Heavyweights Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder reached a deal for a fight on March 9 in Saudi Arabia, sources told ESPN’s Mike Coppinger.
Both Joshua and Wilder are scheduled to fight on Dec. 23 and must win those bouts to move forward, Coppinger adds.
Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs) will take on Otto Wallin later this month. The 34-year-old’s last bout came in August when he defeated Robert Helenius via seventh-round knockout.
