JAKARTA - British boxing promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed through his social media that the plan for the fight between Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder is "on". Hearn, who is Joshua's promoter, did not specify when he would realize the plan for the duel.
"Basically, AJ already wants to be involved in the fight against Wilder. He said "let's do it" when he crossed paths with AJ, even though AJ was just staring at him. AJ will fight him soon, no problem," Hearn said on his Instagram account.
Wilder and Joshua were actually planned to fight in 2015. At that time, the two boxers from the United States and England were in the peak of their glory as heavyweight world champions.
But the plan has not been realized, until finally Wilder and Joshua lost their reputation as undefeated boxers. And in recent years, they have begun to be defeated by less well-known boxers.
As a promoter, Hearn is currently guiding the attention of boxing enthusiasts to return to focus on the plan for the Joshua vs Wilder duel. A big fight plan between two big-name boxers, which actually 10 years ago should have been held.
Wilder just won his last fight on Saturday night last week at the O2 Arena, London. The former WBC heavyweight champion won a narrow victory over local British champion Derek Chisora, in a brutal fight.
