The talk inside boxing circles is that Deontay Wilder will potentially fight Anthony Joshua. Furthermore, a December showdown in Saudi Arabia might be on the cards. As Wilder faced legal issues recently, he was arrested in Los Angeles for concealed firearm possession. Additionally, he’s no longer a Premier Boxing Championship exclusive fighter, and he’s now a free agent.

Furthermore, Wilder has agreed to fight Oleksandr Usyk in “a heartbeat”. He’s also interested in fighting Francis Ngannou. These developments show a fighter at a crossroads.

In recent news, Malik Scott has also hinted that if they get a fight before the AJ bout happens, that might be great too. However, Eddie Hearn’s discussion around AJ vs. Deontay Wilder has projected a different narrative. According to him, if the fight doesn’t meet the monetary targets, it won’t happen.
