Eddie Hearn says Anthony Joshua could still face Deontay Wilder in grudge match

Anthony Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn is still holding out hope that he can put together a grudge fight between he and Deontay Wilder.

Joshua is in camp preparing for a summer showdown with Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia, with the unified heavyweight titles on the line. Hearn insists that he is planning on facing Tyson Fury should he get past Usyk, with Wilder not a priority for the Brit's team at the moment.

At one point, Joshua and Wilder were undefeated heavyweight champions that held all the belts between them, and were offered millions to fight one another. But a deal couldn't be done between Hearn's Matchroom Boxing and PBC, who take care of Wilder, and both ultimately ended up losing their titles on multiple occasions.
