Anthony Joshua WILL fight on the same card as Deontay Wilder with former heavyweight world champion set to face Otto Wallin in Saudi Arabia on December 23

Anthony Joshua will compete on the same bill as Deontay Wilder on December 23 in Saudi Arabia.

The Briton, who is looking to regain the world title in the heavyweight division, will take on Swede Otto Wallin in the Middle East.

Joshua, who defeated Robert Helenius in his last fight in August, will fight after Wilder, who faces Joseph Parker on the undercard.

December 23 was initially reserved for Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk’s undisputed heavyweight showdown, which has since been postponed following Fury’s lackluster performance against Francis Ngannou last month.
