The 28 year old Joshua is considered by many to be the future of boxing and the most exciting boxer in the sport today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dana White<\/strong>, the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a huge fan of Joshua and has admitted in the past that he was very <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/boxing\">interested in getting into boxing<\/a> and signing Anthony Joshua under <strong>Zuffa Boxing<\/strong>. White is expected to travel to Cardiff and be present at ringside to watch the fight. He will later meet with Joshua to discuss a potential offer which is reported to be around $500 million.<\/p>\n<p>This could <strong>potentially work out to around $50 million per fight<\/strong> for Joshua which is a lot more than what he makes with current promoter <strong>Eddie Hearn<\/strong>. Joshua reportedly takes home around $15 million per fight and signing with Zuffa will give him a much bigger payday. Eddie Hearn will obviously not be very happy with the thought of losing his golden boy whom he signed back in 2013. However Joshua has admitted that he will go ahead and meet with Dana White to discuss a potential offer.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Joshua said <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We will listen and 100 percent if it makes sense, we are all in. So I am happy that Dana\u2019s coming into the game, hopefully we can add some excitement and we can progress forward and make some more money and make some good fights<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>FightHype.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V52WXPqxgJY?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Anthony Joshua Expresses Interest Of Fighting In The UFC<\/h2>\n<p>Joshua currently has a <em>20-0<\/em> record and all of his wins have come by knock-out.
