Negotiations Underway for Joshua and Wilder on December 23.

Former world champions in the heavyweight division, Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs), and Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs), may have bouts on evening of December 23 in Saudi Arabia, according to American insider Dan Rafael.

Supposedly, the fighters will participate in separate fights, with negotiations reportedly in the final stages. The WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol (21-0, 11 KOs) might also be part of the boxing event.

Earlier, Frank Warren has announced a "grand boxing evening" set to take place in December in Saudi Arabia, with Eddie Hearn confirming that there are several boxers ready to fight at the end of the year.

Hearn also responded to the possibility of a Joshua vs. Wilder fight, stating it might take place in March or April.

He mentioned potential opponents such as Hrgovic, Wallin, and Kabayel but clarified that no official agreements have been reached for December 23 yet, though a match on that date could be considered if negotiations progress swiftly.
