Zhilei Zhang vs Joe Joyce 2 is just days away now with the two fighters meeting in the centre of the ring for the second time at Wembley Arena on Saturday, 23rd September. Both boxers are expected to earn an extremely lucrative purse for the bout, but just how much is the winner expected to make from the fight?
Zhilei Zhang vs Joe Joyce 2 Fight Purses
We are just days away from this highly anticipated heavyweight rematch dust-up between Joe Joyce and Zhilei Zhang. This huge boxing clash set for 12 rounds goes down from Wembley Arena this Saturday night and is simply not to be missed.
Over 12,500 boxing fans are expected to be packed into the rapturous Wembley Arena to witness this compelling main event. Zhilei Zhang vs Joe Joyce 2 takes centre stage in the main event, with several high-class fights on the Zhang vs Joyce 2 undercard.
For ‘Big Bang’ and ‘The Juggernaut’, both men are expected to make huge sums of money for this fight. Joe Joyce is used to getting paid huge sums of money each time he fights now, given the men he has beaten of late such as Daniel Dubois, Carlos Takam and Joseph Parker to name but a few.
For Zhilei Zhang, he is expected to earn in excess of £600,000 for this rematch against Joyce as a base salary (source: InsideSport). This is the same as what he made in total last time, so it is likely Zhang could earn upward of £1 million in total for this rematch against Joe Joyce once you take into account the gate money and sponsorship etc.
In the opposite corner, London’s Joe Joyce is also set to earn a huge payday too. According to InsideSport, Joyce is set to receive a purse of £668,644 for this rematch bout against Zhilei Zhang. Again, this figure will definitely inflate in the aftermath of the fight once you take into consideration his share of the gate and endorsements.
This is the official purse from an official document from the WBO and there can be no speculation about it. Therefore, despite losing the first fight and not being the champion, ‘The Juggernaut’ will earn more than ‘Big Bang’. The two parties would have agreed on these numbers during negotiations of their first fight.
Both men are set to earn a fortune this weekend, but the question on everyone’s lips is just how much money will the winner make exactly?

How Much Will The Zhang vs Joyce 2 Winner Make?
Well, the answer to that question entirely depends on who wins the fight. Both men are expected to receive an individual fight purse, so depending on which man has their hand raised (see above) will determine how much the winner receives.
The pair’s respective purses for their rematch will likely not change too drastically given the fact the terms for their second showdown were already ironed out. Zhang, however, will likely receive a bump in pay as he’s now the A-side of the fight having become the first man to stop Joe Joyce last time out.
The winner of the bout will likely receive an additional purse on top of what they are already expected to take home. Do not be surprised if in the aftermath of the fight it is reported that the winner has earned far more than their original base purse states.
There is so much riding on this fight, both in terms of money and stature. Both men are being paid extremely lucratively for this fight and rightly so. If Zhilei Zhang is to win, which the best online gambling sites expect him to do again judging by the odds, he could earn closer to £1.5 million in total.
Similarly, if ‘The Juggernaut’ can claim revenge on Saturday night and level the scores, he could earn in excess of £1.5 million too. No matter the result, Zhilei Zhang is expected to receive a career-high payday this weekend. Similarly, even if Joyce loses for the second time against ‘Big Bang’, this will still be one of the biggest pay-days of his boxing career to date.

One thing we know for certain is that the winner will be in a fruitful position going forward. If that be the powerful Chinese heavyweight, Zhilei Zhang, expect him to have some huge fights going forward. He could well earn a shot at Oleksandr Usyk next year, getting his first shot at full world honours against the unified world heavyweight champion.
Should Joe Joyce right the wrongs of the first fight and win the rematch here, he too could be next in line for a shot at Oleksandr Usyk’s three world title belts. Joyce and Usyk have history having fought in the World Series of Boxing as amateurs, so there is a narrative there that could sell for a world title fight in the pro ranks.
As of today for the main event, Zhilei Zhang is the slight 4/5 favourite to win the fight with the best boxing betting sites. Some punters will of course fancy the Brit, Joe Joyce, as the betting underdog in this fight. He is currently priced around EVS with the best UK sports betting sites to bounce back and get revenge this time around against ‘Big Bang’.
What a fight we have on our hands from the Wembley Arena on Saturday night. Finger’s crossed the actual fight lives up to the hype!
