Eddie Hearn, a boxing promoter, has revealed that Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder is almost a done deal.
The Matchroom Boxing CEO will meet with Saudi Arabian promotional firm Skills Challenge Promotions and Wilder’s representatives in London next week to finalise the contract.
Joshua and Wilder are likely to fight in December in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, while Skills Challenge is also aiming to stage Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk’s long-awaited undisputed bout on the same night.
‘We intend to hold discussions in London next week to finish the transaction. “We have faith in Prince Khalid and Skills Challenge’s desire to fight,” he told Boxing News.
‘It’s usually slow, but there are talks in London next week to finalise the agreement for Joshua-Wilder.

But how much money is appropriate? I’m sure everyone has their own thoughts.’
Multiple attempts to schedule a fight between Wilder and Joshua have failed in the past.
