Promoter Eddie Hearn, who deals with the affairs of the world champion in WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO Anthony Joshua, talked about a possible meeting with Deontay Wilder.
According to Hearn, the super fight in the history of boxing should take place before the end of 2018. It is noted that negotiations between the parties have already begun.
"Yesterday I called Haimon (Alan Haimon - manager Deontay Wilder) and had a conversation with Showtime. The negotiations are continuing. In the morning I met with Joshua and his coach Rob McCracken. We discussed plans for 2018.
Again, the fight with Wilder should take place in 2018. If this does not happen, then the unification will be in question, given Joshua's champion commitments. Anthony wants this fight and is confident that he will take place ", - quotes the words of Hearn Sky Sports.
It is interesting that Wilder himself wants to meet Joshua in the summer of 2018 at the Wembley Stadium.
Recall that the winner of this duel will receive all the belts and become the absolute world champion in the heavyweight.
