Anthony Joshua confirms date for "throwing down" with Deontay Wilder

Anthony Joshua has confirmed that he will "throw down" with long-time rival and fellow ex-heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder this December in a video with fans.

The hard-hitting duo have been pushing for a fight with one another for years, and despite neither man holding the belts any more, there is still massive fan interest in seeing them step in the ring together. And it appears the duo will answer the calls when they meet in December.

It is believed that Joshua and Wilder will fight in Saudi Arabia for massive paydays, potentially as part of a tournament with the men who dethroned them as heavyweight champions, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. And while Joshua didn't confirm it, he did tell a fan on social media that the bout was happening.
