Eddie Hearn, head of Matchroom Boxing and manager of British heavyweight Anthony Joshua, answered a question about a potential fight of his client with American Deontay Wilder.
AJ wanted to fight three times this year. Wilder is on the card; victory for both and the fight is inevitable. We got from a situation of it being pretty much agreed for January to not being agreed. But now we fight in December and hopefully we make the fight for March.
