Anthony Joshua rejects $400 million boxing offer

Heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua has reportedly rejected a massive $400 million offer for a three-fight deal. The proposal was allegedly made by TKO and the Zuffa Boxing project, reportedly driven by TKO President Nick Khan and Dana White during the first quarter of 2026.

Joshua reportedly declined the offer immediately without entering negotiations to maintain his long-standing relationship with his promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing. Joshua has been under contract with Matchroom since September 2021.

While the $400 million figure has circulated in media reports, some details remain unconfirmed. Separate reports indicate Hearn had previously discussed a different arrangement involving approximately $10 million for rights to a potential match and the possibility of hosting it in the United States.
