Anthony Joshua confident Deontay Wilder fight will "definitely happen" next year

Anthony Joshua has promised he will finally fight his long-time heavyweight rival Deontay Wilder in 2023.

The two hard-hitting heavyweights once held all the gold in the division, but have since lost their belts - and the subsequent rematches - to Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury respectively. However, fans are still keen to see the two knockout artists get into the ring together after years of debate over who would win.

And Joshua has excited viewers by claiming he will fight Wilder in 2023 during a recent video with GQ. The Brit is expected to make his comeback early next year, before likely rematching Dillian Whyte, after which it's possible that he could face Wilder, with the winner returning to contention for the undisputed title, which will have been decided between Fury and Usyk.
