It was a rare joint appearance by Joshua — said to be worth £200million — and his £125million rival Fury.
Their combined fortunes are just over half the estimated £600million amassed by Ronaldo.
Meanwhile, Alalshikh, dubbed His Excellency for his ability to tie-up fight deals, is worth an unconfirmed £70million while Ngannou is the pauper of the group at £5million.

He posted online: “I want the winner after I smash the rabbit.”
Alalshikh also teased an upcoming project with Ronaldo, who is the highest-paid footballer in history following his move to Saudi club Al-Nassr in 2022.
