Ruiz Jr, the current WBA, IBF & WBO heavyweight World Champion is only set to make £7.7 Million from the rematch while Joshua, the now-contender is set to make over six times that amount.
Joshua's purse will be between £40-60 Million. The final sum will depend on the pay-per-view sales generated by the event, mainly in the UK, but also worldwide.
The Brit's huge earnings will not be the biggest in boxing history, with Floyd Mayweather holding that record for his £250million fight against Manny Pacquiao in 2015.
