The highly anticipated clash between Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder is reportedly scheduled for March 9, 2024, in Saudi Arabia.
Before this epic heavyweight showdown, both fighters are required to secure victories in their upcoming matches next weekend, showcasing their strength and readiness.
This development arises due to the rescheduling of Tyson Fury's bout against Oleksandr Usyk to February 17, following Fury's demanding ten-round encounter with Francis Ngannou.
In response, Saudi Arabia has decided to host a significant heavyweight card next weekend, featuring Joshua facing Otto Wallin and Wilder taking on Joseph Parker.
ESPN reports that a deal is in place for Joshua and Wilder to meet in March, contingent on both emerging victorious in their respective bouts next week.
This reported agreement adds excitement to the boxing community, as the bout has been in the making since 2018.
Joshua's upcoming opponent, Wallin, recently secured a victory against Murat Gassiev and suffered a loss only to Tyson Fury.
Wilder, on the other hand, will face off against former world champion Joseph Parker.
