met and all he wants is the biggest fights and the biggest moments.

“Fury and Usyk have a two-fight deal.
