JAKARTA - Heavyweight boxer and former two-time champion Anthony Joshua (AJ) confirmed the fight against Deontay Wilder will take place in December.
The 33-year-old fighter has just returned to winning ways by defeating Jermaine Franklin at the start of the month. It also ended his previous two consecutive defeats against Oleksandr Usyk.
"It has become public news that we will hold the fight. We will hold it in December," said Joshua, quoted by The Sun.
Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, earlier this week had flown to Saudi Arabia to talk about the possible fight between the two boxers.
Meanwhile, Wilder's team has also given the green light for the fight. Even Wilder himself said that meeting AJ would be a dream fight for boxing fans.
We have a lot of different choices at the moment. Joshua, everyone. I think a lot of people will get a dream fight that everyone wants to see," said Wilder.
Wilder has never boxed again since hitting KO Robert Helenius in the opening round of his comeback match in October last year.
