More than a year removed from his last fight, Anthony Joshua is finally ready to get back in the ring.
Joshua will put his heavyweight titles on the line Saturday against mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev at the O2 Arena in London. It will be Joshua's first bout since defeating Andy Ruiz Jr. on Dec. 7, 2019. Pulev has not officially battled an opponent since scoring a unanimous decision win over Rydell Booker on Nov. 9, 2019, but he is on an eight-fight winning streak coming into the matchup against Joshua.
While it's not the Joshua-Tyson Fury unification fight many boxing fans would like to see, both Joshua and Pulev should be receiving nice paydays after they are done trading shots. Here's a look at how much Joshua and Pulev could earn as well as the net worth of each fighter.

What is Kubrat Pulev's net worth?
Pulev has a net worth of $8 million, according to CelebrityNetWorth.com. The Bulgarian boxer can't currently draw an audience like other top heavyweights, but he could position himself to land bigger checks in the future if he can pull off the upset.
"[Joshua is] strong. He has power, and that power is very dangerous," Pulev told The Telegraph. "But I am technically better and I think this is very important in this fight. We see a lot of mistakes from Anthony. A lot of bad sides to him. I think these mistakes, and the bad sides, have stayed. When I am good, I beat him well.
"Right now, I feel very good, strong and powerful. Of course, he's a good fighter, he is very dangerous. But I'm a danger to him, too, because I am very strong. We will see how Joshua performs. I don't know what to expect from him. It doesn't matter to me. For me, it's only important what I do in the ring and how I prepare."
