Deontay Wilder reveals he hopes to make more than £75m from Tyson Fury showdown
WBC champ has laughed off suggestions that the only way to earn big is by fighting in the UK
DEONTAY WILDER believes he could earn as much as £75MILLION from his December fight against Tyson Fury.
The two will put their undefeated records on the line, as well as Wilder's WBC belt, at the T-Mobile Arena in Los Angeles on December 1.
But some believe Wilder has picked an "easier option" in taking on Fury as opposed to WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO world champ Anthony Joshua.
A deal for the two reigning champions to meet looks no further to being arranged, with money seemingly the biggest issue.
But Wilder discounts the idea that a potential unification fight needs to take place in the UK - with Joshua almost guaranteed to sell-out Wembley for such a clash.
And he believes his US blockbuster title defence against Fury will prove that point - as well as earn him a fortune.
Speaking to , the Alabama boxer said: "People always think the money is in Europe and it's over there. The money is not, it's here, because of the cap that they have there.
"Pay-per-view here we can do 59 [million dollars] all the way up to 100."
