Hearn: December 23rd "Big Boxing Night" in Saudi Arabia may still take place.

Promoter Frank Warren has hinted at a massive boxing evening in December 2023: "In December, a significant evening will take place. We will announce it very soon, and it will be huge and you will love it. I can't provide you with all the information right now, but everything is moving in the right direction for it to be a historic boxing evening. There are several excellent matches involving British boxers," said Warren.

Promoter Eddie Hearn commented on this announcement. It seems the tournament is indeed being prepared: "I don't want to say too much because I know I talk too much. We were approached about this date. Six weeks have passed; we have many fighters, some of whom will be ready to fight on December 23. Let's see what happens," said Hearn.

Earlier, Hearn mentioned that Anthony Joshua might have his next match in December. This fight could be the third for the Brit in 2023 – the number of matches Joshua planned at the beginning of the year.

December 23 was the date when Usyk and Fury were supposed to meet for a bout to decide the undisputed champion. However, the fight was postponed to the beginning of 2024.
