There appears to be major progress with the Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder fight.
According to Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn, the fight — tentatively planned for a Saudi Arabia mega card in December — is virtually agreed in principle.
“We’re in a great place with them [Saudi],” Hearn told Boxing News. “We virtually have a deal agreed in principle subject to a few final discussions on stuff. They’re staying. We’re seeing them again on Monday.
Boxing promoter, Eddie Hearn claimed that a rumoured fight between Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder could be close to materialising, after positive talks was heard last week.
Joshua last fought in April, when he secured a unanimous points victory over American Jermaine Franklin, but has been keen to step back in the ring this summer, with August 12th the date picked out for his next fight with compatriot Dillian Whyte after an agreement was signed and finalised.
