WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker and IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua have agreed on a purse split for a unification fight, David Higgins of Duco Events has said.
According to Higgins, the split is between 30 and 35 percent.
Hearn, Joshua’s promoter initially wanted Parker to accept a 30 percent deal. Parker only getting 32 or 33 percent is hardly a victory for him.
“We’ve had a major breakthrough, which is the two camps have formally agreed on the split,” said Parker’s promoter David Higgins to ESPN.com.
“The Joshua side has made a small concession, and the Parker side has made a small concession. It’s between 30 and 35-ish percent for the Parker side. It’s somewhere closer to the middle of that,” said Higgins.
Now that the money split has been agreed on, Parker and Joshua will need to agree on the date and site for the fight. The fight is expected to take place either March 31 or sometime in April.
