Joshua and Hearn Meet with Saudi Boxing Boss
Anthony Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn recently met with Turki Alalshikh, the head of boxing in Saudi Arabia, to discuss a potential boxing event on December 23.
Fury's Plans Change
Tyson Fury, who was initially set to fight Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed crown in December, had a change of plans. Instead, he faced former UFC champion Francis Ngannou in a controversial bout, resulting in a points win. This led to the postponement of Fury's title unification fight against Usyk until February.
Joshua and Wilder on the Card
With the undisputed showdown postponed, Joshua is now in talks to fight on the December 23 card. Deontay Wilder is also rumored to be on the same card, in a separate bout.
Potential Opponents
Joshua may face Otto Wallin, who famously gave Fury 47 stitches in a 2019 fight. Wilder is said to be nearing a deal with Joseph Parker, the former WBO champion.
Promising Matchups
The card is shaping up to be a blockbuster event, with potential matchups between Daniel Dubois and Jarrell Miller, as well as Martin Bakole against Filip Hrgovic. Additionally, Dmitry Bivol, the undefeated WBA light-heavyweight champion, could face Richard Rivera.
Announcement Expected Soon
An announcement regarding the Saudi card is anticipated in the coming days, with fans eagerly awaiting further details.
