Matchroom Sports promoter Eddie Hearn recently said what is taking place behind the scenes concerning the heavyweight bout between Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.

The fight, which has been expected for a long time, has become the subject of many headlines as several people shared their knowledge and views on why the match was not yet a reality. Eddie Hearn has announced that the agreement that will precede the fight is being processed.

‘We’re in talks about Las Vegas, we’re in talks about sites in the Middle East and I do think we’ll see that fight,’ Hearn shared. ‘I do think AJ will fight in December or early January and then I think there is no other fight other than the Deontay Wilder fight and that’s the one that we want, we’ve wanted it for a while now. We were ready to take it in January we’re happy to take it in March and April.’

Anthony Joshua has made his desire for an opponent very clear to his crew, according to one of them, saying he wanted a fight very fast. The fighter promised his fans three fights this year.

‘AJ has had two fights this year and taken much less money than he’s used to but he’s not that bothered,’ said Hearn. ‘He wants momentum and activity but he also wants the big fights.

‘AJ wants to fight Tyson Fury more than anything in the world and really when I’m mapping out his career I see Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury as the final two for him to compete against.

‘In my vision AJ fights Deontay Wilder, knocks him and fights Tyson Fury and beats him and then retires. Then he’s done the lot and we can just sail off into the sunset.’
