Joshua and Wilder Facing Interim Fights
Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder are in discussions with different opponents to fight on the same card in Saudi Arabia, following the cancellation of their much-anticipated bout. Saudi backers pulled out of the event, leaving Joshua and Wilder to pursue interim fights before negotiations can resume.
December Show in Saudi Arabia
Boxing bosses in Saudi Arabia had initially planned a massive event on December 23, featuring Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. However, Fury was dropped from the lineup after a controversial win over ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou. The historic first four-belt heavyweight unification has now been postponed until February, but the Saudis still want a show in December.
Joshua in Talks with Otto Wallin
According to reports, Anthony Joshua is in talks with former sparring partner Otto Wallin for a potential bout. Wallin famously gave Tyson Fury 47 stitches and nearly scored a TKO victory before losing on points. If Joshua were to beat Wallin, it could lead to an IBF title fight against Filip Hrgovic.
Wilder in Talks with Joseph Parker
Meanwhile, Deontay Wilder is reportedly in talks with ex-WBO champion Joseph Parker for a potential fight. Parker recently won on Fury's Saudi undercard, and a bout with Wilder could be on the horizon.
It remains to be seen if Joshua and Wilder will both secure fights on the same card, but fans are eagerly awaiting any updates on these potential matchups.
