AJ Could Face Wilder Next Year
Anthony Joshua has revealed the new timeline for his long-awaited showdown with Deontay Wilder. The pair were on course for a December dust-up before Saudi boxing chiefs pulled the plug on their mouthwatering grudge match. But the pair could very well throw down next year if they get through their respective bouts with Otto Wallin and Joseph Parker next weekend. And AJ has claimed a mid-year showdown in 2024 is likely if all things go to plan.
Joshua Willing to Face Wilder Even if He Loses to Parker
Joshua and Wilder, 34 and 38 respectively, were on course to face one another five years ago when they held all the heavyweight marbles. And the constant back and forth in recent years has Joshua willing to face 'The Bronze Bomber' even if he loses to Parker. He said, "I'll still fight Wilder, let's not take our eyes off the prize."
Potential Timeline Revealed
Joshua's revealing of a potential timeline for his clash with Wilder comes just weeks after promoter Eddie Hearn claimed the pair will do battle next March. He told The MacLife, "We got from a situation of it being pretty much agreed for January to not being agreed. But now we fight in December and hopefully we make the fight for March."
