Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder are edging closer to a huge heavyweight clash, years after they were initially supposed to fight.
Back in 2018 and 2019, Joshua and Wilder held all of the gold at heavyweight, with the Brit having the WBA, WBO and IBF belts while Wilder was a long-reigning WBC champion. However, they were never able to reach an agreement and that fight fell by the wayside as Joshua lost his belts to first Andy Ruiz Jr and then Oleksandr Usyk while Wilder was beaten twice by Tyson Fury.
The two former heavyweight champions are now, however, reigniting talks for a potential match-up in 2023, which will still be exciting to fans around the world. Wilder recently returned with a vicious first round knockout of Robert Helenius, while Joshua is expected back early next year.
