This weekend, Anthony Joshua makes his comeback facing Robert Helenius. However, his possible fight with Deontay Wilder is making the rounds of the internet. Let's look at everything we know about the fight between Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder!
In recent weeks, there has been a significant amount of discussion about the possibility of Joshua and Wilder finally squaring off in December of this year.
Additionally, there's a chance that the fight might occur in early 2024, and it's being considered that Saudi Arabia could be the chosen location to host this match.

Eddie Hearn, the British sports promoter and chairman of Matchroom Sport, said, "It’s up to Saudi Arabia. I think it can, it could go to February. I don’t think there’s any issue with that month. But we’ve been told January, we’ve been told the date and we’re ready to go. “
