Saudi Arabian promoter Amer Abdallah has said that officials in the region view Anthony Joshua's hotly-anticipated clash with Deontay Wilder as an "easy fight to make".
The pair were due to meet on multiple occasions when they held all the heavyweight gold between them, but could never agree on a deal before losing every belt to Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury respectively. But even though both men have been defeated multiple times, fans are still clamouring for the bout as a deal appears to be approaching for a December date.
And Abdallah, one of the leading voices behind the scenes in getting the bout made in the Middle East, feels that it will be relatively straight-forward to work with both men and their teams after establishing solid relationships over the years. Joshua has already fought on two major shows in Saudi, while Wilder was reportedly thrilled by his February visit for Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury.
